Holger Hoffstätte commented on DBCP-363:
----------------------------------------
The whole purpose of OSGi is to *prevent* the kind of unfettered access and
more or less random class wiring established by DynamicImport; it's a bad
practice that should die out. Instead of letting dbcp blindly create instances
the right thing to do would be use proper OSGi lookup of a DataSource through
an OSGi-aware factory.
> dbcp bundle should use DynamicImport

> Key: DBCP-363
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DBCP-363
> Project: Commons Dbcp
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.3, 1.4
> Reporter: Felix Mayerhuber
>
> The bundle provided in the maven central of the commons.dbcp doesn't have a
> DynamicImport defined. This resolves in following error:
> If you want to use a BasicDataSource class as dataSource and the class is
> provided by the osgi environment (equinox, ...) the dataSource is not able to
> be created due to a ClassNotFoundException. If the bundle would have set
> DynamicImport it works. (I had to change from your bundle to the commons.dbcp
> bundle provided by servicemix, because there the DynamicImport is set)
