Glassfish as an OSGi Container

Question

I'm evaluating OSGi containers and the subject came up of using Glassfish to contain my OSGi application components. My question is: Is Glassfish good for this? Does anybody have any experience using it in this way?

Background: - The application is not a Java EE application, it's a Spring application. - I've been evaluating Felix + Tomcat. - I've never used Glassfish but it has some features that our operations people are interested in.

Thanks!

GlassFish is IMO a serious candidate and I would definitely look at it. Some resources:

• GlassFish/OSGi Dashboard
• GlassFish and OSGi (and Sahoo) at EclipseCon 2010
• GlassFish v3, OSGi Equinox Felix by Jerome Dochez and Ludovic Champenois
