Virgo packaged Spring 3 bundles not having all dependencies fulfilled [message #911778]

Hitting a problem where I'm trying to make use of the included Spring 3 OXM framework within Virgo. The exception is telling me that I need to fulfill the Thoughtworks xstream dependencies of the Spring OXM bundle.

org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.osgi.framework.ExtendedClassNotFoundException: com.thoughtworks.xstream.io.HierarchicalStreamWriter in KernelBundleClassLoader: [bundle=org.springframework.oxm_3.0.5.RELEASE]
	org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.userregion.internal.equinox.KernelBundleClassLoader.loadClass(KernelBundleClassLoader.java:139)
	java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:356)
	java.lang.Class.getDeclaredConstructors0(Native Method)
	java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredConstructors(Class.java:2404)
	java.lang.Class.getDeclaredConstructors(Class.java:1853)...

I've downloaded and installed the Springsource distribution of the xstream dependency, however, when looking at the Spring OXM bundle in the Virgo admin console, it still looks as though the dependency isn't fulfilled, and I'm getting the same exception (above), indicating the same thing.

Do I need to do something to the Virgo server, in order to force it to try and fulfill it's bundles optional dependencies, from other newly installed bundles?

Many thanks in advance.

Think this problem is being caused by the fact that Virgo doesn't seem to be updating the provider for com.thoughtworks.xstream. I think the reason for this is because in the org.springframework.oxm bundle, its import directives for com.thoughtworks.xstream are declared as optional.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Solution;-

add the optional dependencies to the ${VIRGO_HOME}/repository/usr/ directory, then restart, using the -clean flag

${VIRGO_HOME}/respository/bin/startup.sh -clean &

You got it.

This is actually a 'feature' of OSGi. Once a bundle has been installed it is not possible to resolve any extra optional dependencies without restarting the bundle. By placing your bundle in one of Virgo's repo it is able to see that it can satisfy one of the optional dependencies of the Spring bundle when Virgo is starting and bring it in.

Hope the explanation helps,
Chris.
