here is some more information: i have started the karaf service created by pax exam manually, getting on the command line:
service:list DataSource shows: [javax.sql.DataSource] ---------------------- databaseName = scvdev dataSourceName = jdbc/scv_xa felix.fileinstall.filename = file:/D:/HYPER-V/data/git/AMX/hoi.itest.karaf/target/pax/fe9a14e5-ac9a-47a3-acb8-bec13851ab36/etc/org.ops4j.datasource-scv_xa.cfg osgi.jdbc.driver.name = derby-pool-xa osgi.jndi.service.name = jdbc/scv_xa password = xxx service.factoryPid = org.ops4j.datasource service.id = 409 service.pid = org.ops4j.datasource.5d401396-0dc7-445e-8dad-0c1077a2a28f url = jdbc:derby:target/scvdev;create=true;user=xxx;password=xxx user = xxx Provided by : OPS4J Pax JDBC Config (39) also jdbc:datasources shows: jdbc/scv_xa, 409 | Apache Derby | 10.11.1.1 - (1616546) | jdbc:derby:target/scvdev | OK and jdbc:tables shows all the Derby system tables. So this seems to be a timing problem between those bundles. Wondering does nobody use the pax-jdbc bundle and pax exam? -- -- ------------------ OPS4J - http://www.ops4j.org - ops4j@googlegroups.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OPS4J" group.
