Hi, You can extract the resolution chain from that message:

Also note that > the “usl-fraudcheck-api” module does NOT have a features file, which seems > wrong to me. I fear you misunderstand the difference between a feature file and bundles. First of all a bundle is a jar with OSGi Manifest entries declaring Package-Imports and Package Exports. Package-Imports are such "requirements" For example your com.att.detsusl.usl-fraudcheck-api declares an Import Package requirement, or better an osgi.wiring.package requirement for a package javax.validation in a specific version range. In that case it needs to be at least 1.1.0 but not any higher then 2.0.0. A feature file is something used in the context of Karaf, it's not part of any OSGi spec. Such feature files usually declare how to install an application consistent of more then one bundle in a go. So in your case that would be the usl-fraudcheck part of your application. >From your saying I take that your sub-modules aren't cleanly separated so it seems like your usl-fraudcheck-impl maven module not only contains the implementation bundle for the api but also a feature file. >From a maven POV this is a bad thing, as you usually have one module for one artifact. Instead of that I would try to create a separate submodule for the karaf feature. For example have one feature file which consists of multiple features, all of which are enough to be used standalone. If one of the features depends on another feature you can declare such a dependency much easier. Now coming back to your issue, you somehow also need to add a bundle to your feature which provided you with the requested javax.validation package. The official javax.validation[1] bundle already contains of the required OSGi manifest entries for Package-Import and Export so should be sufficient. regards, Achim [1] - http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Cjavax.validation%7Cvalidation-api%7C1.1.0.Final%7Cjar 2017-06-05 20:13 GMT+02:00 KARR, DAVID <dk0...@att.com>: > Clearly, I used the “hibernate-validator-osgi-karaf-features” name > because I was under the mistaken impression that the file name represented > the feature name. > > > > However, after changing that feature name reference, I’m now getting a > different but related error: > > org.osgi.service.resolver.ResolutionException: Unable to resolve root: > missing requirement [root] osgi.identity; osgi.identity=usl-fraudcheck; > type=karaf.feature; version="[2.5.0.SNAPSHOT,2.5.0.SNAPSHOT]"; > filter:="(&(osgi.identity=usl-fraudcheck)(type=karaf. > feature)(version>=2.5.0.SNAPSHOT)(version<=2.5.0.SNAPSHOT))" [caused by: > Unable to resolve usl-fraudcheck/2.5.0.SNAPSHOT: missing requirement > [usl-fraudcheck/2.5.0.SNAPSHOT] osgi.identity; > osgi.identity=com.att.detsusl.usl-fraudcheck-api; type=osgi.bundle; > version="[2.5.0.SNAPSHOT,2.5.0.SNAPSHOT]"; resolution:=mandatory [caused > by: Unable to resolve com.att.detsusl.usl-fraudcheck-api/2.5.0.SNAPSHOT: > missing requirement [com.att.detsusl.usl-fraudcheck-api/2.5.0.SNAPSHOT] > osgi.wiring.package; filter:="(&(osgi.wiring.package=javax.validation)( > version>=1.1.0)(!(version>=2.0.0)))"]] > > > > I find it a little hard to interpret these “missing requirement” errors. > Is this telling me that it’s unable to find the “javax.validation” bundle? > > > > The module that my test is in has a features file that defines a > “usl-fraudcheck” feature, which references the “usl-base” feature, which > I’ve mentioned earlier references the “hibernate-validator-osgi-features” > feature (hopefully the correct name now).
