Is there a way to specify relative urls in the felix/conf/conf/config.properties file?
For example, I need to use Apache Aries dynamic weaving to integrate the mp3spi jar into the osgi container. This means that the aries dynamic weaving libraries need to be started before any of the other bundles that depend on them. I'm trying to do this with the following configuration parameters: felix.auto.deploy.dir=bundle/auto felix.auto.deploy.action=install,start felix.startlevel.bundle=2 felix.auto.start.1= \ bundle/aries/asm-all-4.0.jar \ bundle/aries/org.apache.aries.spifly.dynamic.bundle-1.0.0.jar \ bundle/aries/org.apache.aries.util-1.1.0.jar org.osgi.framework.startlevel.beginning=5 My strategy is to bump the start level of all the auto installed/started bundles to 2, and then auto start the aries bundles with a start level of 1. But when I use the above configuration the felix container reports the following error: Auto-properties install: bundle/aries/org.apache.aries.util-1.1.0.jar (org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Unable to cache bundle: bundle/aries/org.apache.aries.util-1.1.0.jar - java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: bundle/aries/org.apache.aries.util-1.1.0.jar) org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Unable to cache bundle: bundle/aries/org.apache.aries.util-1.1.0.jar at org.apache.felix.framework.Felix.installBundle(Felix.java:2969) at org.apache.felix.framework.BundleContextImpl.installBundle(BundleContextImpl.java:167) at org.apache.felix.main.AutoProcessor.processAutoProperties(AutoProcessor.java:311) at org.apache.felix.main.AutoProcessor.process(AutoProcessor.java:94) at org.apache.felix.main.Main.main(Main.java:292) Caused by: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: bundle/aries/org.apache.aries.util-1.1.0.jar at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:586) at org.apache.felix.framework.util.SecureAction.createURL(SecureAction.java:255) at org.apache.felix.framework.cache.JarRevision.initialize(JarRevision.java:148) at org.apache.felix.framework.cache.JarRevision.<init>(JarRevision.java:77) at org.apache.felix.framework.cache.BundleArchive.createRevisionFromLocation(BundleArchive.java:878) at org.apache.felix.framework.cache.BundleArchive.reviseInternal(BundleArchive.java:550) at org.apache.felix.framework.cache.BundleArchive.<init>(BundleArchive.java:153) at org.apache.felix.framework.cache.BundleCache.create(BundleCache.java:277) at org.apache.felix.framework.Felix.installBundle(Felix.java:2965) ... 4 more I do not want to specify a hard coded file:/// url for this. Maybe I am taking the wrong approach for this anyway? Any suggestions are welcomed. Thank you.
