Hello all,

 

I am very new to OSGi and Servicemix.

 

Let's say, I have a running Servicemix instance. A [local] maven
repository can be and is usually used to find resources required by
dependencies etc.

 

>From my bundle or better to say from my application that embeds
Servicemix I need to figure out a full file name of the resource
referenced by the maven url (mvn:...).

 

That is, I have an URL string that uses maven protocol and want to get a
local file name of the artifact referenced by this URL or even an input
stream representing that resource (that would be OK too).

 

I believe this is possible with help of the Servicemix preinstalled
bundle services.

 

Could you please give a hint in which direction should I look?

 

In the out of the box running Servicemix instance I have found several
bundles that provide 

org.osgi.service.url.URLStreamHandlerService

 

Do I need a maven implementation one of them? This interface requires a
further a reference to the org.osgi.service.url.URLStreamHandlerSetter
implementation. Should I implement it by myself?

Is there a more simple way to convert maven URL into the local file
system path?

 

The PAX documentation

http://wiki.ops4j.org/display/paxurl/Mvn+Protocol

is very brief and I could not find examples of how to use it.

 

The way I found to be recommended for use from inside bundles:

 

URL url = new URL(s);

InputStream in = url.openStream();

 

Doesn't work for me since I have an embedded Servicemix instance.

I have only a Felix, BundleContext and a ServiceTracker references and
the code above throws "unknown protocol" Runtime exception.

 

Thank you!

 

Best Regards,

Sergey Shcherbakov.
