Hello everybody
I'm looking for a way to install bundles programmatically located in one of the provisioning repositories.
One solution I found is by using BundleContext.installBundle(location) (see [1]) where I have to set location with a file uri and an absolute path to the bundle's jar. Something like "file:/xxx/virgo/repository/usr/mybundle.jar".
Is there any other solution I can install bundles located within the provisioning repositories? Maybe to get their absolut paths on the filesystem or only something like a list of paths of bundles from the provisioning repositories or a list of input streams containing them? I'd like to avoid absolute paths as they may differ between different installations.
Regards,
Marco

Hi Glyn
Very cool, thanks!

You can use a URL of the form "repository://type/name[/version]" to refer to an artifact in the provisioning repository
My problem with this approach is, that I don't have the symbolic names, but a pattern for all the bundles I'm interested in. Is there a way to get a list of symbolic names for all not yet installed bundles matching a pattern? It's not really a blocker, as I can use a config file to get the symbolic names from as a working alternative but the first would be the most beautiful way to go when using this approach

This should be ok, as we manage such bundles from within a bundle installed and managed by virgo.

Such as managing such bundles by a plan, right? However, the whole start/stop handling by using f.ex. the virgo web console still seems to be working. Or is there a way to let virgo install a bundle by using a virgo api in a way I don't have such limitations?
Thanks,
Marco

So, as a first try, I use the jconsole script provided with virgo 3.0.0.M05 to access the Deployer MXBean. Using install(p0) with:
repository:bundle/my.bundle.symbolic.name/0.0.1.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
the bundle passes over into state RESOLVED as expected. However, using start (p0) afterwards fails as it's deselected, and trying to use start(p0, p1, p2) with:
p0: bundle
p1: my.bundle.symbolic.name
p2: 0.0.1.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
fails with the following error:
Problem invoking start : java.lang.RuntimeException:java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Not yet implemented, use deploy instead of install and start.
Following the error message and using deploy(p0) with p0 set as follows instead of using install and start:
repository:bundle/my.bundle.symbolic.name/0.0.1.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
deploys the bundle where the resulting state is ACTIVE.
Same thing with stop/uninstall and undeploy.
The bad thing here is that I always have to use 'deploy' and 'undeploy' where I never reach RESOLVED -> ACTIVE in two single steps.
What's the reason for such limitations? It would be nice if I could manage the entire lifecycle over the deployer mxbean instead of getting and resolving the Bundle to do so; which, btw is a solution I can live with
Cheers,
Marco

Glyn Normington wrote on Thu, 14 July 2011 01:03You can use a URL of the form "repository://type/name[/version]" to refer to an artifact in the provisioning repository. The square brackets indicate that the trailing "/version" is optional, in which case Virgo uses the highest version available, and are not part of the URL. In the case of a bundle, "type" is "bundle" and "name" is the bundle symbolic name (and if "version" is specified, it is the bundle version).
Please note that these installs will be done directly into the OSGi framework and will not benefit from any Virgo deployer support and that, in Virgo 3.0, bundles installed in this way will be installed in the same region as the BundleContext used to do the install.
Hope that helps!
I have some bundles in the repository/usr directory which I would like to start conditionally. I have removed their plan files from pickup, but when I use the URL format described above with BundleContext.installBundle(), or with FrameworkMBean.installBundle(), I get an error that it is an invalid URL. Would this then be an example of correct usage (where the symbolic name for the bundle I wish to install and start is com.delphidisplay.insight.ocs-http) : "repository://bundle/com.delphidisplay.insight.ocs-http"?
Bundle-SymbolicName: com.delphidisplay.insight.ocs-http

...
My bundle is a war bundle.
BTW, I am using Virgo with kernel version # 3.6.2.RELEASE.
I have tried with the repository/usr directory as both a watched directory and as another external directory (which does not seem to matter in this case.) The org.eclipse.virgo.repository.management.ExternalStorageRepositoryInfo MBean attribute "AllArtifactDescriptorSummaries" includes the bundle I am trying to install, but the installBundle methods (and variations on URLs) seems unable to find it, and I cannot find documentation on programmatic installation (or deployment) of bundles already in the usr directory beyond what was discussed above. I have reviewed virgo & gemini source on github as well with no luck. Any direction on this from committers or others who have had success with this topic would be greatly appreciated!
UPDATE: For anyone out there attempting the same, I was not able to determine why my repository URL did not work with BundleContext.installBundle() or FrameworkMBean.installBundle(), but by including the necessary dependencies (and maven exclusions for artifacts in the "org.eclipse.virgo.mirrored" groupId since it is not in a public maven repository that I could find) into my build to use the org.eclipse.virgo.nano.deployer.api.Deployer MBean (unproxied) and use the signature as in the example by Marco Gerber on this thread (no "//" after repository, and include bundle version at end of URL), I was able to get the bundle started using Deployer.deploy("repository:bundle/com.delphidisplay.insight.ocs-http/2.1.0"). (I went with unproxied MBean because with the proxy, it was starting the bundle but then throwing a class cast exception for the return value , trying to cast javax.management.openmbean.CompositeDataSupport to org.eclipse.virgo.nano.deployer.api.core.DeploymentIdentity)
Thanks,
Ellen
