All dependencies share a common API which you can implement yourself if you
need a special type of dependency. Whilst not entirely trivial, this allows you
to create your own types of dependencies. This can be useful for various
scenarios where you want to have components that depend on things that are not
services, bundles or configuration.
-An example implementation can be found in one of the many test cases for the
dependency manager: ` CustomDependencyTest `. This implements a dependency that
can be made available and unavailable by manipulating a ` Toggle ` which can be
made available or unavailable. You basically have to implement two interfaces:
` Dependency ` and ` DependencyActivation `. The former contains the bulk of
the methods that you will need to implement and depending on the actual
features you want your dependency to support, you have to implement some or all
of them. The JavaDoc for each method plus the example code should get you
started. The latter contains a couple of life cycle methods to start and stop
tracking your custom dependency.
+An example implementation can be found in the samples available in the source
distribution.
+In the org.apache.felix.dependencymanager.samples module, you can refer to
src/org/apache/felix/dependencymanager/samples/customdep/README file,
+which describes a custom "PathDependency" that tracks files that are added or
removed from /tmp/ directory.
