- Common pitfalls
- I start my bundle but nothing happens
- I update my bundle, but I can't see any change
- I refresh my OBR but the bundles don't get updated
- The artifact JAR I need doesn't have OSGi entries in its manifest
- I get a "No impl service available" error with any shell command
- I get a "No LogReaderService available" error with the log command
- I can't add/connect to an OBR
- I'm getting a "Jsp support is not enabled" error message
- My JSP can't find a class that it needs

- C. Pop Quiz Answers
This section gathers a few additional topics that are interesting to look at in the context of OSGi development:
- For developing more advanced web applications, consider looking into the development of Google Web-Toolkit (GWT) applications on an OSGi service platform. With the knowledge base you've picked up here, you should be able to move onto that with little trouble.
- Universal plug-and-play (UPnP) is part of the OSGi specification base. UPnP specification-compliant services can interact with UPnP devices, control them, and potentially download and manage code on remote systems. Applications can range from interaction with a printer or TV to acquisition of images from a webcam, controlling lights, shades or heating in the home.
- If you're interested in mobile development, you can also check out the work that's been done on embedding the Apache Felix framework on Google Android. Bundles you develop on Felix can be transformed for the Android using a set of tools in a relatively straightforward manner (check http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-framework-and-google-android.html).
All that we have seen is a very short list of the world of opportunities that lay before you.
