Converter
and Serialization Service

Object Conversion
 Wouldn’t you like to convert anything to everything?
 Peter Kriens’ work in Bnd started it
 Convert
 Scalars, Collections, Arrays
 Interfaces, maps, DTOs, JavaBeans, Annotations
 Need predictable behaviour – as little implementation freedom as possible
 Can be customized
RFC 215 – Implementation in Apache Felix (/converter)
6

Sample conversions
 Examples:
Converter c = new StandardConverter();
// Convert scalars
int i = c.convert("123").to(int.class);
UUID id = c.convert("067e6162-3b6f-4ae2-a171-2470b63dff00").to(UUID.class);
List<String> ls = Arrays.asList("978", "142", "-99");
short[] la = c.convert(ls).to(short[].class);
7

Convert configuration data into typed information with defaults
Map<String, String> myMap = new HashMap<>();
myMap.put("refresh", "750");
myMap.put("other", "hello");
// Convert map structures
@interface MyAnnotation {
int refresh() default 500;
String temp() default "/tmp";
}
MyAnnotation myAnn = converter.convert(someMap).to(MyAnnotation.class)
int refresh = myAnn.refresh(); // 750
Strine temp = myAnn.temp(); // "/tmp"
8

Customize your converter
The converter service itself always behaves the same
 Need customizations? Create a new converter: ConverterBuilder
 Change default behaviour of array to scalar conversion
 Convert char[] to String via adapter
// Default behaviour
String s = converter.convert(new char[] {‘h’, ‘i’}).to(String.class); // s = “h”
Converter c = converter.newConverterBuilder()
.rule(char[].class, String.class, MyCnv::caToString, MyCnv::stringToCA)
.build();
String s2 = c.convert(new char[] {‘h’, ‘i’}).to(String.class); // ss=“hi”
9

Serialization service
 Take an object, turn it into a file/stream, and back
 with the help of the converter
 YAML, JSON, or your own format
 Serializations can be customized with the converter
10

Example JSON Serializer
@Reference(target="(osgi.mimetype=application/json)")
Serializer jsonSerializer;
public void someMethod() {
Map m = … some map …;
String s = jsonSerializer.serialize(m).toString();
MyBean someBean = … some Java Bean …;
String s2 = jsonSerializer.serialize(someBean).toString();
// and deserialize back
MyBean recreated = jsonSerializer.deserialize(MyBean.class).from(s2);

{"prop1": "val1",
"prop2": 42,
"nested":
{"really": true}
}

Config Admin and Configurator

OSGi Configurations
 Configuration Admin Improvements
 Alias for factory configurations
 Optimized change handling
 Revived ConfigurationPlugin

Reusable Configuration Format I
configurations:
- my.special.component:
some_prop: 42
and_another: "some string"
- and.a.factory.cmp#foo
...
- and.a.factory.cmp#bar
...
17

Reusable Configuration Format II
configurations:
- my.special.component:
some_prop: 42
and_another: "some string"
:configurator:environments:
- dev
- test
18

OSGi Configurator
 Configurations as bundle resources
 Environment support
 Binaries
 State handling and ranking
19

Cluster Information
previously known as Cloud Ecosystems

Cluster Information
OSGi frameworks running in a distributed environment
 Cloud
 IoT
 <buzzword xyz in the future>
Many frameworks
 New ones appearing
 … and disappearing
 Other entities too, like databases
21

Cluster Information
Discovery of OSGi frameworks in a distributed environment
 Find out what is available
 get notifications of changes
 Provision your application within the given resources
 Also: non-OSGi frameworks (e.g. Database)
 Monitor your application
 Make changes if needed
RFC 183 – Implementation in Eclipse Concierge
22

Cluster Information
FrameworkNodeStatus service provides metadata
 Java version
 OSGi version
 OS version
 IP address
 Physical location (country, ISO 3166)
 Metrics
 tags / other / custom
 Provisioning API (install/start/stop/uninstall bundles etc…)
23

Declarative Service updates

Declarative Service Updates
 Field Injection of activation objects
 Constructor injection
 Nicer property handling
25

Activation Objects
26
@Component
public class MyComponent {
public @interface Config {
int easy_max() default 10;
int medium_max() default 50;
int hard_max() default 100;
}
@Activate
private BundleContext bundleContext;
@Activate
private Config config;

Constructor Injection
27
@Component
public class MyComponent {
@Activate
public MyComponent(
BundleContext bundleContext,
@Reference EventAdmin eventAdmin,
Config config,
@Reference List<Receivers> receivers) {

Component Properties pre R7
28
@Component(service = ServletContextHelper.class,
property = {
HttpWhiteboardConstants.HTTP_WHITEBOARD_CONTEXT_NAME + "=" + AppServletContext.NAME,
HttpWhiteboardConstants.HTTP_WHITEBOARD_CONTEXT_PATH + "=/guessinggame"
}
)
public class AppServletContext extends ServletContextHelper {

Custom Annotations
29
@ComponentPropertyType
public @interface ServletContext {
String osgi_http_whiteboard_context_name();
String osgi_http_whiteboard_context_path();
}
@Component(service = ServletContextHelper.class)
@ServletContext(
osgi_http_whiteboard_context_name = AppServletContext.NAME,
osgi_http_whiteboard_context_path = "/guessinggame“
)
public class AppServletContext extends ServletContextHelper {

Push Streams

Push Streams
Like Java 8 streams, but data is pushed
For event-based data, which may or may not be infinite
 Async processing and buffering
 Supports back pressure
 Mapping, filtering, flat-mapping
 Coalescing and windowing
 Merging and splitting
Example:
 Humidity reader/processor stream
 sends an alarm when over 90%
RFC 216 – Implementation will be in Apache Aries
31

Asynchronous Push Streams example
PushStreamProvider psp = new PushStreamProvider();
try (SimplePushEventSource<Long> ses = psp.createSimpleEventSource(Long.class)) {
ses.connectPromise().then(p -> {
long counter = 0;
while (counter < Long.MAX_VALUE && ses.isConnected()) {
ses.publish(++counter);
Thread.sleep(100);
System.out.println("Published: " + counter);
}
return null;
});
psp.createStream(ses).
filter(l -> l % 2L == 0).
forEach(f -> System.out.println("Consumed even: " + f));
32

Additional OSGi R7 work

And much more...
 Service Decorations
 Http Whiteboard Update
