[ecf-dev] Remote OSGI services over XMPP

["Leen Toelen" <toelen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to set up a network with lots of automatic bots that basically need to expose their OSGI services to an administrator. I am using XMPP as the protocol, and sending IM's and files work without a problem. I would like to try remote services as well, but can't get it working.

This is what the bots do when admin comes online:

    /**
     * Register remote services with the admin
     * This is called when admin comes online
     */
    private void initializeRemoteServices() {
        try {
            // Get ECF adapter for remote services
            IRemoteServiceContainerAdapter adapter = (IRemoteServiceContainerAdapter) container
                    .getAdapter(IRemoteServiceContainerAdapter.class);

            // This is the ID of the administrator
            ID[] targetIDs = new ID[] { getID("admin") };

            Dictionary props = new Hashtable();
            props.put(Constants.SERVICE_REGISTRATION_TARGETS, targetIDs);
            props.put(Constants.AUTOREGISTER_REMOTE_PROXY, "true");
            
            // Create service instance
            PlatformAdmin service = Platform.getPlatformAdmin();
            
            IRemoteServiceRegistration reg = adapter.registerRemoteService(new String[] { PlatformAdmin.class
                    .getName() }, service, props);
            System.out.println("Registered remote service server: "+reg);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

The admin uses the normal contacts view, and has an action to use this services when right-clicking on a bot. This is the code that tries to connect to the PlatformAdmin service oof the selected bot:

ID[] ids = new ID[] { entry.getUser().getID() };
IRemoteServiceContainerAdapter adapter = (IRemoteServiceContainerAdapter) container.getAdapter(IRemoteServiceContainerAdapter.class);
IRemoteServiceReference[] refs = adapter.getRemoteServiceReferences(ids, PlatformAdmin.class.getName(), null);

But this always gives an empty array.

Is there something else I need to do to enable remote services on the "client" side?
