Spring and OSGi’s features are a natural fit; they are orthogonal to each other: OSGi is about packaging, deployment, and versioning issues, while Spring is about providing the necessary foundation to wire up Java classes in their most basic form using dependency injection and aspect orientation to fulfill an application’s purpose.
Pro Spring Dynamic Modules for OSGi™ Service Platforms by Daniel Rubio is the first book to cover OSGi as practically implemented by the world’s most popular, agile, and open source enterprise Java framework, Spring.
• Author Daniel Rubio covers the ease at which OSGi is used with the Spring Framework in development, packaging, versioning, and deployment.
• Enterprises are trusting Spring more and more, and this book leverages OSGi in a way that can “complete” the use of Spring in the enterprise, as OSGi is already being trusted and adopted by IBM, BEA, and others.
• The text discusses how Spring OSGi makes your Spring applications trusted SOA applications.

What you’ll learn
• Understand the fundamentals of OSGi and Spring, and combine the two.
• Take your Spring applications and bundles, and incorporate OSGi for production–ready packaging, versioning practices, and deployment.
• Create production–ready Spring Beans by packaging and versioning, and then deploy them.
• Develop data access methods and means for your Spring OSGi projects.
• Build and use GUIs for Spring OSGi.
• Test, scale, and optimize your Spring OSGi applications for deployment and performance.

Who is this book for?
This book is for Java developers using the Spring Framework who are looking to take advantage of OSGi features, and Java developers in general looking to explore OSGi’s role on server–side development.

This volume offers a state-of-the-art picture of work undertaken in the field of computer-aided corpus linguistics. While the focus is on English, central insights can be generalised to other languages, as well. As a work intended to mark the Silver Jubilee of ICAME, the International Computer Archive of Modern and Medieval English, the book combines surveys of the discipline by some of its major pioneers, including founders of ICAME itself, with cutting-edge work by younger scholars. It is divided into three sections: Overviewing years of corpus linguistic studies, Descriptive studies in English syntax and semantics , and Second Language Acquisition, parallel corpora and specialist corpora . The book bears witness to the impressive advances that have characterised the development of corpus linguistics over the past few decades from terminological issues to practical applications, from theoretical and descriptive research to applied approaches, from monolingual to multilingual and specialist corpora, from corpus design to corpus exploitation tools. Roberta Facchinetti is Professor of English at the University of Verona, Italy. Her research field and publications are mainly concerned with language description textual analysis and pragmatics.
