Datasource with Apache Felix.
Team, I want to know how to configure datasource in Felix container. I have a blueprint that contains datasource info, this i want to make work in Felix. In Karaf when i put it in deploy folder it works perfectly. Am not getting a direction as how to achive this in felix. -- Cheers RamaKrishna RV
Re: Datasource with Apache Felix.
Any reason not to stick to Karaf as your container as it uses Felix as its framework? Otherwise you'll need to re-assemble the complete stack that is used inside Karaf. So you'll need to add the blueprint bundles first, those can be found at the Aries Project. Now you'll need to make sure you have Felix File install configured correctly and installed with your framework. For that you'll need some sort of main that does the bootstrapping of bundles that need to be part of the basic setup. ... I think I could go on for about 4 to 5 other projects you most likely would need. Again, why don't you stick to Karaf as it brings all of this infrastructural glueing? regards, Achim 2014-12-17 12:13 GMT+01:00 Ramakrishna R ramakrishna...@gmail.com: Team, I want to know how to configure datasource in Felix container.

Re: Datasource with Apache Felix.
You probably know this but just to make it clear - Karaf is not directly comparable with Felix. It can use Felix or Equinox but it comes OOTB with many bundles pre-installed. That is why your datasource works in Karaf. It will work in Felix if you have appropriate bundles (that understand what datasource is, how is defined and how to deal with it) installed. In your case this is first the blueprint impl to process your blueprint config. Then it depend on what really a 'datasource' is in your case you'll need some more. Have a look at https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/karaf/features/enterprise/3.0.2/enterprise-3.0.2-features.xml to see what Karaf uses if you want to stick with those implementations. There you'll see a jdbc, jpa, ... features and what bundles they consists of. Depending on what exactly is your use case, you may or may not need to install all of them!

Well if someone says he wants to use B instead of A, I assume he/she has his reasons. That's why I tend to avoid answering like just stay with A as it doesn't really help.

Re: Datasource with Apache Felix.
The problem with the easy/flexible/enterprise ready container on top of the framework is, that a real lot of users (including me) cannot use it, because their applications *must* run within a difficult/inflexible/enterprise ready 10 years ago container. Or, in other words: A solution must be available outside Karaf anyways.

Re: Datasource with Apache Felix.
To use a blueprint datasource in pure felix you would need to install blueprint and its dependencies. If you do not use blueprint for anything else then I would rather publish the datasource using a simple bundle with just OSGi API. Simply create and publish the DataSource in an Activator. An alternative is to use pax-jdbc. See https://ops4j1.jira.com/wiki/display/PAXJDBC/Create+DataSource+from+config It allows to create the DataSource from just a config admin configuration.

That’s nuts. RamaKrishna, what is the issue you’re having? If you have a datasource bundle you can just install it in Felix and it will work. If not, please report the errors you get.

Otherwise you'll need to re-assemble the complete stack that is used inside Karaf. So you'll need to add the blueprint bundles first, those can be found at the Aries Project. Now you'll need to make sure you have Felix File install configured correctly and installed with your framework. For that you'll need some sort of main that does the bootstrapping of bundles that need to be part of the basic setup. ... I think I could go on for about 4 to 5 other projects you most likely would need. Again, why don't you stick to Karaf as it brings all of this infrastructural glueing? regards, Achim 2014-12-17 12:13 GMT+01:00 Ramakrishna R ramakrishna...@gmail.com: Team, I want to know how to configure datasource in Felix container. I have a blueprint that contains datasource info, this i want to make work in Felix. In Karaf when i put it in deploy folder it works perfectly.
