Non UI Plugins possible?

Hi there!

I read this article:

http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/Creating_an_XPages_Library

My question is now, is it possible to develop a plugin without a gui (control) ?

My idea is to share for example a logging library, and other utilities, via an xpage library.

This utilites, should be available in xpages an ssjs.

Is this possible alternative to sharing jars on the server?

Thanks Mario

Yes.

Yes, OSGi plugins can be used to contribute all sorts of useful things... managed beans, phase listeners, custom validators and converters, and so on. The primary purpose of these plugins is to define custom UI components, but basically anything that can be defined in xsp-config or faces-config that IBM has implemented can be contributed via OSGi.
