Hi, I'm getting the exception at the end of the email when running our app on Java 5. However, it runs fine on Java 6.
The app is actually running embedded in a WAR deployed to JBoss 4.2.2 GA. This problem stops our components (all SCR based) from being activated and actually sets them to disabled. Manually enabling each component in turn eventually gets the system up and running, so it looks like the ConfigurationAdmin manages to get going eventually, but not before causing problems elsewhere. The war is setup like in the example war file and has the following bundles directly embedded: com.springsource.org.apache.commons.codec-1.4.0.jar org.apache.felix.configadmin-1.2.4.jar org.apache.felix.eventadmin-1.2.2.jar org.apache.felix.fileinstall-2.0.8.jar org.apache.felix.http.bridge.jar org.apache.felix.log-1.0.0.jar org.apache.felix.scr-1.4.0.jar org.apache.felix.webconsole-3.0.0.jar We then use fileinstall to load our actual application bundles from elsewhere (so that we're not affected by the lifecycle of the WAR file itself when we add or remove bundles at runtime). So like I say, this all runs fine on Java 6 (on my Mac) but when my colleague tried with Java 5 on his Windows machine, that's when we got the exception. He installed Java 6 and it worked. He then upgraded Java 5 to the latest version he could and it blew up again. (We're gradually reducing our dependencies on the WAR / JEE but for now we're stuck with this environment and our customer has Java 5 and can't update to Java 6 at the moment because that causes some other problems.) Any thoughts / ideas greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
