Sorry, I omitted the RestletHandler bean in my last snipped. Here is the
complete file:
<blueprint xmlns="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0";
default-activation="eager">
<service interface="org.apache.aries.blueprint.NamespaceHandler"
ref="RestletHandler">
<service-properties>
<entry key="osgi.service.blueprint.namespace"
value="http://code4you.org/xmlns/aries/restlet/v1.0.0"/>
</service-properties>
</service>
<bean id="RestletHandler"
class="org.code4you.osgi.restlet.aries.parsing.RestletElementHandler"/>
</blueprint>
Best regards

Hi Tom
thanks for replying!
I am aware of what you say about the manifest headers. And there are
no non-OSGi compatible libraries in my setup.
Let me clarify what I did: I wrote a namespace handler for the
blueprint extender who is able to parse tags like
<restlet:xxx>
This namespacehandler is registered in its own bundle and exports a
service like this:
<blueprint xmlns="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0";
default-activation="eager">
<service interface="org.apache.aries.blueprint.NamespaceHandler"
ref="RestletHandler">
<service-properties>
<entry key="osgi.service.blueprint.namespace"
value="http://code4you.org/xmlns/aries/restlet/v1.0.0"/>
</service-properties>
</service>
</blueprint>
This namespace handler creates the necessary BeanMetadata objects for
the blueprint extender, which in turn instantiates the declared
objects from the org.restlet bundle (which is a legitimate OSGi bundle
as well). The problematic part comes into play later, when the
blueprint extender is trying to attach a resource class to the
declared virtual host (whith the <restlet:attachDefault> tag). This
resources package can't be imported neither by the restlet bundle nor
by the namespacehandler bundle, because it's provided by the bundle
which is declaring the <restlet:component> component in its
context.xml file (within OSGI-INF/blueprint/).
The problematic part lies inside the restlets EngineClassloader where
it tries to load the afforementioned resource class. It does this by
trying out several classloaders: first a user provided
"userclassloader", then the current thread's class loader, and lastly
the bundle classloader. By writing this, I become aware of this
userclassloader, which I will try to use now.... (it's always useful
to explain complicated things to others, as you see :))
My main question about all this was, how the spring-extender is able
to perform it out of the box. The spring-extender is part of the
reference implementation of Gemini Blueprint
(http://www.eclipse.org/gemini/blueprint/). The whole Gemini blueprint
has to be seen as an alternative implementation of the OSGi blueprint
specification, in contrast to Aries. I wonder if the spring-extender
is instantiating objects for its custom namespacehandlers within the
thread's context classloader of the defining bundle. Probably that's
why it's working out-of-the-box there...
Thanks
Roger

If can run the program successfully without OSGi container, then the problem
is probably about class loading.
Osgi requires all imported bundles should be explicitly stated inside bundle
"MANIFEST.MF"
For non-OSGI compatible libraries, it is a problem
if run the program inside Apache karaf, you can solve the classloading
problem by using "dev:dynamic-import" command inside Karaf shell.
or
add the following declaration inside the "MANIFEST.MF"
DynamicImport-Package: *

Subject: Classloader issues with namespace handler
Hi
I wrote a namespace handler for the restlet framework.
Now I ran into a classloader issue with this in the context.xml file:
<restlet:component id="component">
<restlet:server protocol="http" port="8081" />
<restlet:defaultHost>
<restlet:attachDefault
targetClass="org.code4you.osgi.restlet.resource.DefaultResource" />
</restlet:defaultHost>
</restlet:component>
This is the stack trace:

The class DefaultResource is in the same bundle where the restlet component
is defined in the context.
I tried the same with the spring-blueprint-extender, and it worked there.
Any ideas?
