[link] Provisioning bundles to OSGi Applications from Internal bundle repository in WebSphere AS V8

In the previous articles about the OSGi Application support in IBM WebSphere Application Server V8 we tend to deploy Enterprise Bundle Archives (EBA) with the necessary OSGi bundles - a service interface bundle, a service bundle and a web application bundle. You may read the articles before reading this one as they influenced my understanding of the OSGi Application support and so could yours.

• Developing OSGi applications with Java EE 6 - Web Application Bundles in IBM WebSphere Application Server V8
• Provisioning new bundle versions to OSGi Applications - WABs in WebSphere Application Server V8

In this article we will develop a web application that uses a OSGi service and they'll be deployed separately. One OSGi bundle will provide a interface the other constituents will use. It's called a service interface bundle. The other bundle - a service bundle - offers an implementation of the Dictionary service while the last bundle - a web application bundle - will be the Dictionary service's client and use the service to display the translation of a given word (in this example the only word in the dictionary is "hello"). The constituents will all be deployed separately and hence be managed as such.
