Abstract
A solution is proposed for monitoring usage of bundles in the OSGi environment. For this purpose, an event notification interface of the OSGi environment is exploited. Particularly, each event relating to a change of state of a bundle (such as its addition, removal, starting and stopping) is detected by an auxiliary bundle—which previously subscribed to the event notification interface. The auxiliary bundle can then forward the detected events to a licensing agent, which identifies the bundle by means of a software catalog. In this way, the desired result is achieved without requiring any instrumentation of the bundles to be monitored.
