<title>OSGi</title>
<abstract>
<para>
The Open Services Gateway initiative (OSGi) specification describes a dynamic, modularized system. "Bundles"
(components) can be installed, activated, deactivated, and uninstalled during runtime, without requiring
a system restart. OSGi frameworks manage bundles' dependencies, packages, and classes. The framework
is also in charge of ClassLoading, managing visibility of packages between bundles. Further, service
registry and discovery is provided through a "whiteboard" pattern.
</para>
<para>
OSGi environments present numerous, unique challenges. Most notably, the dynamic nature of available
bundles during runtime can require significant architectural considerations. Also,
architectures must allow the OSGi-specific ClassLoading and service registration/discovery.

<title>OSGi Specification and Environment</title>
<para>
Hibernate targets the OSGi 4.3 spec or later. It was necessary to start with 4.3, over 4.2, due to our
dependency on OSGi's <literal>BundleWiring</literal> for entity/mapping scanning.
</para>
<para>
Hibernate supports three types of configurations within OSGi.

<title>hibernate-osgi</title>
<para>
Rather than embed OSGi capabilities into hibernate-core, hibernate-entitymanager, and sub-modules,
hibernate-osgi was created. It's purposefully separated, isolating all OSGi dependencies. It provides an
OSGi-specific ClassLoader (aggregates the container's CL with core and entitymanager CLs), JPA persistence
provider, SF/EMF bootstrapping, entities/mappings scanner, and service management.
</para>

<title>Container-Managed JPA</title>
<para>
The Enterprise OSGi specification includes container-managed JPA. The container is responsible for
discovering persistence units and creating the <literal>EntityManagerFactory</literal> (one EMF per PU).
It uses the JPA provider (hibernate-osgi) that has registered itself with the OSGi
<literal>PersistenceProvider</literal> service.

<title>JPA 2.1</title>
<para>
No Enterprise OSGi JPA container currently supports JPA 2.1 (the spec is not yet released). For
testing, the managed-jpa example makes use of
<link xl:href="https://github.com/brmeyer/aries/tree/jpa21">Brett's fork of Aries</link>. To work
with Hibernate 4.3, clone the fork and build Aries JPA.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>DataSource</title>
<para>
Typical Enterprise OSGi JPA usage includes a DataSource installed in the container. The client
bundle's <literal>persistence.xml</literal> uses the DataSource through JNDI. For an example,
see the QuickStart's DataSource:
<link xl:href="https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/blob/master/documentation/src/main/docbook/quickstart/tutorials/osgi/datasource-h2.xml">datasource-h2.xml</link>
The DataSource is then called out in
<link xl:href="https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/blob/master/documentation/src/main/docbook/quickstart/tutorials/osgi/managed-jpa/src/main/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml">

<title>Obtaining an EntityManger</title>
<para>
The easiest, and most supported, method of obtaining an <literal>EntityManager</literal> utilizes OSGi's
<literal>blueprint.xml</literal>. The container takes the name of your persistence unit, then injects
an <literal>EntityManager</literal> instance into your given bean attribute. See the
<literal>dpService</literal> bean in the managed-jpa QuickStart's

Hibernate also supports the use of JPA through hibernate-entitymanager, unmanaged by the OSGi
container. The client bundle is responsible for managing the EntityManagerFactory and EntityManagers.

<title>Optional Modules</title>
<para>
The <link xl:href="https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/blob/master/documentation/src/main/docbook/quickstart/tutorials/osgi/unmanaged-native">unmanaged-native</link>
QuickStart project demonstrates the use of optional Hibernate modules. Each module adds additional
dependency bundles that must first be activated
(see <link xl:href="https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/blob/master/documentation/src/main/docbook/quickstart/tutorials/osgi/unmanaged-native/features.xml">features.xml</link>).
As of ORM 4.2, Envers is fully supported. Support for C3P0, Proxool, EhCache, and Infinispan were added in
4.3, however none of their 3rd party libraries currently work in OSGi (lots of ClassLoader problems, etc.).
We're tracking the issues in JIRA.

<section>
<title>Extension Points</title>
<para>
Multiple contracts exist to allow applications to integrate with and extend Hibernate capabilities. Most
apps utilize JDK services to provide their implementations. hibernate-osgi supports the same
extensions through OSGi services. Implement and register them in any of the three configurations.
hibernate-osgi will discover and integrate them during EMF/SF bootstrapping. Supported extension points
are as follows. The specified interface should be used during service registration.
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<literal>org.hibernate.integrator.spi.Integrator</literal> (as of 4.2)
</listitem>
<listitem>
<literal>org.hibernate.boot.registry.selector.StrategyRegistrationProvider</literal> (as of 4.3)
</listitem>
<listitem>
<literal>org.hibernate.metamodel.spi.TypeContributor</literal> (as of 4.3)
</listitem>
<listitem>
JTA's <literal>javax.transaction.TransactionManager</literal> and
<literal>javax.transaction.UserTransaction</literal> (as of 4.2), however these are typically
provided by the OSGi container.
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>
The easiest way to register extension point implementations is through a <literal>blueprint.xml</literal>
file. Add <literal>OSGI-INF/blueprint/blueprint.xml</literal> to your classpath. Envers' blueprint
is a great example:
</para>
<example>
<title>Example extension point registrations in blueprint.xml</title>
<programlisting role="XML"><xi:include href="extras/extension_point_blueprint.xml" parse="text"/></programlisting>
</example>
<para>
Extension points can also be registered programmatically with
<literal>BundleContext#registerService</literal>, typically within your
<literal>BundleActivator#start</literal>.
</para>

<section>
<title>Caveats</title>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Technically, multiple persistence units are supported by Enterprise OSGi JPA and unmanaged
Hibernate JPA use. However, we cannot currently support this in OSGi. In Hibernate 4, only one
instance of the OSGi-specific ClassLoader is used per Hibernate bundle, mainly due to heavy use of
static TCCL utilities. We hope to support one OSGi ClassLoader per persistence unit in
Hibernate 5.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Scanning is supported to find non-explicitly listed entities and mappings. However, they MUST be
in the same bundle as your persistence unit (fairly typical anyway). Our OSGi ClassLoader only
considers the "requesting bundle" (hence the requirement on using services to create EMF/SF),
rather than attempting to scan all available bundles. This is primarily for versioning
considerations, collision protections, etc.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Currently, Hibernate OSGi is primarily tested using Apache Karaf and Apache Aries JPA. Additional
testing is needed with Equinox, Gemini, and other container providers.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Hibernate ORM has many dependencies that do not currently provide OSGi manifests.
The QuickStart tutorials make heavy use of 3rd party bundles (SpringSource, ServiceMix) or the
<literal>wrap:...</literal> operator.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
As previously mentioned, bundle activation is currently order specific. See the QuickStart
tutorials' <literal>features.xml</literal> for example sequences.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The environment should be considered STATIC. Hibernate currently does not support the ability
to dynamically add and remove client bundles during runtime. Doing so is typically
catastrophic. We hope to better support at least partially-dynamic environments in
Hibernate 5.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
No Enterprise OSGi JPA container currently supports JPA 2.1 (the spec is not yet released). For
testing, the managed-jpa example makes use of
<link xl:href="https://github.com/brmeyer/aries/tree/jpa21">Brett's fork of Aries</link>. To work
with Hibernate 4.3, clone the fork and build Aries JPA.
