Hi all, I've read some messages in this mailing list ( last I found was in August 2018 ), but I think, I have something different scenario.
So, up until today ( when I was doing clean environment setup ) I was able to use define Spring Beans using XML ( as I am porting application, this is like top feature ), but now - out of the blue, I've started to get errors on deployment: 12:13:12.912 INFO [pool-33-thread-1] Generated blueprint for bundle framework.service/5.0.1.SNAPSHOT at /path/to/assemblies/apache-karaf/target/assembly/data/tmp/blueprint-spring-extender1831035315356717600.xml 12:13:12.917 INFO [pool-33-thread-1] Bundle framework.service/5.0.1.SNAPSHOT is waiting for namespace handlers [ http://www.springframework.org/schema/osgi] 12:13:12.895 INFO [features-3-thread-1] org.apache.aries.blueprint.spring.extender/0.4.0 12:13:12.935 WARN [Blueprint Extender: 1] No URL is defined for schema http://www.springframework.org/schema/osgi.

I went over GIT commits ( for Karaf 4.2.2, last few weeks ), but did not find anything regarding Spring. I am using Spring 4.3.x ( from Karaf features ). I have spring-beans.xml inside /META-INF/spring/ folder, and I used http://www.springframework.org/schema/osgi namespace to "import" osgi:reference -- and this all worked like a charm. Now I get this error and no way to find any solution. I "kind of" gave up ( as I read JB's comments - why not use ( only ) Blueprint ), so I gave it a try. But than I was starting getting even more strange errors, for example Blueprint failed to set property defined in parent class, or create instance that takes Map as input into class constructor - as I failed to find matching property descriptor or class constructor. Than I went back to original question ... what has changed, that http://www.springframework.org/schema/osgi has stopped working ( as far as I know, spring-dm is even older ( based on the mailing messages I've read ) ), so I've uses aries-blueprint-spring. What am I missing? Kind Regards, Miroslav -- Miroslav Beranič MIBESIS +386(0)40/814-843 miroslav.bera...@mibesis.si http://www.mibesis.si
