Thanks. Matthew. Hi,

What's the latest version of RFC and what does it deal with? Thanks. Matthew.

The SpringSource implementation embeds Tomcat, but it would not surprise me to see other implementations based on Jetty being implemented elsewhere too. The RFC 66 project is hosted in SpringSource repos alongside all of our other OSGi-related projects, and there are no current plans to move any of these to Eclipse. Regards, Adrian. @petev

Is this going to be usable standalone and also with Jetty? Any plans to contribute it later to Equinox Runtime Project? 10x & greetings! Hi, looks very good!

Web modules will be removed in 2.0 M3 to give users plenty of time to adjust. I just finished writing the migration guide yesterday.

As for modular web apps and UI composition – we're starting work on that in our next sprint which starts on Monday.

Personalities are definitely staying. We see the Web Container being one of the personalities exhibited by dm Server and to support this we are using the Web Container RI.

I only have a few more questions on time-lines. Adrian and Costin mention Spring-DM 2.0 as a target for leveraging RFC 66 (and deprecating web support as it currently stands in Spring-DM) What about dm Server, RFC 66 and the deprecation of web modules? Will this occur post-dm Server 2.0 final release ? or will it be present in dm Server 2.0 final release? Finally, will there be something on the UI composition front (e.g shared session state between fragments, JSF) to look at in dm Server 2.0 ? Or is this something beyond dm Server 2.0 final release? Thanks for all the answers.

In fact, I would expect existing web applications to migrate to RFC 66 with minimal (if any) updates. As for the roadmap the web support will be deprecated in the upcoming 2.0 and then removed in the next major version. We'll make sure to properly document the transition from one scenario to the other as well as migrate the samples included in the distribution.

Now that web support in OSGi has its own fledgling spec (RFC 66) and its own project, the existing support in Spring DM will be deprecated in favour of integration with the RFC 66 web extender.
