Jboss4 inside OSGI

Is it possible to run Jboss 4.2.3 as a bundle inside OSGI container? What would be the challenges associated with it?

For those who cares, I am looking at running dcm4chee inside OSGI.

I logged the bug specifically for the dcm4che (note 1 e) toolkits, not the dcm4chee war. I would suggest logging a new issue for the dcm4chee assembly. However, making the dcm4che toolkit components osgi bundles would likely be a required step in the direction of getting dcm4chee to run in an osgi container.

While not impossible it would be incredibly hard, a simpler alternative would be to embed OSGi inside JBoss, see:

http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-framework-launching-and-embedding.html and Programmatically Start OSGi (Equinox)? and http://njbartlett.name/2011/03/07/embedding-osgi.html

http://www.dcm4che.org/jira/browse/DCM-308 Looks like they're adding support to make the Jars valid bundles - couldn't you just work out the dependencies and deploy these to an OSGi framework? OSGi has support for JMX and JNDI.

Unless there are huge dependencies on JBoss' internals, I'd suggest the second option, but beware of Class.forName usage and other non-osgi-friendly code.
