Thanks Nicolas. 1 and 3 from your list are checked.
2 is the one where there is a problem. I should have added more context to my previous email: At the point where a reference to the Plumber component is requested I see the exception. Please see the component status below this message. The problem I was referring to in the SingleComponentManager class, which is part of the org.apache.felix.scr-2.1.16 bundle, is that when sling tries to create the instance of the Plumber component it seems to be looking for a constructor, which it is not finding, hence the NPE. 236=[org.apache.sling.pipes.internal.PlumberImpl] Bundle=org.apache.sling.pipes (163) State=failed activation Failure=java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.felix.scr.impl.manager.SingleComponentManager.createImplementationObject(SingleComponentManager.java:277) at org.apache.felix.scr.impl.manager.SingleComponentManager.createComponent(SingleComponentManager.java:114) at org.apache.felix.scr.impl.manager.SingleComponentManager.getService(SingleComponentManager.java:982) at org.apache.felix.scr.impl.manager.SingleComponentManager.getServiceInternal(SingleComponentManager.java:955) at org.apache.felix.scr.impl.manager.SingleComponentManager.getService(SingleComponentManager.java:900) at org.apache.felix.framework.ServiceRegistrationImpl.getFactoryUnchecked(ServiceRegistrationImpl.java:347) at org.apache.felix.framework.ServiceRegistrationImpl.getService(ServiceRegistrationImpl.java:247) at org.apache.felix.framework.ServiceRegistry.getService(ServiceRegistry.java:350) at org.apache.felix.framework.Felix.getService(Felix.java:3737) at org.apache.felix.framework.BundleContextImpl.getService(BundleContextImpl.java:470) at org.osgi.framework.BundleContext$getService$0.call(Unknown Source) at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.CallSiteArray.defaultCall(CallSiteArray.java:48) at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.AbstractCallSite.call(AbstractCallSite.java:113) at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.AbstractCallSite.call(AbstractCallSite.java:125) at test.run(test.groovy:13) at com.composum.sling.core.script.GroovyRunner.run(GroovyRunner.java:105) at com.composum.sling.core.script.GroovyRunner.run(GroovyRunner.java:88) at com.composum.sling.core.script.GroovyJobExecutor$GroovyRunnerCallable.call(GroovyJobExecutor.java:172) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1149) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:624) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) DefaultState=enabled Activation=delayed ConfigurationPolicy=optional ServiceType=singleton Services=org.apache.sling.pipes.Plumber, org.apache.sling.event.jobs.consumer.JobConsumer ServiceId=807 Reference=distributor, Satisfied Service Name: org.apache.sling.distribution.Distributor Cardinality: 0..1 Policy: dynamic Policy Option: reluctant Reference=factory, Satisfied Service Name: org.apache.sling.api.resource.ResourceResolverFactory Cardinality: 1..1 Policy: static Policy Option: reluctant Bound Service: ID 680 (Apache Sling Resource Resolver Factory) Reference=jobManager, Satisfied Service Name: org.apache.sling.event.jobs.JobManager Cardinality: 1..1 Policy: static Policy Option: reluctant Bound Service: ID 798 (org.apache.sling.event.impl.jobs.JobManagerImpl) Properties= authorizedUsers=[admin] bufferSize=1000 component.id=236 component.name=org.apache.sling.pipes.internal.PlumberImpl executionPermissionResource=/system/sling/permissions/pipes/exec job.topics=org/apache/sling/pipes/topic sleep=0 On Fri, Dec 4, 2020 at 2:57 AM Nicolas Peltier <npelt...@apache.org> wrote: > Hey Carlos, > > not sure i know SingleComponentManager nor your way of using an osgi > service. > The way i know is > 1. check that sling pipes bundle is active (it needs sling query > dependency), > 2. check that plumberimpl is active > 3. in your code have plumber as a reference (with the osgi annotation) > > Hope this helps > Nicolas > > Le ven. 4 déc. 2020 à 03:36, Carlos Munoz <camu...@redhat.com> a écrit : > > > Hi Nicholas, > > > > I'm reviving this thread as I have continued to experiment with pipes > > (specifically version 3.1.0) but I am getting an error when trying to > get a > > reference to the Plumber service.
