Hopefully someone can help me with this problem that is stopping me from progressing with Felix ?
I have a simple bundle based on the example DictionaryBundle in the examples with the added complexity of an embedded jar file, is this case commons-lang.jar. I can install and start the bundle into Felix when it is run from the command line (java -jar bin/felix.jar) and I can see the embedded jar being extracted in the felix-cache directory etc. In by Activator.start() method I also invoke the bundle code to prove that it works OK. If I write some other code, closely following the patterns described at http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-framework-launching-and-embedding.html#ApacheFelixFrameworkLaunchingandEmbedding-embedding, I find that, when the bundle is started, I get an error: Could not create framework: org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Activator start error in bundle [5]. [java] org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Activator start error in bundle [5]. [java] at org.apache.felix.framework.Felix.activateBundle(Felix.java:1899) [java] at org.apache.felix.framework.Felix.startBundle(Felix.java:1769) [java] at org.apache.felix.framework.BundleImpl.start(BundleImpl.java:927) [java] at com.bt.test.Main.main(Main.java:298) [java] Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/lang/StringUtils [java] at com.bt.test.DictionaryImpl.checkWord(DictionaryImpl.java:24) [java] at com.bt.test.DictionaryActivator.start(DictionaryActivator.java:33) [java] at org.apache.felix.framework.util.SecureAction.startActivator(SecureAction.java:629) [java] at org.apache.felix.framework.Felix.activateBundle(Felix.java:1852) [java] ... 3 more [java] I have studied the Main class from the Felix jar for differences to my code and cannot find anything obvious. Any clues appreciated. Thanks Adrian Smith BT Group
