Odyno DataBus – a distributed databus written in J2SE and OSGi R4 compliant

Odyno DataBus is a J2SE DataBus component, OSGi R4 compliant, for the management of a logical databus. The Odyno DataBus is a subsystem that transfers Java-Object among components inside a computer, or among computers. I have implemented the publish-subscribe pattern with the possibility to filter by types or by aspect of types. Here it is a short list of features supported by the Odyno DataBus:

Odyno DataBus – API : The API of Odyno DataBus library.
Odyno DataBus – Memory : Light and easy implementation of the “OdynoDatabus-API” to be used in projects involving a single JavaVM
Odyno DataBus – Net : Clustered and distributed implementation of OdynoDataBase, for multiple and distributed Java VM.
Odyno DataBus – Tools : Just Sniffer Tool

Example of usage of “Odyno DataBus – Memory”

This example shows how to start Karaf OSGi container and to deploy the implementation of “Odyno Data Bus – Memory”.

Step A

Download karaf

wget http://apache.panu.it/karaf/2.3.0/apache-karaf-2.3.0.tar.gz
tar xvzf apache-karaf-2.3.0.tar.gz 
cd apache-karaf-2.3.0/

Step B

Open the karaf config file named

etc/org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg

Step C

Search the “org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.repositories” key and add the repository of compiled bundles

org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.repositories= \
    [...]
    [...]
    [...], \
https://www.staniscia.net/repository/release/, \
https://www.staniscia.net/repository/snapshot/@snapshots@noreleases

Step D

Run Karaf

./bin/karaf

Step E

Install those bundles with pax url syntax

karaf@root> install -s mvn:net.staniscia.as/odyno-databus-api/0.1.1
karaf@root> install -s mvn:net.staniscia.as/odyno-databus-mem/0.1.1

Step F

That’s all, now you can test it width the extra bundle

karaf@root> install -s mvn:net.staniscia.as/odyno-databus-tools/0.1.1

Example of usage of “Odyno DataBus – Net”

This example starts Karaf OSGi container and deploys the “Odyno Data Bus – Net” implementation. Follow the steps of last example and replace the “Step E” and “Step F” with the following step

Step E

Install those bundles with pax url syntax

karaf@root> install -s mvn:net.staniscia.as/odyno-databus-api/0.1.1
karaf@root> install -s mvn:net.staniscia.as/odyno-databus-net/0.1.1

Step F

Repeat the steps into another PC. When you finished you can test the instances with the extra bundle “Odyno DataBus-tools” for all instances of bus.

So, when you send data in to the bus all instances of Odyno DataBus receive the message and print it on display… That’s all!
