Architectural Changes in CQ 5.5, AEM 5.6 and AEM 5.6.1

Hi All,

The link http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/deploying/upgrading.html has few details under the paragraph "Architectural Changes in CQ 5.5, AEM 5.6 and AEM 5.6.1".

Couple of things were not clear. They are as below :

1] "With CQ 5.5 and AEM, the OSGi container is positioned at the root and the OSGi HTTP service, backed by Sling acting as the sole request handling end point. The CRX content repository is now just another OSGi service, alongside the various services that comprise the rest of the AEM unctionality".

a] Is OSGI container the same as CQSE?

b] What exactly does OSGI HTTP service do?

Hi,

a) no, the CQSE is the servlet engine, which is just a service running inside the OSGI container.

b) regarding this topic please see [1], and follow the reference to the OSGI specification (chapter 102 of the OSGI compendium).

kind regards,
Jörg
