OS-JEE-i

Posted by: Craig Walls on 05/26/2008

For quite some time I've been pondering OSGi and how it fits into enterprise Java. And that interest has been magnified over the past month with the release of "The Platform".

I've got lots of OSGi, Spring, and enterprise Java stuff cooking up--I'll share more about that in some future post. But today, I'm unveiling a new term that I've coined to describe the stuff I'm working on...

OS-JEE-i

After all, the "G" in OSGi isn't really applicable anymore. And I'm mostly interested in the intersection of OSGi and JEE--not purely OSGi, not purely JEE. The term "OS-JEE-i" hit me earlier today. I've Google'd it quite a bit and haven't found anyone else using it, so I thought I'd claim it before someone else does.

I hereby issue an almost obligation-free, irrevocable license to use the term. The only thing I ask is that if it catches on, then let it be known that you saw it here first. :-)
