Hi:
Does anyone know about an OSGi friendly Shopping Cart or secure
payment processing component?
I have not found any suitable examples or proposals on that area.

Is anyone working on a similar project?

Hi Maria,

I would recommend finding an existing Java-based component and just
seeing if it will work in your environment. In general I'd like to
push back against the idea that we need "OSGi compliant" versions of
everything...

Unfortunately I don't actually know any existing Java-based Shoppings
Carts or payment processors. There is Apache OFBiz but I have no idea
if it will do what you want.

By the way, was there a particular reason for sending this to the
Vaadin-OSGi list? You might have better luck emailing a more generic
list.

Regards,
Neil

Hi Neil,

Many thanks for the tip.
I'll post my query into the general group.

Hmm, though I think you want your code to be as POJO as humanly
possible I want my components to be OSGi. I think it would be
fantastic if there was a bundle providing me with a (DS) component
that could handle payments. I hope to live to see the day that I can
just buy such components from a repository ... and millions others.

Kind regards,

Peter Kriens

Oh, Peter thanks for that.
I thought that Apache OFBiz is nice but we need highly modular
components to mix and match functionality.
Particularly because OSGi is liked and followed by people in the
manufacturing businesses, logistics, ecc.

I guess I hope to live to see that day too.

Regards,
Maria

So do not ask what the component market can do for you but ask
yourself what you can do for the component market! :-)

Kind regards,
