Dieter,
I am all for eating our own dog food at all, but from my point of view
it would be great to be able to get the basics (i.e., remote Felix shell
access) working without having to have a lot of other dependencies. For
example, could we come up with a scheme to get shell access without
requiring Config Admin (and Metatype) and setting up a configuration in it?
Of course, perhaps this first version is just a proof of concept and you
expect to there to be a simpler approach too...
Otherwise, this all seems excellent.

The actual listener (in the telnetd-osgi bundle) is a
ManagedServiceFactory. This means, that you can get instances of
independent and configurable telnet/ssh listeners through the
configuration mechanism.
From a glimpse at the PAX page, you may be able to use
pax-confman-propsloader-0.2.1.jar
to load a configuration for the factory (factoryPid is
net.wimpi.telnetd.service.TelnetListenerServiceFactory).
Check out
http://wiki.ops4j.org/confluence/display/ops4j/Pax+ConfMan
for usage.
The properties file may look something like:
secure=false
connection.startshell=org.apache.felix.shellconsole.ConsoleShell
name=Telnet Service
connection.housekeeping.interval=60000
port=6667
pkeypass=
floodprotection=10
connection.idle.warning=3000000
connection.idle.logout=60000
pkey=
connection.inputmode=character
connection.max=100
listener.autostart=true
I haven't tried it, but I think it may be doable.
Regards,
Dieter

Hi,
I have the bundles installed and started... I seemingly only needed
to grab and install "commons.collection"; I have config admin
running, although I'm not sure about metatype... everything resolved,
but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm 100% operational... speaking of
operational...
OK, I apologize but I may need a bit of hand holding here...
So, I was doing netstat -a and I don't seem to find a listen port for
which to connect to a la telnet... I noticed a config xml with a port
default of 23... I tried that to no avail... I noticed you mention a
management utility like webconsole, which I also have no knowledge of
myself...
If someone out there can give me a hand / pointer, that would be
greatly appreciated...
here's my bundle list in config.properties:
felix.auto.start.1= file:bundle/commons-collections-3.2.1.jar

Thanks again, Craig Phillips

Subject: Re: Telnet bundle
Richard, Craig:
I spend some hours to hack together:
1) a telnetd-osgi bundle with the min requirements (including SSH;
but no templates, Beanshell etc.).
Imports:
org.osgi.framework,org.osgi.service.cm,javax.crypto,javax.crypto.spec,org.slf4j,org.apache.commons.collections,org.apache.commons.collections.buffer,org.apache.commons.collections.list
You'll need the metatype and the configuration admin bundles, as well
as a commons-collections bundle.
2) a shellconsole bundle that registers a simple shell that
represents a glue to the Felix Shell Service (cleanroom, no old code
used at all)
You can temporally find the two bundles here:
http://www.karanet.at/~wimpi/felix/org.apache.felix.shellconsole.jar
http://www.karanet.at/~wimpi/felix/telnetd-osgi.jar
Note that the listeners are actually configured through the CM, which
means you need some management utility (like the webconsole, which I
honestly don't manage to run in felix yet).
The configuration for the start shell is:
org.apache.felix.shellconsole.ConsoleShell
Also, character mode is required for the telnet listener to behave
correctly.
Hope that you can run it; feedback is welcome.
Regards,
Dieter
