ClassLoader issue: Loading classes of other bundles [message #106123]

Hi,

I encountered a ClassLoader problem. I try to explain my problem the most
simple way:
- There are 3 bundles (F,S,C)
- Bundle F exports a package com.abc which contains an interface FInterface
- Bundle S imports the package com.abc (from Bundle F) and provides an
implementation of FInterface in package com.sde and exports this package
- Bundle C wants to load the implementation class of FInterface from Bundle
S and therefore imports the package com.sde
- for loading the implementation of FInterface bundle C instruments the
loadClass(String name) method from the BundleContext of Bundle S
--> this is where the error occurs! I get a ClassNotFoundException which
tells me that the FInterface class could not be found

Why does this exception occur (Bundle C imports com.abc as well as com.sde)?
Is there a way to enable Bundle C to load the implementation class of
FInterface from Bundle S?

Any help or pointers are much appreciated.

Regards,

Andreas.

What happens if you simply use FInterfaceImpl directly in Bundle C code?
If it imports the packages directly then this shouldn't be a problem at all.

Hi Gunnar,

in fact this would be maybe possible, it isn't a solution for my particular
problem. Bundle C must not important any code from Bundle S.

Regards,
Andreas.

Hi Andreas,

the cleanest solution for this issue is to use the service registry.
Bundle S registers an FInterfaceImpl object under the name of FInterface
(BundleContext#registerService). Bundle C imports only the package which
hosts FInterface and queries the service registry
(BundleContext#getServiceReference).

For more information take a look at
http://www2.osgi.org/javadoc/r4/org/osgi/framework/BundleCon text.html or
ask this newsgroup :-)

Greetings,
Benedikt
