David, Thanks a million, this looks VERY useful.
I've added a link to your mail at the bottom of this page: "OSGi integration" http://wiki.restlet.org/developers/172-restlet/124-restlet.html Would you mind if we directly copy the content of your mail on this page? If you have a wiki account you could even do it yourself if you prefer. Let me know!

Here is what I consider to be a straightforward, light-weight way of setting up an equinox osgi container: 1) You will need the eclipse equinox osgi jar file (from some recent version of eclipse, in the plugins folder, in this case 3.5M5): org.eclipse.osgi_3.5.0.v20090127-1630.jar 2) Download the FileInstall bundle by Peter Kriens, which will monitor a directory and automatically install bundles it finds there. (for a longer description you can see http://www.aqute.biz/Code/FileInstall ) http://www.aqute.biz/repo/biz/aQute/fileinstall/1.3.4/fileinstall-1.3.4.jar 3) you then create the following directory structure (Note substitute your actual equinox bundle version for "3.X.X"): my_equinox/ org.eclipse.osgi_3.X.X.jar fileinstall-1.3.4.jar load/ configuration/ config.ini "load/" is an empty dir, where you will later put the bundles you wish to test. "config.ini" should be a text file with the following lines in it (but not indented): osgi.bundles=fileinstall-1.3.4....@start eclipse.ignoreApp=true 3) run equinox from the command line (make sure to "cd" to the "my_equinox" directory first): java -jar org.eclipse.osgi_3.X.X.jar -console (or) java -jar org.eclipse.osgi_3.X.X.jar -console 7777 & This will start up equinox with a command-line console. if you run the first version above, you will enter the console directly. This can be inconvenient if you have other things to do on the command line. Using the 2nd version will launch equinox in a new process and tell it to listen on port 7777 for telnet connections. To connect to the running osgi console, you then type: telnet locahost 7777 4) type "help" in the osgi console for a list of commands. To quickly check the status of all installed bundles, type (where "osgi>" is the osgi command prompt): osgi> ss "ss" stands for "short status", and in this case you should see something like: id State Bundle 0 ACTIVE org.eclipse.osgi_3.X.X 1 ACTIVE biz.aQute.fileinstall_1.3.4 5) copy any bundles you want to install to the "load/" directory. The FileInstall bundle will automatically attempt to load and start these bundles. If you add in the bundles in random order, you may see some temporary error messages complaining about missing dependencies, but these should resolve themselves as the rest of your bundles load. you may again type "ss" in the osgi console to see the status of the bundles. In general, you can use the Run Configurations dialog in eclipse to make sure you have a compatible set of bundles satisfying all their mandatory dependencies, and then copy that set into the /load directory. Let me know if you have any problems with this setup. -Dave Fogel ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=13445 44 ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=1416079
