Hello,
If I try to run the Felix framework, release 2.0.1, with default content (framework, obr, shell, shell-tui), and install additionally "org.apache.felix.http.bundle-2.0.4.jar" on top of that, the HTTP bundle won't start (will not be resolved) due to missing dependency on CM packages (Configuration Admin): ************ java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: *** Class 'org.osgi.service.cm.ManagedService' was not found. Bundle 4 does not import package 'org.osgi.service.cm', nor is the package exported by any other bundle or available from the system class loader. *** ************ [ same behavior observed for both, "http.bundle" and "http.jetty" bundles ] The manual page (http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-http-service.html) says configuration via OSGi properties and Configuration Admin is possible, but it does not imply that usage of the latter one would be mandatory.... So far, I found two work-arounds to get the HTTP service running: 1) install confadmin-1.2.4 2) install osgi.cmpn.jar (update 4.2.0) Problem with 1) is that overall I'm not intending to utilize Configuration Admin for anything useful, so I'd rather prefer not to have it loaded just because missing interface (package export). Then, looking at 2), the osgi Alliance packages are tagged as "for development purpose" .... so I'm not sure is it a good idea to use thos in production, and what eventual side effects there might be. Can anyone advise what would be the best way to move on? Could the hard dependency on Configration Admin be removed somehow in next update of the service? Many thanks in advance! br, Jiri
