Hi all,
We are pleased to announce the launch of the OSGi Sandboxing deployment of HTML Plug-ins: https://labs.vmware.com/flings/vsphere-html5-web-client#changelog
The latest HTML Client Fling release 3.5 build 5109609 includes OSGi Sandboxing deployment of HTML Plug-ins. This is a new feature that aims to achieve vSphere HTML Client plug-in isolation by re-using Virgo server’s scoping. It is the foundation for preventing deployment, runtime and future compatibility errors of HTML plug-ins.
The feature aims to be a transparent isolation mechanism that does not incur any additional work on existing HTML plug-ins assuming OSGi Best Practices were followed during plug-in development.
We encourage everyone who has or isdeveloping HTML plug-in for the vSphere HTML Client to deploy and test their plug-in on a HTML Client Fling release 3.5 build 5109609 or later. This will help you validate if you missed any OSGi Best Practices and in case you did to improve your HTML plug-in. Correcting any issues will give your plug-in a competitive advantage and a smoother certification process.
For more details about the OSGi Sandboxing deployment for HTML plug-ins and plug-in requirements, refer to the vSphere HTML Client SDK Fling documentation.
Thanks,
Ina
