Re: Recommanded way to use an XML parser in OSGi ?

Given that we’re now resorting to class loader trickery as a workaround, wouldn’t it actually make more sense to use the specification which solves this properly? The object in question is already a DS component, so requiring a service is about as low effort as possible, and there must be a

Re: Recommanded way to use an XML parser in OSGi ?

The recommendation would almost certainly be to use the XML Parser Service. You can see it in the spec at https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/util.xml.html - note that this spec is pretty old, so all the examples use the

Scott, Those two issues are actually different things. The first one is to do with the defaulting of configuration, the second is to do with how File Install interprets property values with trailing spaces. As for why you don’t get the default - your configuration explicitly contains a

Re: Bundle start is an asynchronous call

You must never write code like this in OSGi. It is a serious error to assume that a service will be available immediately after a bundle has started, you must always listen for the service becoming available (which may happen a long time in the future). I’m not sure what it is that you’re

Re: Why does Karaf say this is a uses constraint?

The JClouds API sucks for this reason. They always return/receive a guava collection type rather than just using guava to generate the collections. It’s a leaky abstraction nightmare! Tim Sent from my iPhone > On 29 Jan 2018, at 15:58, Ryan Moquin wrote: > >

Hi Scott, Those are the two bundles that you need. At a guess Karaf is unhappy because the Aries bundles substitutably export the API packages that they need (including config admin) for ease of deployment. When installing bundles Karaf sometimes attempts some interesting package rewiring

Re: Adding an @Activate to a DS bundle causes the bundle not to load

My educated guess... By adding the activate method you have increased the required version of DS detected by bnd. This, in turn, has probably added a Require-Capability for the service that you import. This has no effect at runtime (due to the value of its effective directive) but if the

Sorry to wind this back a little, but there were a couple of questions from Tom which got skipped over. I'm afraid that when it comes to shells there isn't a standard. There was an RFC created a long time ago, which roughly represented the work that is now Gogo. There was a decision at the

Re: Pax-JDBC 1.1 hikari pool and XA Support

Another option would be to look at Apache Aries Transaction control. That provides a simple, effective model for connection pooling, resource lifecycle management, and transaction enlistment. It will also be the reference implementation of the OSGi Transaction Control specification when OSGi R7

Re: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.h2.Driver from bundle ..

That would be Karaf complaining that there is no H2 bundle installed into the runtime. You will need to include it in a feature somewhere. For reference you can configure a DBCP pool like this, passing in a DataSource:

Re: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.h2.Driver from bundle ..

Hi, The org.osgi.service.jdbc.DataSourceFactory service is an OSGi standard, not part of Karaf (hence the org.osgi package name). You can find the specification chapter in the OSGi compendium. If you look at the H2 bundle you'll also see that H2 actually implements this standard directly.

Re: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.h2.Driver from bundle ..

The correct way to obtain instances of JDBC reources is using a org.osgi.service.jdbc.DataSourceFactory service. This decouples you from a specific JDBC driver and allows you to pick an appropriate implementation at runtime. You can inject instances of this service using DS, Blueprint, or get

Re: missing requirement osgi.contract=JavaServlet

Requiring the JavaServlet contract is a good idea, and recommended by the OSGi Alliance (https://www.osgi.org/portable-java-contract-definitions/). You need a bundle which provides the contract in your runtime. I'd suggest using the repackaged servlet api from Apache Felix. Tim Sent from my

David is right, there is a bug in the packaging of the Aries local transaction control service implementation. You should just be able to use the XA implementation (which also supports local transactions) instead, or you can wait for a fix in the snapshots, which will likely appear in the new
