Hi, The org.osgi.service.jdbc.DataSourceFactory service is an OSGi standard, not part of Karaf (hence the org.osgi package name). You can find the specification chapter in the OSGi compendium. If you look at the H2 bundle you'll also see that H2 actually implements this standard directly.
Anyway, your problem occurs because you are passing a String class name to DBCP. DBCP is then attempting to dynamically load this class, which fails because the DBCP bundle has no visibility of the database implementation class (which is as it should be). Effectively the BasicDataSource can't be configured safely in OSGi because of this. You can assemble a DBCP pool in your blueprint file, using the DataSourceFactory service to get hold of a DataSource or Driver, and setting up the pool using a set of beans (this is described in the DBCP docs for custom pool setup). If you insist on not using the standard then you need to embed the whole of DBCP into your bundle and add the imports for the database drivers, which is even smellier than what was being suggested in my previous email as you will also drag in DBCP's dependencies. Another standard (technically a draft pending release later this year) that would probably help you is OSGi Transaction Control. This makes it a lot easier to safely get hold of a database connection and to use it in transactions. There's an implementation of this hosted at Apache Aries if you're interested.
