Hi John,
thanks for your fast reply. Actually, I don’t have an issue. I was just wondering that it really works so easy. ;) If I understood you correctly, then everything should work out of the box, right? In my case the third party bundles are missing in the local and system repository thus the repository service will be used by the resolver service. Once the impl is from JBoss it will search in Maven central and JBoss Nexus. As far as good, how can I provide my own repository? Do I have to implement my own Repository Service which points to my specific r5 repository or can I reuse any implementation? Thanks to point me to the specification. I’ve already read it twice and I think I’m familiar with the concept I was just confused that it is really so easy. I thought I have to do some further tweaks … J Thanks and cheers Christian Are you experiencing some sort of issue? For example, do you have a resource in a repository registered as a service but it's not being found by subsystems? Your setup looks okay. In terms of getting subsystems to interact with these services, all you need to do is ensure they're registered. The standard interactions between subsystems and other spec'd services such as resolver and repository are defined in the OSGi Enterprise R5 specification which may be found here: http://www.osgi.org/Specifications/HomePage. You may also find additional information in the Javadoc here: http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r5/enterprise/. In a nutshell, when installing a subsystem, the implementation will use the felix resolver service (or the first resolver service it receives) to calculate dependencies. It will then search for resources that provide any missing dependencies using rules defined in the spec. As a gross generalization, these rules are (1) look for resources in the local repository (i.e. resources provided as part of the subsystem archive), (2) look for resources in the system repository (i.e. already installed resources) that provide dependencies in keeping with the isolation policy (this repository is not registered as a service but an internal implementation detail), (3) look for resources in registered repository services in service ranking order. For (3), the first repository providing a resource with a matching capability wins. Hope this helps.
