Buddy class loading and blackbox components [message #515588]

Hi,

how do I express buddy class loading if bundle A, which is supposed to
load classes of B, is a blackbox component and cannot be changed? I own
B though.

Thanks
Markus

In this case A must specify a buddy policy (either registered or dependent) to allow it to load any classes from a buddy. There is no way to force buddies onto a bundle that has no buddy policy.

The closest thing OSGi has to that behavior would be to make B a fragment of A. Then A will be able to load anything from B because all of the content from A and B will be loaded from the same class loader.

Tom.

it had to be turned from a jar into a bundle at some point, right? When
that happens, it needs the "Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: registered" (or similar
buddy policy statement) in its MANIFEST.MF.

The B can include "Eclipse-RegisterBuddy: A"

True, but this is out of my control as it is packaged by SpringSource. I
guess my only option is to file an enhancement request then.

Thx
