Spring-DM is a relatively new addition to the Spring portfolio that builds upon the OSGi specification, offering Spring-style dependency injection to OSGi-based components. Using Spring-DM and OSGi, it is possible to assemble applications from fine-grained modules (known as bundles) that can be developed, deployed, and updated independent of each other. This combination of Spring and OSGi offers developers a refreshing lightweight component framework that will dramatically change the enterprise Java landscape (as evidenced by the recent announcement of the SpringSource Application Platform).
