Dynamic Web-Applications with OSGi and RAP

RAP is known as a Web framework for Eclipse applications, able to bring complex RCP UIs into the browser. But its leightweight and powerful Java-only widget toolkit layer is now also available for other types of OSGi-based applications.

In the latest version, RAP provides an OSGi service that allows to configure and start RAP applications programmatically. With this new service, RAP is able to run on any standard OSGi implementation. It is also possible to start different RAP instances in parallel and bind them to selected HTTP services.

In this talk we will give a brief overview of the RWT OSGi integration and show you how to use the new API in your dynamic web applications.
