Java OSGi Centralized Network Configuration
I am looking to create an application based on an OSGi model. One of the elements of this will be network access (http and obr first).
I'm looking for a way to centralize network configuration (proxying, encryption, etc.), perhaps for a single package that the rest of the application can access.
Has anyone done this / got ideas?
thank

In this case, one possibility would be to create an OSGi service or set of services (possibly encapsulated in a separate package) that would provide all the necessary methods of accessing the network. The services themselves can be configured via the Configuration Admin Service , which is part of the OSGi Service Compendium.
Some of the methods provided by the service (s) can actually be factory methods for creating pre-configured network access objects like java.net. URLConnection or java.net.Socket . Example:
public interface NetworkService {
public Socket createSocket();
}
class NetworkServiceImpl implements NetworkService {
static final Proxy DEFAULT_PROXY = new Proxy(...);
public Socket createSocket() {
Socket s = new Socket(DEFAULT_PROXY);
s.setReceiveBufferSize(4096);
return s;
}
}
