Using Gemini DBAccess/JPA in services [message #989227] Wed, 05 December 2012 10:02 Go to next message

Hello,

I want to use Gemini DBAccess/JPA in a service.

For that I have created a plugin which will act as a service.

Dependencies as I have
 org.eclipse.gemini.jpa;bundle-version="1.1.0",
 org.eclipse.gemini.dbaccess.derby;bundle-version="1.1.0",
 org.apache.derby;bundle-version="10.5.1",
 com.hds.persistence.bundle;bundle-version="1.0.0",
 org.eclipse.gemini.ext.di;bundle-version="1.0.0"
.

In the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file
Meta-Persistence: META-INF/persistence.xml
JPA-PersistenceUnits: hds

are registered.
The file META-INF/persistence.xml exists. The EMF also be created accordingly.

In my service implementation, I use the following to get a reference to the EentityManager:
@Inject 
@GeminiPersistenceContext (unitName = "hds")
protected EntityManager em;



In the file OSGI-INF/component.xml I've also added a reference to the EMF.
<reference name="EMF"
  interface="javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory"
  cardinality="1..1"
  target="(osgi.unit.name=hdsPersistence)"
  policy="dynamic"/>


See http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/837592/?srch=gemini+jpa+service#msg_837592.

When I start the service, however, is no EM was injected.

If I
@Inject 
@GeminiPersistenceContext (unitName = "hds")
protected EntityManager em;

for example, in a handler use, coupled with a CMD, the EM is injected correctly.

Can anyone tell me what needs to be done in order to use Gemini in a service?

The service is to be used in UI parts to encapsulate the access to the data.


Sorry for my English.

Greeting for Germany.
Ronald

Hi Ronald,

1) You should not have JPA-PersistenceUnits header in the manifest file. This is an obsolete EclipseLink header.

2) Are you using the code from Filipp in http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/290891 ? He had gotten it working using custom annotations like @GeminiPersistenceContext.

Ok. Thanks.

Are you sure that you really mean this thread? The Topic is "CDT on HP UX platform" from February 2004. I think no. Smile

Hello Mike,

it's exasperating. Crying or Very Sad

I have looked at the thread and think that it does not fit. It is the basis of Gemini.Ext.DI implementation. The way I see it, I can here all the possible values ​​that I can use in the persistence.xml.

I do not think it helps me more.


I want to try again to outline my problem.

First: I have a plugin that provides @Entity. It also contains the META-INF/persistence.xml and the matching entry in the MANIFEST.MF.

Second: I want to implement a plugin that provides services to the application (read, write, search for Entity, etc.). The interface of the application are provided so that this plugin interface methods.

Thirdly, when the activation of the service Plugings I would get the reference to the javax.persistence.EntityManager(Factory).

The first plugin (the one with the @Entity) is found when the application and it seems that the appropriate services are registered.

The second plugin I implemented a bundle Activator, which has a service tracker for javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory. The method addingService (ServiceReference reference) returns the reference.
In the service implementation I have a method activate (Component context) implemented, the service searches for a reference, which I have set in the OSGI-INF/compoments.xml:

<reference name="EMF"
     interface="javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory"
     cardinality="1..1"
     target="(osgi.unit.name=hdsPersistence)"
     policy="dynamic"/>


Here is a fragment from the Bundle-Activator:

 @Override
  public void start (BundleContext context) throws Exception {

    log.info ("HDS Service DBAccess starting");
    ctx = context;

    
    dsfTracker = new ServiceTracker (
      ctx, 
      EntityManagerFactory.class.getName (),
      this);
    dsfTracker.open ();
    log.info (
      "HDS Service DBAccess started ctx:=" + ctx + ", dsfTracker:=" + dsfTracker);
     
    log.info ("HDS Service DBAccess started");
   
  }


  @Override
  public Object addingService (ServiceReference reference) {
    
    log.info ("addingService (" + reference + ") ...");
    Bundle b = reference.getBundle();
    Object service = b.getBundleContext().getService(reference);
    String unitName = (String) reference.getProperty(EntityManagerFactoryBuilder.JPA_UNIT_NAME);
    
    log.info ("b:=" + b);
    log.info ("service:=" + service);
    log.info ("unitName:=" + unitName);
    
    return service;
  }



Here is a fragment from the Service-Activator:

  protected void activate (ComponentContext context) {
    System.out.println (getClass ().getName () + ".activate (" + context + ")...");
    
    Object obj = context.locateService ("EMF");
    System.out.println ("  locateService (\"EMF\"):=" + obj);
    
    if (obj instanceof EMFServiceProxyHandler) {  // <== ClassNotFoundException here
      em = (EntityManager) ((EMFServiceProxyHandler) obj).createEMF (null);
    }
    if (obj instanceof EntityManagerFactory) {
      em = ((EntityManagerFactory) obj).createEntityManager ();
    }
    System.out.println ("  em:=" + em);
    
    System.out.println (getClass ().getName () + ".activate (" + context + ") FINISHED");
  }


When I start the application I receive in this method a ClassNotFoundException (see mark).

I have somewhere a mistake? Or a trifle forgotten?

Is there a way, the EntityManager (Factory) in the activation of the service implementation to resolve somehow the OSGI framework?

If so how?

Greetings form Germany.

Hi,

There's is a missunderstanding of the gemini.ext.di plugin. It is design to inject EntityManager or EntityManagerFactory instances into e4 components.

If you want to use di in OSGi services, than use declarative services. This service can be injected via the normal e4 di mechanism, as e4 searches in the OSGi service registry for matching services.

cheers,
Muki

Hi Ronald,

I guessed that since you had @GeminiPersistenceContext in your code that you were already using e4 or had seen the e4 example from Filippe somewhere. It sounds like it was rather just by chance that you picked the same name, though. In any case, my understanding is that you can use DS with e4 if you want to.

For the CNF problem, the EMFServiceProxyHandler class is private to the impl, and the impl packages are not exported for applications to use. Why is it that you think you need to use it? You should only be accessing the EMF[Builder] and other public JPA and OSGi types.

That was the missing link. Smile

@Mike
Thanks for your help.

Have a nice weekend...
