I'm at somewhat of a loss. I'm trying to understand what the real advantage of using the Bundle Repository for installing bundles. I understand the advantage of it being able to discover dependencies and load those as well.
However, if I deploy using obr it updates the cache, but doesn't update the bundle directory. I'd like to be able to get a felix install working and then create an installer to distribute to other machines. If I use obr I'd have to include the cache directory which only has the jars as 'bundle.jar', not the real name of the jar for reference, and nothing else in the cache directory that specifies which one is which. Yes, I can look at the running ps command, but what if it's not running yet? It seems what I really need is to download the bundles I need and use the FileInstall bundle or hardcode the config (which I'd rather not). Am I missing something? Actually, I'm sure I am... just let me know please. Also, is there an OSGi Log Service already part of Felix? Or better, which Felix bundle provides the Log Service? ______________________________ Joel Schuster Senior Software Engineer NAVSYS Corporation 14960 Woodcarver Road Colorado Springs, CO 80921 (719) 481-4877 x138 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> The information contained herein is confidential and intended solely for the use of the addressees.
