Hello Tamaya devs,
I am trying to get Tamaya running in my karaf 4.1.1 to read some configurations
of different types (properties, xml) and from different locations (inside
bundles, etc Folder).
I've read that the OSGi support will be improved for version 0.4 and that maybe
some of my problems will be gone but I want to share you some questions and
problems I faced during my first steps:
* the artifact of the karaf features seems to be tamaya-features instead of
tamaya-karaf-features like prompted on the homepage
* the feature.xml for 0.3-incubating seems to be incomplete, it only
contains the geronimo-annotation bundle
* there were some more bundles needed to get all bundles started (like
resolver, resources, injection, events)
Beside that I have problems reading xml files as properties. I found out that
there is a pre-defined PropertiesXmlFormat that can be used so I tried to load
the xml files by
ConfigResources.getResourceResolver().getResources("META-INF/**/*")
and assign the format to each URL with
ConfigurationFormats.createPropertySource({url},ConfigurationFormats.getFormats("xml"))
Maybe there is a better approch doing this...
But I get an error that no ResourceResolver is available. I digged a little bit
in the code and indicated that the DefaultResourceResolver service should be
loaded by the OSGIServiceLoader.
But the OSGIServiceLoader only handle the STARTING and STOPPING event while it
gets only invoked for STARTED and STOPPED events. I noticed somewhere that only
SynchronousBundleListener will get STARTING and STOPPING events so I wonder how
to solve this ServiceLoader problem.
Another thing I noticed: it seems that after installing the tamaya bundles the
property-placeholder in my blueprint.xml using properties from the etc folder
are not working anymore. Do I have to change the properties because of getting
the tamaya Configuration Admin Service now?
But beside that problems I am happy that there might be a solution to handle
the configurations for my karaf projects, so keep up the good work!
Greetings,
Christian Niehues
