I think what you want to do is achievable if you have some custom code to search through all the bundles imported and get the springA.xml and add it to your application context.
I see that you are using Spring-DM, so in that case, if you are relying on the extender, why not expose your bundle A beans as services and then reference them from bundle B,C,D, etc. On Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 5:37 AM, Daniele Dellafiore <[email protected]>wrote: > On Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 2:23 PM, Daniele Dellafiore > <[email protected]>wrote: > > > Hi have bundle A with a springA.xml file that depends on beans from > bundle > > B springB.xml > > I've added a springA-osgi.xml with declared services and on bundle A > > activation everything works and I have > > > > > > | INFO | tenderThread-114 | OsgiServiceFactoryBean | > > r.support.OsgiServiceFactoryBean 301 | 42 - > org.springframework.osgi.core - > > 1.2.0 | Publishing service under classes > > [{in.laz.storage.mongo.StorageTemplate}] > > INFO | tenderThread-114 | OsgiServiceFactoryBean | > > r.support.OsgiServiceFactoryBean 301 | 42 - > org.springframework.osgi.core - > > 1.2.0 | Publishing service under classes [{com.mongodb.Mongo}] > > > > both of them (even if I really need to export the first as service, being > > the second injected in the first, anyway. > > > > Then bundleB have a StorageTemplate (first service) autowired into a > bean. > > That does not work: > > "No matching bean of type [in.laz.storage.mongo.StorageTemplate] found > for > > dependency" > > > > even if in springB,xml I import both springA and springA-osgi xml (which > I > > thiink should not be necessary). > > > > Two question here: > > 1.
