Karl Pauls updated FELIX-733:
-----------------------------
Attachment: native.patch
This patch should do the trick. Could you please test it and let me know if it
fixes it for you? In case you need a binary version let me know and I send you
one.
> Exception when uninstalling a bundle that contains a native library (and
> loaded it at bundle startup).

> Here is a short description of the problem and how I managed to fix it. Don't
> hesitate to contact me for details
> or to tell me if something here is wrong ! Cheers. Sylvain.
> 1- bundle "foo" embeds a native library "lib.dll" and declares it in its
> manifest, with appropriate platform declaration (os, version, processor).
> 2- foo's activator loads that library in the start(bc) method - with
> System.loadLibrary(...).
> 3- the library loads succesfully (this can be checked with e.g.
> processExplorer or pmap)
> 4- the bundle is stopped.
> 5- the bundle is uninstalled.
> > ERROR: org.apache.felix.framework.cache.BundleArchive: Unable to delete
> > archive directory
> Why does this happen :
> - step 4: the library is not unloaded because foo's contentclassloader is
> still alive. This is normal.
> - step 5: automatic package refresh : all bundles from uninstalled list are
> garbaged. Method
> Felix.garbageCollectBundle attemps to remove the bundle archive from the
> cache, but
> the dll file is still in use => ERROR. The dll is still in use because foo's
> contentclassloader has not yet
> been garbaged out.
> How to fix this:
> --------------------
> We need the ContentClassLoader to be garbaged out. So first release all
> references to foo's activator, then release all references to the
> ContentClassLoader itself,
> and finally do a System.gc() before attempting to remove the bundle from the
> cache.
> Two methods are impacted: ContentLoaderImpl.close() and
> Felix.garbageCollectBundle(...)
> ContentLoaderImpl.java
> -----------------------------------
> public synchronized void close()
> {
> ...
> ...
>
> // FIX SMA : release content class loader
> m_classLoader = null;
> }
> Felix.java
> -------------
> private void garbageCollectBundle(FelixBundle bundle) throws Exception
> {
>
> ....
>
> // FIX SMA : release reference to the activator
> bundle.getInfo().setActivator(null);
>
> // Do the garbage collection either systematically, or only if native
> libraries were loaded, or ...
> System.gc(); // this destroys the activator, the contentclassloader,
> and unloads the dll.
> // end FIX SMA
>
> // Remove the bundle from the cache.
> m_cache.remove(m_cache.getArchive(bundle.getBundleId()));
> }
