Hello,
im pretty new to eclipse RCP and OSGi.
I have two Projects. The first is an RCP application and the second is a
pure Java application.
I try to get an Object that i succesfully registered as OSGi Service
from outside the OSGi Framework with getService. This doesnt work.
Here is what i do:
Register the service inside my RCP application:
Hashtable props = new Hashtable();
props.put(Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION, "QualiGUI Service");
props.put("description", "This is a QualiGUI Test");
ServiceRegistration sr = bc.registerService(ComTest.class.getName(), new
ComTest(), props);
This seems to work. The service is listed in the Array i get from
EclipseStarter.getSystemBundleContext().getAllServiceReferen ces(null, null)
from inside my Plugin.
In my Java application is set some Frameworksettings and then
start the Framwork using
EclipseStarter.run(args);
This works fine. My RCP Application is running.
Now im trying to get the Service that i registered above.
for (Bundle b : EclipseStarter.getSystemBundleContext().getBundles())
{
if (b.getSymbolicName().equalsIgnoreCase("qualishipgui"))
{
for (ServiceReference sr : b.getRegisteredServices())
{
ComTest ct = (ComTest)b.getBundleContext().getService(sr);
}
}
}
In my Java project i added my RCP project to the classpath so i get
access to the class "ComTest" that is located inside my RCP app.
When the Cast runs i get this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException:
de.cemaris.qualiship.qualishipgui.communication.ComTest cannot be cast
to de.cemaris.qualiship.qualishipgui.communication.ComTest
This looks kind of funny to me..
I googled a lot and search Forums and i figured it has to do something
with the different Classloaders being used.
But i didnt find a solution on how to fix this.
Can you help me, please?
regards,
Gordian

Indeed this is a clear symptom that you are using different class
loaders. The bundle which registers the service is using the its bundle
class loader. However, your code trying to access the service is using
most probably VM's Application Class loader, which is the very base
class loader.
You need to guarantee that the class is loaded from the same place for
both your non-OSGi code and your OSGi code. This can be most easily done
by packing the class in your non-OSGi part of the application and making
it available to the OSGi part via system packages
(org.osgi.framework.system.packages) and importing the package in the
bundle's manifest.
Have fun,

thank you for your answer.
How do i make a class available to OSGi via system packages?

The best approach is to create framework extension bundle. This is a
fragment bundle of the system.bundle:
Fragment-Host: system.bundle; extension:=framework
Additionally, in the fragment bundle's manifest, you need to export the
packages you are interested in:
Export-Package: com.acme.pack; version="1.0"
In your bundle, you need to import it:
Import-Package: com.acme.pack
The other approach is by setting the org.osgi.framework.system.packages
property, before launching the OSGi container. However, this may lead to
other problems if you are using samo JDK packages in your bundles, so it
is not advisable to use it, unless you know what you are doing. More
information about both concepts can be found in the OSGi R4.1 specification:

It works. Thank you so much!
I used the way of creating a fragment bundle of system.bundle.
The other way of setting org.osgi.framework.system.packages did indeed
lead to problems. My Application threw alot of errors because it didnt
find stuff. I guess setting up org.osgi.framework.system.packages
manually to all the right settings would work.? But thats alot of work.
Again, Thank you!
