8. Object Models as OSGi Services • All touch points where Coherence needs to be aware of a data object can be intercepted and delegated to OSGi services. • Cache configurations can be provided to Coherence via an OSGi service.
10. POF Evolvable and code releases • POF supports an “Evolvable” model for converting objects between old and new versions both ways without data loss. • Coherence “rolling upgrade” may take considerable time for a large grid • Serialisation via OSGi allows upgrade in- place with no node restarts.
