The startlevel service starts at priority 1 (or 0, I'm not sure) and loads all the bundles at that level, starts them, increases the start level by one, and repeats until done. > > The problem with webconsole is that it times out.

This is sort of reasonable if you have no idea what the jar does and what actually is optional, but obviously ridiculous if you do know what the jar does. So, its a good idea to actually look into the contents and figure out what is optional and what isn't. You can then write a "bundleizing" maven project that repackages the jar as a bundle or (I think, I never tried it) provide a lot of info in the wrap url telling bnd what to do. Optional package imports work like this: if the optional package happens to be available when the bundle starts, it's wired in. If it doesn't happen to be available, it is not wired in even if the package becomes available later, and if you want to get it wired in you have to refresh the bundle with the optional import. So you are observing the normal optional package import behavior. You can also use dynamic-import-package which will check for the package every time you try to use the wire, but this can have performance implications. hope this helps.... david jencks > > -- > View this message in context: > http://karaf.922171.n3.nabble.com/Feature-Dependencies-load-order-tp3184561p3185973.html > Sent from the Karaf - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
