The SpringSource dm Server(tm) is a completely modular, OSGi-based Java server designed to run enterprise Java applications and Spring-powered applications with a new degree of flexibility and reliability. The SpringSource dm Server is based on the SpringSource Dynamic Module Kernel(tm) (dm Kernel). The dm Kernel provides a module-based backbone for the server, which also harnesses the power of Spring, Apache Tomcat, and OSGi-based technologies.

Pro SpringSource dm Server(tm) is the first book available for learning how to develop and deploy modular applications to run on the SpringSource dm Server 2.0 deployment platform.

• This book covers everything you need, from basic OSGi concepts to developing and deploying OSGi-based applications on the SpringSource dm Server.
• This book demonstrates how to migrate an existing web application from a standard WAR to a shared libraries WAR, a shared services WAR, and finally a web module.
• The topics in this book are introduced by complete and real-world examples that you can follow step by step. Instead of abstract descriptions on complex concepts, you will find live examples in this book.
