"Apache Felix makes the system pluggable and configurable"
5/5
What do you like best about Apache Felix?

We have been using Apache Felix in AEM where Felix helps us to make our system modular, plug and unplug the feature at runtime, and set properties or configurations using the Apache Felix console. Using SCR or OSGi annotations we can register our custom implementation to Felix and Felix provides the lifecycle to our custom bundles and services. The console provided by Felix has an easy navigation system and clean UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Felix?

"Apache Felix - Web management Console"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Apache Felix?

Apache Felix is an open source implementation of the OSGi Core Release 6 framework specification.

Apache Felix is an OSGi container. It allows to seamlessly start, stop, and replace components of a web application (jar files, in a sense), while the web server is running. That means it allows you to change the application without having to restart the server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Felix?

Too much burden on Developer.

OSGi adds another complexity to building applications. Furthermore, the promise of bundles working cross-container doesn’t always work, making re-use more painful too. Every developer-focused blog around-OSGi tends to be complex and steeped with technical detail that demonstrates that OSGi just isn’t ready for the developer yet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
