Advanced topics

In the first part of the topic we looked into the core OSG i framework specifi-

cation and explained its most important features and capabilities. In the second
part of the topic, we turned to the pragmatic issues of developing OSG i-based
applications. In this third and final part of the topic, we'll explore a variety of
advanced topics. To help you simplify OSG i development, we'll introduce OSG i-
based component frameworks. These component frameworks should be inter-
esting for all OSG i developers. We'll also look into launching and embedding
the OSG i framework, enabling security in OSG i-based applications, and develop-
ing web and distributed applications in OSG i. After completing this final part of
the topic, you should have a good idea of all the possibilities that OSG i technol-
ogy provides.
