Hi all,
I'm trying to understand what I need to do in order for an updated bundle to be
installed in a new version of our application. I've looked at the OSGi
Installer docs [1], and it would seem that what I'm doing ought to work, but
unfortunately it is not.
I've got a multi-module maven pom that builds a few bundles and packages them -
rough structure:
multi-module-app
|- app
|- pom.xml
|- bundles
|- list.xml
|- reactor.drl
|- content
|- src...
|- pom.xml
|- jsp-support
|- src...
|- pom.xml
|- pom.xml
The list.xml lists a number of sling bundles where fixes exist more recent to
launchpad v6, and our 2 bundles (content & jsp-support). The app module
declares plugins to produce a .war and -standalone.jar, referring to
${basedir}/../bundles/list.xml, and using the reactor.drl rules (similar to the
example in the sling launchpad/testing project) to update the versions of our
bundles to the versions in the reactor.
So I do a build of version 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT and run the -standalone.jar, then
make a change to some of the content. If at this point I just do a re-build
(mvn clean package) and run the new -standalone.jar, nothing has changed - I
assume this is because the version hasn't changed so nothing is updated -
despite the Versions and Snapshots section in [1], which suggests that because
it's a -SNAPSHOT version, it will always be updated.
Now I do a maven release (for testing, I'm doing mvn release:update-versions)
which updates the version throughout to 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT. I then rebuild and run
the new -standalone.jar, which contains content-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar and
jsp-support-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar - still no change to the content. If I look in
the bundles list in the system console it is still showing 1.0.0.SNAPSHOT. From
my understanding of [1], supplying a new version of the bundle should cause an
update to happen?
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Cheers,
James
PS, the version of most of the bundles is as per launchpad v6 - I've noticed
that installer.core is now at v3.3.6, whereas the version we have is v3.1.2 so
perhaps that needs updating?
