Bundle context class loader in Component:activate/deactivate and Bundle:start/stop
I am running into an issue with bundle context class loader
1. I have some library code that dynamically loads classes using contextClassLoader or an explicitly set ClassLoader.
2. This code is triggered in Component.activate() (I think same behaviour in Bundle.start() )
3. The classes I am loading are appropriately imported in bundle manifest and are visible in bundle loader
I get ClassNotFoundException. It seems like the current thread class loader is not set to the bundle class loader instead set to something else (ContextFinder or FrameworkClassLoader). I also tried bundle.getClass().getClassLoader() and it does not point to bundle loader
either.
I have couple of questions on this:
1) Is the
activate/deactivate (or start/stop) supposed to run in "bundle context loader". Have not seen any references in OSGI spec on this
2) Is there a standard API to get the Bundle ClassLoader to satisfy above need
3) Any other approach to addres the issue
Thanks,
