When does Virgo register the ApplicationContext service? [message #632733] Thu, 14 October 2010 02:22 Go to next message

I used the following code in Activator to get a reference to ApplicationContext:
ServiceReference[] appContext = context.getAllServiceReferences("org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext", "(org.springframework.context.service.name=org.planner.service.member.management.implx)");

But the returned value is null.

Has Virgo not yet registered the service when Activator.start() is called, or is there any bug in the above code?

The above code is to get the ApplicationContext service registered by its bundle.

From the Virgo log, the Activator.start() is called before OsgiBundleXmlApplicationContext is loaded, so the ApplicationContext service is registered later than the call to Activator.start().

Write a class that implements "ApplicationContextAware" and define this class inside the application context is safe to get the instance of ApplicationContext.

You seem to have answered your own question. Well done! Smile

The Spring DM extender in Virgo kicks in when the bundle STARTED event is broadcast, which is after any bundle activator has returned.

Note that for bundle artifacts deployed by Virgo, Virgo tracks the completion of both the synchronous portion of the start, which includes calling any bundle activator, and the asynchronous portion of the start, which includes the Spring DM extender building any application context and publishing it in the service registry, and only when both these have completed successfully changes the bundle install artifact state (visible on the admin console and elsewhere) from STARTING to ACTIVE. If either fail, there is appropriate error handling and diagnostics. If the asynchronous portion takes an extended time, then warnings are issued periodically.
