Thank you for the answer, I'm not quite certain where to go from there though.
Is getting Axis from Springsource to prefer over the "plain" org.apache.axis which the maven for eclipse plugin suggests me? You say that SpringSource provides bundles for the dependencies, but I still have to manually add all dependencies, right? And once I deploy it on my Fuse Server, I manually have to place them there as well? (It was my impression that maven dependencies could get their own dependencies, if the dependency is also maven compatible), but that does not seem to happen for me at least, seems to me that I need to either include everything in my own bundle, or create dozens of small .bar's? Am I somehow including my dependencies wrong, or does it sound like somethings' not quite working with my FUSE server? Or am I just plain wrong? I tried adding the axis bundle from SpringSource as a dependency (and removing my old ones). Doing 'mvn clean install' resulted in an error due to missing javax.xml.rpc, adding this from SpringSource as well, resulted in successful build. - But once trying to start this in FUSE (after removing my .bar's) again resulted in a "Missing Constraint: Import package: javax.xml.rpc". Is the general idea, that I should make a .bar out of every external jar, and place it on the server? Or shouldn't the dependency somehow be able to be satisfied by FUSE/Servicemix downloading and installing it? - Morten -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Justin Edelson [mailto:[email protected]] Sendt: 15. juli 2010 14:50 Til: [email protected] Emne: Re: Problems including external jar's with felix If you want to use Axis 1.4.0, you can use the bundles from the SpringSource repo. Starting with: http://www.springsource.com/repository/app/bundle/version/detail?name=com.springsource.org.apache.axis&version=1.4.0&searchType=bundlesByName&searchQuery=axis and also ensuring that all of the require imports are satisfied. SpringSource provides bundles for those dependencies (see the Required Dependencies section of the page above), but I imagine that FUSE already has some of these installed. You shouldn't be trying to create self-sufficient bundles. Even if you are using a library for which no one has created an OSGi-friendly version, it would be better to bundelize the library rather than using Embed-Dependency.
