Hi Don, Thanks for your continued help. I've had my efforts diverted elsewhere for a bit, but I'm back to trying to explore this again today.
Following this message: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Camel-under-OSGi-without-Spring-et-al-tp4507473p4511826.html I've modified my test environment slightly. I've added the TypeConverterLoader to the list of services that my CamelStarter requires before it activates. That means that it now binds a ComponentResolver with (component=file) and a TypeConverterLoader before the activate method is invoked. That is also visible in the log. However, the call to camelContext.start() still produces an exception. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <scr:component xmlns:scr="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/scr/v1.1.0"; name="com.cra.camelsandbox.CamelStarter"> <implementation class="com.cra.camelsandbox.CamelStarter"/> <reference bind="bindComponentResolver" cardinality="1..1" interface="org.apache.camel.spi.ComponentResolver" name="ComponentResolver" policy="dynamic" target="(component=file)" unbind="unbindComponentResolver"/> <reference bind="bindTypeConverterLoader" cardinality="1..1" interface="org.apache.camel.spi.TypeConverterLoader" name="TypeConverterLoader" policy="dynamic" unbind="unbindTypeConverterLoader"/> </scr:component> public class CamelStarter { private static final transient Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(CamelStarter.class); protected void activate(ComponentContext context) { try { LOG.trace("activating"); CamelContext camelContext = new OsgiDefaultCamelContext(context.getBundleContext()); camelContext.start(); } catch (Throwable t) { t.printStackTrace(); } } protected void deactivate(ComponentContext context) { LOG.trace("deactivating"); } protected void bindComponentResolver(ComponentResolver cr) { LOG.trace("Binding ComponentResolver"); // Ignored, since the ComponentResolver is not directly used } protected void unbindComponentResolver(ComponentResolver cr) { LOG.trace("Unbinding ComponentResolver"); // Ignored, since the ComponentResolver is not directly used } protected void bindTypeConverterLoader(TypeConverterLoader tcl) { LOG.trace("Binding TypeConverterLoader"); // Ignored, since the ComponentResolver is not directly used } protected void unbindTypeConverterLoader(TypeConverterLoader tcl) { LOG.trace("Unbinding TypeConverterLoader"); // Ignored, since the ComponentResolver is not directly used } } I've also tweaked my logging settings to capture Camel's output, in the hope that it provides some more context: <START CONSOLE> [27 Jun 2011 12:20:11] INFO [Start Level Event Dispatcher] Activator -

Not familiar with OSGi Declarative Services, so there will be some guesswork on my part... Yes, I use OsgiCamelTracker to control the Camel-using bundles. But it also tracks whether the CamelContext-singleton-providing service (ContextUtil) is up. That service in turn depends on an instance of org.apache.camel.spi.TypeConverterLoader service. camel-core has a BundleActivator. That activator starts a BundleTracker that checks every bundle that launches (including itself) to see if it contains components that need to be loaded. It registers the components as services first, then it registers TypeConverterLoader. >From the example you gave, it looks like you need to create another class that binds to TypeConverterLoader, generates and starts a CamelContext, and then registers itself as a service; then your CamelStarter class would bind to that service along with the ComponentResolver(s), and fetch the CamelContext from that service. Can you bind to multiple services via your XML, such that your class won't activate until all the other services are found?
