Hi I would like to know how a library "should" implement classpath scanning using OSGi means only. I know that the "classpath scanning" issue has been raised on this list before. I particulary came by the following post:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg11838.html Putting container specific solutions aside, the only solution I came up with is the following algorithm: // Get the current bundle Bundle bundle = FrameworkUtil.getBundle(...); // Scan the current bundle. Works for the following case: // - Fragment is attached to the library // - Library is wrapped inside a bundle Enumeration<URL> entries = bundle.findEntries("migration/db", "*", true); // No results found: Search in all bundles BundleContext context = currentBundle.getBundleContext(); Bundle[] bundles = context.getBundles(); for (Bundle bundle : bundles) { ... = bundle.findEntries("migration/db", "*", true); } Questions: - Is the approach described above a perfectly legitimate approache or more like a hack? - Are there other possibilties to implement classpath scanning with OSGi? - Do you know of (simple) libraries that use classpath scanning and work in OSGi? (best practice example) I'm aware that the question is not Felix specific but I'm non the less very interested in your thoughts.
