  • Java dynamic SPI registrations

    I'm working in a spring boot based environment using a setup similar to pf4j where additional JARs can be loaded at will during runtime. Each plugin may implement a set of interfaces which are then dynamically registered in the Applications IoC. The important part is: Each jar is loaded within a separate ClassLoader.
  • PF4J and Clojure
    1 project | /r/Clojure | 10 Apr 2021
    Hi everyone! Recently I've needed to figure out how PF4J library can be used from Clojure, and it was not very straightforward in some parts. There were almost no information on using PF4J from Clojure, so I've wrote this post, explaining what I've did to make things work by creating example plugin, as per PF4J demo application. Hope it will be useful for someone!
