Useful Spring Extensions
Spring Modules is a java.net project that provides a home for extensions to the Spring Framework, almost like a Spring plugin repository. This session will provide an overview of the extensions, highlight the coolest ones and show you how you can get started with them in your applications."Spring Dynamic Modules Update
Spring Dynamic Modules (or Spring-OSGi) project makes it easy to buildSpring applications that run inside an OSGi environment. This allows the
application to provide better separation of modules, the ability to
dynamically add, remove and update modules in a running system as well
as deployment of multiple versions simultaneously.

Lessons Learned Modularizing Java Applications with OSGi
Modularity, versioning and dynamics make OSGi an ideal candidate fordeploying and running Java applications, whether small or large.
However, nothing comes for free and resource and, like in any other
environment, there are "do"s and "don't"s.
In this session, we'll start by looking at OSGi (plus HK2 and JAM while
we're at it) and then focus on some of challenges that one might
encounter when developing an enterprise application in OSGi and how they
can be addressed, using the lessons learned in Spring Dynamic Modules
project and SpringSource Application Platform.
