At last year's Spring Experience conference, Adrian Colyer, Chief Technology Officer at Interface21, provided an excellent overview of OSGi, the "Dynamic Module System for Java", and how Spring is making it easier for application developers to take advantage of. Watch Adrian's session here:

At the upcoming Spring Experience 2007, we will explore, a year later, concrete applications of OSGi on the server-side.  Applied OSGi sessions will include:

• How to use OSGi to update modules of a web application safely at runtime without ever having to restart your web container

• How Oracle is using Spring and OSGi to build out its next-generation middleware suite

• A Spring OSGi project update highlighting who in the industry, including Spring itself, is using Spring OSGi to improve the modularity of their production systems
