Hi Tim, > java.lang.ClassCastException: > org.apache.felix.bundlerepository.impl.RepositoryAdminImpl cannot be > cast to org.apache.felix.bundlerepository.RepositoryAdmin
This happens when the RepositoryAdmin interface is loaded from a different classloader than where the RepositoryAdminImpl loads it from. You need to check that the bundle that runs your code has an import on the org.apache.felix.bundlerepository package like this: Import-Package: org.apache.felix.bundlerepository;version="[1.0,2)" and is wired to the same bundle where you get the RepositoryAdminImpl from. > By the way, is there javadoc for Felix? I can't seem to find any. If you're looking for documentation on Felix, it might be best to look for general OSGi Framework documentation. You can find information on the Felix Framework in the OSGi Core R5 specs [1] or in one of the many books and web articles about the OSGi framework. For documentation about the Bundle Repository, it might be worth looking at the OSGi R5 Enterprise Specs (also at [1]). Chapter 132 describes the OSGi Repository Service. Since version 2.0.x this is now also implemented by Felix OBR so using that gives you a standard API to work with the Repository.
