-----------------------------------------------------------------

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.

>             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)
