Can you please boil this down to a concise test case we can look at? -- BJ Hargrave Senior Technical Staff Member, IBM OSGi Fellow and CTO of the OSGi Alliance [email protected] office: +1 386 848 1781 mobile: +1 386 848 3788 From: Scott Lewis <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 2011/02/21 11:21 Subject: Re: [osgi-dev] Classloader accessibility and ServiceTracker.open(true) Sent by: [email protected] Hi Peter, Although I'm very happy to hear this, I've been running/testing on 3.7M4 version of Equinox and I'm still seeing the problem (i.e. proxy ServiceFactory registered by TM bundle...without dynamic import:*...still doesn't pass compatibility check). Maybe I need to do something else to trigger this new behavior (?)...if so please let me know. Do you (or Guillaume) have a bug number for the ServiceFactory bug? Thanks all for the help with this.

It turns out that a bug requested by Guillaume Nodet relaxed the rules for Service Factory services. If the registrant of the service cannot see the package for any of the service name classes then it is assumed that he Service Factory will do the right thing. So with a Service Factory you should be able to register an appropriate proxy for each bundle, at least in equinox. > > Unfortunately, there seems to be some inconsistency here between the frameworks.

I think we need to define a Class<?> version of this method that we then use for compatibility when possible. This will allow you to register objects from the DP that are compatible with other bundles even though you do not import the service interfaces. I file an errata so this is looked into. >> >> Oh, how I long for the days of OSGi R3 when we did not have multiple versions :-( >> >> Kind regards, >> >> Peter Kriens >> >> >> On 21 feb 2011, at 07:00, Scott Lewis wrote: >> >>> On 2/20/2011 6:14 PM, BJ Hargrave wrote: >>>> <stuff deleted> >>>> >>>> You could use dynamic import package but that has some drawbacks. First you would need to actually load the type(s) to force the framework to establish the wires before you register the service. Second, you could only support one version of the package could be a big limitation. >>> Yes, I see how supporting only one version of a package could be a big limitation. >>> >>>> This is why I previously suggested dynamically creating, installing and starting a bundle which has the proper import package statement. This bundle does not need any classes in it. You just need an "anchor" to use for its class loader to access the types and for its context to register the service. The actual work can be done by your bundle. Make sure to properly uninstall this bundle when no longer necessary. There can be many of these bundles for different service types. >>> Forgive me, but this approach seems kind of clumsy and complex to manage to me...as it could be necessary to create, install, start and manage/uninstall a lot of these dynamic bundles...i.e. one for each distinct imported remote service. >>> >>> Are there any viable approaches other than this? e.g. can the wiring of the RSA (or TopologyManager) bundle be dynamically manipulated...to allow the RSA or TM itself to register the proxy service factory? >>> >>> Thanks, >>> >>> Scott >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> OSGi Developer Mail List >>> [email protected] >>> https://mail.osgi.org/mailman/listinfo/osgi-dev >> >> _______________________________________________ >> OSGi Developer Mail List >> [email protected] >> https://mail.osgi.org/mailman/listinfo/osgi-dev > > _______________________________________________ > OSGi Developer Mail List > [email protected] > https://mail.osgi.org/mailman/listinfo/osgi-dev _______________________________________________ OSGi Developer Mail List [email protected] https://mail.osgi.org/mailman/listinfo/osgi-dev
