Configure default instance of a service [message #1801849]

Hi,

I've created a service to be used as singleton. I was wondering if there is a way to create the instance by default and make it non-deletable similarly to, for example, the ClockService?

Kind regards,

Hello,
I believe you should replicate the configuration of ClockService into your bundle files.
Furthermore, you could customise the config.ini file to locate and start the jar that wraps your bundle at Kura boot.

Best regards,
Matteo

Thank you for your response.

I've replicated ClockService configuration to hide the service implementation and avoid a recreation, but I was unable to avoid deletion of the service.

About the config.ini file, could you point me more precisely to one example. I've configured the snapshot_0.xml to include the service in the initial execution, is there a better approach? This method is vulnerable if a configuration without the service is uploaded as there would be no way to create the service from the interface.

Sorry, I don't understand this:

A singleton cannot be deleted from the Kura web ui.

If you had a look at the clock service configuration, https://github.com/eclipse/kura/blob/develop/kura/org.eclipse.kura.linux.clock/OSGI-INF/clock.xml
it says:

configuration-policy="require" enabled="true" immediate="true"

Then maybe I've configured wrongly the component. I've used the following annotation over the class:

@Component(scope = ServiceScope.SINGLETON)

I'll test the immediate clause soon. Thanks for the indication

I've tried the immediate clause and the service effectively gets instantiated but it can be configured in the web UI as it is not listed among Kura services. Not even in the snapshot file.

Maybe the service did not start.
Please have a look at the OSGi console.

Well, definitively I got it. Thanks for all the help provided.

The Singleton declaration was completely counter-productive. Besides it was needed to remove factoryPid from Designate in the configuration file. With these two modifications (ClockService was made this way, so the initial indication you made was correct) the service works like a charm.
