Hi, all -

I have a simple plan file that deploys 7 subsystem bundles, each of which exposes and references services.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<plan name="my.plan" version="1.0.0" scoped="false" atomic="true">
    <artifact type="bundle" name="interfaces.internal" version="0"/>
    <artifact type="bundle" name="subsystems.data" version="0"/>
    <artifact type="bundle" name="subsystems.settings" version="0"/>
    <artifact type="bundle" name="subsystems.aaa" version="0"/>
    <artifact type="bundle" name="subsystems.devices" version="0"/>
    <artifact type="bundle" name="subsystems.restful" version="0"/>
    <artifact type="bundle" name="subsystems.mitigation" version="0"/>
    <artifact type="bundle" name="subsystems.web" version="0"/>
</plan>


Unfortunately, it is not working - the errors seem to indicate a race condition, since they are not determinate (they change with each run). But they're all similar to this:

[2012-09-28 09:49:23.970] region-dm-9                  <AG0000E> Application context creation failure for bundle 'subsystems.aaa' version '1.0.0.SNAPSHOT'. org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'aaaSubsystemImpl' defined in URL [file:/opt/virgo-tomcat-server/work/org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.deployer_3.5.0.RELEASE/staging/global/bundle/subsystems.aaa/1.0.0.SNAPSHOT/aaa-1.0.0.SNAPSHOT.jar/subsystems/aaa/AaaSubsystemImpl.class]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [subsystems.aaa.AaaSubsystemImpl]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'subsystems.aaa.AaaSubsystemImpl': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private interfaces.internal.subsystems.aaa.GroupsDataSource subsystems.aaa.AaaSubsystemImpl.groupsDataSource; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No matching bean of type [interfaces.internal.subsystems.aaa.GroupsDataSource] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.

        at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.doCreateBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:485)


Sometimes the error refers to a different bundle, but it's the same scenario - a service one bundle has published to Virgo cannot be autowired to another bundle that is referencing it. (Note that I don't have any cyclic service usage.)

However, if instead of using the plan file, I copy each bundle (in the same order) to the Virgo pickup directory with a five second delay between each bundle deploy, I see no errors and the application works just fine.

With the plan file, it's almost like the services of each bundle don't have time to be registered and initialized before they are referenced - and thus the autowiring problem.
Is there something I'm missing or is this a known issue?

Thanks.
Justin

Hi Justin.

Are you using SpringDM to register and obtain your services? SpringDM typically takes care of these timing issues nicely for you, waiting to activate any bundle until the services it requires are available. (At least, it does for me!... Wink

Hi, Barbara - thanks for the response.
Are referring to the use of osgi:service and osgi:reference elements in the spring configuration files?
If so, then yes, I have been using them - before and after this problem started occurring.
If not, could you enlighten me on the mechanism you are referring to?

Thanks.
Justin

Hi Justin.

Sorry for the delay in my reply. I am referring exactly to the tags you mention, so we are using the same mechanism. No bright ideas as to why you experience the problems you mention, so sorry.

Hi, Barbara -

Thanks for the response. I just discovered the issue - one or both of the following tags in the Spring context file were causing the problem.

	<context:load-time-weaver/>
	<context:spring-configured />


I suspect it was the load-time-weaver causing Spring to try to resolve the service dependencies immediately rather than waiting for them to initialize before wiring.

Anyway, glad that got resolved!
Thanks.
Justin
