Hi all,
this is my first posting to this list. I am currently researching potential solutions to the creation of an extensible Java application and OSGi/Felix appear to provide one solution, with various future proofing capabilities (for my currently simplistic requirements). So, I'm new to the world of OSGi & Felix. I'm finding the going quite tough learning about these technologies, due to the sheer volume of information, but I have finally managed to locate, build and run a sample application which seems to do almost everything I need (http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-application-demonstration.html). The only additional feature I would like is the ability to configure the embedded Felix framework to auto-install and auto-start (what Felix seems to refer to as auto-deploy) all bundle JARs found in a specified bundle folder. Felix documentation suggests that this is done by default, using the "./bundle" sub-directory of the current directory, but this doesn't seem to work for me, so I suspect the scenario is a little different with an embedded Felix framework. Can anyone point in the right direction for how to instruct Felix (when embedded into an application) to auto-deploy all JARs found in a specified folder? Thanks in advance. Dave
