osgi

I am using the aQute Bnd toolset to create an OSGi bundle and have packaged with some dependant 'resource' files. This includes *.css files and *.xsd files in a resources directory I have created. I have included the following in the bundle.bnd file: Include-Resource: resources/=resources/ and when I do a build, the generated *.jar file has the *.css and *.xsd files in the resources directory in the top directory of the jar bundle file. However, in the actual code I am having difficulty in trying to refer to this as part of my class path: I have tried the following: new File("resources/example

What I'd like to do is create a "launcher" framework for my code that, given a URL and a predefined versioning scheme: 1) go check if an update exists 2) download the updates 3) "install" the update 4) "re-run" the application I want to a) do all of this inside of the existing JVM and b) be platform independent. Tall order right? Based on my (limited) knowledge of OSGi and Apache Felix I'm pretty sure this is possible, but I'm really getting lost in the details. Checking for an update and downloading it is trivial. Causing the "old" bundle to unload and the "new" bundle to load is where I'm

How can I distinguish between published OSGI services implementing same interface by their properties? Assuming that you want to retrieve registered services based on certain values for properties, you need to use a filter (which is based on the LDAP syntax). For example: int myport = 5000; String filter = "&(objectClass=" + MyInterface.class.getName() + ")(port=" + myport + ")"; ServiceReference[] serviceReferences = bundleContext.getServiceReferences(null,filter); where you want to look for services both implementing MyInterface and having a value of the port property equal to myport .

I have installed Knopflerfish on an Android emulator using this tutorial: http://www.knopflerfish.org/releases/current/docs/android_dalvik_tutorial.html The installation on the emulator is ok, and now I would like to call an OSGi bundle running on the emulator from my Android Activity. But I just can't find any way to do this. Is there somebody who has already done such a thing? Have you seen this? http://nilvec.com/embedding-osgi-into-an-android-application-part-1.html The patches I submitted for better Android/Dalvik support in Knopflerfish have been merged so patching and recompiling KF

I have an application that runs as a collection of OSGi bundles. I start it using a very small wrapper that embeds the Felix framework. The necessity of that wrapper irks me a little, as does the fact that it depends on Felix (whereas the application itself could run just as well in, say, Equinox), so I want to get rid of it, and use the default Felix launcher. The only thing that the wrapper really does is passing the command line arguments into the launched OSGi framework, so that a bundle there can react upon them. Note that it does not actually parse the arguments, just pushes the String[]

I am new to OSGI and I am trying to figure out how I resolve errors such as the one below org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Unresolved constraint in bundle org.foo.serviceBundle [253]: Unable to resolve 253.0: missing requirement [253.0] package; (&(package=org.slf4j)(version>=1.6.0)(!(version>=2.0.0))) I used a maven archetype to generate a bundle and added some simple slf4j logging to my Activator class. I am also using the maven bundle plugin as follows: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId> <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.2.0</version> <extensions>true<
