OSGi Services query fails [message #825802] Wed, 21 March 2012 09:19 Go to next message

hi guys!

i wrote a little helper class, which allows me to monitor all my osgi services provided by my application.

so when i launch my Application from within my IDE, everything is working fine and all the services get listed.

but when i export my application and launch this application i run into an nullpointer exception (@see // refs is null here!!)

can someone explain me why this happens?
and/or how to fix it?

thanks in advance

UPDATE: i now removed this class from my project and replaced it by normal code (without static references.)
same result! the services are not found when i exported the product, but it's working fine when i launch the product from ide!

UPDATE2: it seems the services are simply not starting in the exported product. although i defined em Quote:
enabled="true" immediate="true"
in the xml...

I don't understand how this would ever return non-null. You are asking for all services that match the filter (objectclass=lumo.osgi.service.*) AND were registered under the class name "objectClass". I am assumeing Constants.OBJECTCLASS is from the OSGi constants class org.osgi.framework.Constants

When exported, is org.eclipse.equinox.ds activated BEFORE your code runs to make sure your service components are allowed to be registered?

HTH

Tom.

thanks for your reply Tom,

for your first quote, this code is commented out (forgot to delete it from the quote)
so it should not affect anything (cant remember but somewhere i read that you can also pass the superclass of the bundle, where it stated out that this constatnt.objectclass would return all bundles... - but its not in use anyway)
the // refs is null here!! was meant for the not commented out code Smile

i have the two plugins
org.eclipse.core.runtime
org.eclipse.equinox.ds
as autostart and starlevel (default) 0

how can i ensure the ds is activated before my code?

UPDATE: i switched eclipse version since my last export (where the osgi services were running fine) and when i compare my config ini's

the old one is including the org.eclipse.equinox.ds as osgi.bundle
whie the new one does NOT, BUT it says: equinox.ds=true

i am currently using eclipse 3.7, last export was with 3.6 and the plugins were created with eclipse 3.4 (but this will not make any difference i guess...)

I am having a similar issue with the EventAdmin service, did you resolve this and if so would you mind sharing your solution?
