Hi,

I'm new to this forum and I first would like to say that you - ECF guys - are doing great work! I'm using ECF implementation of the OSGi 4.2 Remote Service specification and it works like a charm.
Up till now I was using ecf generic as communication protocol but due to limitations (I'll post another topic about this) I decided to replace it with r-osgi. The move was easily done but I immediately encountered a CNFE during the remote service registration in the r-osgi bundle. Some investigation told me that it only happens when using r-osgi in combination with ECF: registering the service directly to r-osgi does not produce the CNFE.
Here are some details:

The CNFE happens with following code (I wanted to attach the code but I don't know how to do it):
+ Bundle A
- package org.myorg.pkga
- public class ClassA {
private ClassB myClassB;
}

- package org.myorg.pkgb
- public ClassB {
}

- package org.myorg.service.itf
- public interface MyService {
void someMethod(ClassA arg);
}

- MANIFEST.MF with Export-Package: org.myorg.pkga,org.myorg.pkgb,org.myorg.service.itf

+ Bundle B
- package org.myorg.service.impl
- public class MyServiceImpl implements MyService {
void someMethod(ClassA arg) {
// do something
}
}

- public class Activator implements BundleActivator {
public void start(...) {

// works with direct r-osgi registration
//properties.put(RemoteOSGiService.R_OSGi_REGISTRATION, Boolean.TRUE);

// does not work with ECF OSGi 4.2 Remote Service registration
properties.put("service.exported.interfaces", "*");
properties.put("service.exported.configs", "ecf.r_osgi.peer");

context.registerService(MyService.class.getName(), new MyServiceImpl(), properties);
}
}
- MANIFEST.MF with Import-Package: org.myorg.pkga, org.myorg.service.itf

+ Target platform containing the needed r-osgi and ecf bundles

The CNFE happens in the ch.ethz.iks.r_osgi.impl.RemoteServiceRegistration constructor during CodeAnalyzer.analyze method call. Apparently the CodeAnalyzer relies on the classloader of the registered service and the Import-Package and Export-Package headers of the bundle registering the service and that's where the direct r-osgi and ECF registrations differ:
- When registering the service with the r-osgi property, the service registration is handled directly by r-osgi bundle: classloader and the Import/Export-Package headers are from Bundle B
- when registering the service with the ECF (OSGi Remote Service) properties, the service registration is first handled by the ecf.provider.r_osgi bundle which will re-register the service with the r-osgi property and this service registration will then be handled by the r-osgi bundle: classloader is still from Bundle B (is easily retrieved from service object) but the Import/Export-Package headers are from ecf.provider.r_osgi bundle (are retrieved from the servicereference object).
Because the CodeAnalyzer doesn't get the expected Import/Export-Package headers (the ones from Bundle B) a CNFE is thrown during the call.

So this looks like a bug but I can't say where the fix should be: in r-osgi bundle or in ecf.provider.r_osgi bundle? I would tend to say that the ecf.provider.r_osgi bundle should register the service with the bundle context of the bundle providing the service instead of its own bundle context (unless there's a good reason not to do so), like when impersonating a bundle in the extender model but here it's not an extender and getting the bundle context of the original service might be a little tricky...
