Hi Philip,

For Karaf, you probably have to install the dependency bundles first.

Using enRoute, it creates an "uber" jar embedding all jar files required for execution. You don't need a container: it's a regular standalone jar application that you run with java -jar.

Karaf uses a modular approach where your bundles are very light, and you install dependency bundles in Karaf (that other bundles can use). That's why we have Karaf Features to install all in a row.

So, if you are interested by Karaf, I can help you to create a Karaf feature for your application or at least provide the commands you should do to install the dependency bundles.

Regards
JB

Hallo Ray, hallo JB,

thanks for your reply :-).

Maybe I have not clearly described the problem. I think you might have 
misunderstood it.
When compiling the application, the runable app.jar will be generated. This is 
working fine. All dependencies are in place and I can start it.

Unfortunately, I am facing performance issues. Probably, these are related to 
the CMIS connection, but I would like to find the bottle necks by monitoring 
the app.
My first approach was, to connect VisualVM to the packaged app. But - at least 
for me - it was not possible.

Then, I followed JB's suggestion to use Karaf. But I've problems to deploy the 
app to Karaf as I see missing dependencies.

I think I do not get the big picture here.
Based on JB's latest reply, I assume that with enRoute I do not have to use any 
container like Karaf?
enRoute is for building standalone apps?
When using the "classic" OSGi it would be necessary to use an container, right?

Is the runnable jar the way of deploying enRoute apps?
My understand was, that this is used for testing and it should be deployed to 
an application server / container like Karaf.

Best,
Philipp

     Hi,
Using enRoute, I guess you want to have an executable jar. In that case,
     you don't need Karaf.
As an alternative, you can package your application as "pure" OSGi
     bundles (and eventually release), and deploy on Karaf or package with 
Karaf.
Packaging with Karaf will give you an execute archive. Regarding log, you are right, Karaf provides a log service abstracting
     lot of different frameworks. The only thing you have to do is to import
     the package of the logging framework you are using (logback, slf4j,
     whatever).
Regards
     JB

I read on the Karaf website, that Karaf can already unify the logging 
configuration.
     > As I understood, logback is also trying to unify the configuration over 
all popular logging frameworks. Does it just work or do I have to adapt anything?
