Hi Roshan,
I may have a solution may have a solution to your problem. Yesterday I
had a chat with Achim Nierbeck from Karaf and Pax Web. We talked about
integration on OSGi
and if the NMR is needed or not.
So while using the NMR is one option for you Achim also told me he had
succesfully used the seda component to talk between bundles. He simply
published the seda component with interface Component as an
OSGi service. Then he added a service reference to the other bundles. In
spring having a bean with id seda means for camel that there is a
component seda. Without spring you can simply
add the component by hand.
So this could be an easy solution. It is quite elegant as it only needs
to register / reference the component once and then it can be used like
normal.

Hi,
I am looking for an osgi camel component that acts sort of like a "direct/seda"
endpoint between bundles.
For example,
Bundle A:
from("something").to("osgidirect:endpoint")
Bundle B:
from("osgidirect:endpoint")...
Bundle C:
from("osgidirect:endpoint")...
I have been able to develop something like this and it is working in the OSGi
container, but I was wondering if there is something already available out
there like this.
If not, I can explain how I did this, and get your advice on how to proceed.
So the component works by registering and consuming osgi services. The Consumer gets registered as
an OSGi service with property (endpointName="endpoint"), the Producer pulls all services
with an OSGi filter of (endpointName="endpoint"). And all this seems to work.
My only issue is how I access the BundleContext. To be able to register and
consume services, I need access to the BundleContext of the bundles that are
consuming/producing (Bundle A/B/C). The way I have gotten around this right
now, is to make sure that I always define the Consumer as a Spring Bean, and
implement BundleContextAware, so that Spring DM will inject the BundleContext.
However, I don't want to impose this restriction. Looking through the source
code, I noticed that the OsgiCamelContext (or OsgiSpringCamelContext) holds the
bundleContext as a private variable. Is there anyway we could expose that
bundleContext somewhere on the context so that when I create the
Consumer/Producer I can pull this from the CamelContext in some way? (Or is it
exposed someway already that I haven't seen?)
Thanks so much!
Roshan
