Develop and deploy applications using the OSGi-based runtime container, Apache Karaf Overview Understand Apache Karaf's commands and control capabilities Gain familiarity with its provisioning features Explore various application deployments targets experientially In Detail Apache Karaf is more than just an OSGi-based runtime container; it's an ecosystem of open source technologies that makes operating and managing applications easier. Karaf supports hot deployment of OSGi bundles by monitoring jar files inside the [home]/deploy directory. Each time a jar is copied in this folder, it will be installed inside the runtime. You can then update or delete it, and changes will be handled automatically. In addition, Karaf also supports exploded bundles an...
