Re: featuresBoot & .kar files

2018-11-06 Thread Jesse White
Here's the work around I came up with so far: We add a new feature called the 'karaf-extender' to the featuresBoot. When started, the extender will load all of the '*.boot' files found in 'etc/featuresBoot.d/'. These files are expected to contain lines with feature references like: foo

Indeed, it's not possible right now using a single kar. I would do using several kar or directly using features. Where would you define the list of installed features for a given kar (as it's specific to a kar) ? Regards JB On 07/11/2018 06:14, Jesse White wrote: > Agreed, using the MANIFEST

Agreed, using the MANIFEST won't get us much further. We already have a custom Karaf distribution and are looking to provide extensions (i.e. plugins) as .kar files which be added to existing installs. Some of these .kar files will contain many features, and we're looking for a means to control

Hi, In that case, kar doesn't support it for now. I can create a Jira and extend the MANIFEST to have a list of startup feature but I'm afraid we will end with what we already have with features. Why not using directly the features XML ? A KAR is basically a Maven repository packaged as a zip

Thanks for the reply JB. We'd like to control which features are installed outside of the features XML. The reason for this is that there are many features available, but we want to give the user control on which ones to install. In our case, there are just too many possible permutations to

All; We're interested in leveraging .kar files to help package plugins and extend our platform but we've run into a snag. If a .kar file contains many features and we want to let the user control which feature(s) to install, is there a way to have these features installed automatically on a

Hi JB, I'd prefer the ability to use SCR and just supply a StringEncryptor service if I could. I'll use blueprint, tried it actually but didn't get it to work. Being able to use SCR would probably be optimal though. I installed the jasypt-encryption feature and tried it with the encrypted pwd
