Re: Felix and JavaFX
I spent most of the day yesterday googling to find out if there is a way to
build a JavaFX desktop application based upon Felix. So far I've not found
anything that advises how to do this or if it is even possible at this
stage of development.
Can anybody point me to an article that explains how, if this can be done?
TIA.
Re: Antwort: RE: Felix and JavaFX
Posted by Jerome Pommier <je...@yahoo.fr>.
I can't remember where I found the following allowing me to very simply
launch OSGI-JAVAFX apps, but I give here a skeleton that I use everywhere.
The point is that I'm using NetBeans platform, and Ant, (it seems to be
also your case) because I can't be be connected to www.
The local Ant build's file for NetBeans is changed according to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="test" default="default" basedir=".">
<description>Builds, tests, and runs the project test.</description>
<import file="nbproject/build-impl.xml"/>
<property name="felix.dir" value="../../osgi_lib/tasks"/>
<property name="test.dir" value=".."/>
<taskdef name="ipojo"
classname="org.apache.felix.ipojo.task.IPojoTask"
classpath="${felix.dir}/org.apache.felix.ipojo.ant-1.12.1.jar"/>
<taskdef resource="aQute/bnd/ant/taskdef.properties"
classpath="${felix.dir}/bnd-1.50.0.jar"/>
<target depends="init,compile,-pre-pre-jar" name="-do-jar">
<bnd
classpath="${build.dir}/classes"
files="bind.bnd"
output="${dist.jar}"
failok="false"
exceptions="true" />
<ipojo input="${dist.jar}" classpath="${javac.classpath}" />
<copy file="${dist.jar}" todir="${test.dir}/bundles"/>
</target>
</project>
Futhermore, in the config file I added these lines:

for JAVAFX classes to be imported. Also note that sometimes, JAVAFX classes
that are not in your java file's import section, must explicitly appeared in
the import-package's declaration of the bnd file. However Felix flags these
missing classes at run time.
*I) StageService bundle*
The first bundle is a simple service
package em.widget.stage.service;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public interface StageService {
public String STAGE_NAME = "stage.name";
public Stage getStage();
}
with a simple method getStage(). Each JAVAFX widget (a Stage in JAVAFX
defining a "window" on the screen) implements this service. Its name is the
service property's String defined by STAGE_NAME.
*II) JAVAFX Launching bundle*
The following lines are the JAVAFX launcher. They implement a StageService
with no name.
package em.widget.stage.impl;
import em.widget.stage.service.StageService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import org.apache.felix.ipojo.annotations.Component;
import org.apache.felix.ipojo.annotations.Provides;
@Component
@Provides
public class StageImpl extends Application implements StageService {
private static Stage pstage = null;
private static Thread t;
/**
* The local Stage is sets.
*
* @param primaryStage The stage
* @throws Exception
*/
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
pstage = primaryStage;
synchronized (t) {
t.notify();
}
}
@Override
public Stage getStage() {
if (pstage == null) {
Executors.defaultThreadFactory().newThread(() -> {
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(this.getClass().getClassLoader());
launch();
}).start();
t = Thread.currentThread();
synchronized (t) {
try {
t.wait();
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(StageService.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
}
return pstage;
}
}
*III) Defining your widget.*
You have now to write your widgets like the following one which is a JAVAFX
interface to connection's parameters. The fxml file is within the package
directory, and the four lines below DBWidget's creator take into account the
special OSGI class loader. Everything else is usual in JAVAFX apps.
package em.widget.connection.impl;
import em.persistence.service.ConnectionService;

String oldValue, String newValue) {
try {
double t = Integer.valueOf(newValue);
if (t <= 0) {
threadnumber.setText(oldValue);
}
} catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
threadnumber.setText("1");
}
}
};
public ConnectionWidgetImpl() {

fxmlLoader.setLocation(getClass().getResource("Widget.fxml"));
// Avoid the controller in fxml file, and declares itself as the
controller
fxmlLoader.setController(this);
theStage = new Stage();
theStage.setOnCloseRequest(new EventHandler<WindowEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(WindowEvent event) {
try {
ServiceReference[] sr =
context.getServiceReferences(StageService.class.getName(), "(" +
StageService.STAGE_KIND + "=*)");
for (ServiceReference sr1 : sr) {
((StageService)
context.getService(sr1)).getStage().close();
}
context.getBundle(0).stop();
} catch (InvalidSyntaxException | BundleException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(ConnectionWidgetImpl.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE,
null, ex);
}
}
});
try {
theStage.setTitle("DataBase Connection");
theStage.setScene(new Scene(fxmlLoader.load()));
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(ConnectionWidgetImpl.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE,
null, ex);
}
adminuser.textProperty().bindBidirectional(connectionService.getAdminUser());
ip.textProperty().bindBidirectional(connectionService.getIP());
port.textProperty().bindBidirectional(connectionService.getPort());
user.textProperty().bindBidirectional(connectionService.getUser());

button1.setText("Connect");
button1.setStyle("-fx-color:tomato");
}
@Override
public Stage getStage() {
return theStage;
}
@FXML
public void connect(ActionEvent ae) {
......
}
*IV) Starting your app*
After calling "mainStageService.getStage();" in the following code, the
JAVAFX thread is running, and it's simple for the previous widget to be
displayed on screen.
package em.test;
import java.util.Properties;
import org.apache.felix.ipojo.ConfigurationException;

StageService mainStageService = (StageService)
context.getService(stageServiceRef);
// Then start the FX thread
mainStageService.getStage();
// Creates a widget on FX thread.
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
Properties d = new Properties();
d.put(StageService.STAGE_KIND, "DBConnect");

JP:
Thanks for the additional information. I've seen some indication that the
Felix team are considering how to handle the JavaFX issues as well.
Perhaps it is time to investigate Karaf further -- but it adds a lot of
additional capabilities that a client doesn't actually need if I understand
correctly. When I get back to programming I'll have to investigate
further the options offered by Karaf. Right now I'm concentrating on
getting my knee replacement to respond to therapy. Narcotics make me feel
and act loopy so best I absent myself for a while. But I suspect I'm not
the only one interested in this subject and I suppose others will chime in
as time passes.

Re: Antwort: RE: Felix and JavaFX
Posted by Neil Bartlett <nj...@gmail.com>.
In fact you ARE doing the things explained in Paul Bakker’s article. Or rather, Karaf does them for you: it sets up the system bundle exports using the contents of jre.properties.
By default Felix (and all other OSGi frameworks that I’m aware of) exports only the JavaSE standard packages. JavaFX is not part of JavaSE standard, therefore it is not exported by default. Somebody has to add its packages to the system bundle exports — you can do this yourself with a single line of code, or you can drag in all the dependencies of Karaf. I know which I would choose.
Regards,
Neil

Ok, thanks.
At least with Karaf, there is no such "ClassNotFoundException" (JavaFX packages must declared in the jre.properties file). I don't use things explained in Paul's article.
I just need the initialize() of the class below to be called within a singleton bundle. That bundle should be started before any other which uses JavaFX. Then there is no more "primary window" and any bundle can show whatever things it needs.
public final class FXInitializer extends Application {
private static BlockingQueue<FXInitializer> sync;
/**
* Initializes the FX windowing system.
*
* @throws InterruptedException
* If initialization was cancelled due to program exit
*/
public static FXInitializer initialize() throws InterruptedException {
return initialize(new String[0]);
}
/**
* Initializes the FX windowing system.
*
* @param a
* Arguments as gave to the "main" application
* @throws InterruptedException
* If initialization was cancelled due to program exit
*/
public static FXInitializer initialize(final String... a) throws InterruptedException {
try {
Platform.setImplicitExit(false);
sync = new SynchronousQueue<>();
new Thread(() -> FXInitializer.launch(FXInitializer.class, a)).start();
return sync.take();
} finally {
sync = null;
}
}
@Override
public void start(final Stage stage) throws InterruptedException {
stage.hide();
sync.put(this);
}
}

Hi,
We are making OSGi desktop applications with JavaFX without any issue. We do not rely on Eclipse or Equinox. We are using Karaf and maven-bundle-plugin.
There is only a small workaround for startup with a special bundle which is a fake "Application" in order to start JavaFX engine.

see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5558
You basically setup the OSGi framework in your main method, register screen
and primary stage as services in (Application) start method and shutdown the
framework in (Application) stop method. The hardest part is to get all third-
party dependencies playing nice.
I'm using maven-bundle-plugin and javafx-maven-plugin.

Re: Felix and JavaFX
Posted by Paulo Renato de Athaydes <re...@hotmail.com>.
It's hard because Felix does not (or did not used to at least) export the javafx classes to bundles.
This project fixes that:

javafx-osgi - JavaFX 8.0 OSGi bundle to support JavaFX in an OSGi container
Hope it helps,

Assunto: Re: Felix and JavaFX
Hi Chuck,
Using Eclipse as an IDE does not tie you into using Equinox for your runtime.
I don’t know much about JavaFX but what is the actual problem you are experiencing with it? Isn’t it just a library like any other?

Hi Chuck,
I read through Paul’s article and it still looks very relevant and well written.
You don’t really want to use bnd directly. It’s a low-level tool… it would be like using javac and the jar tool directly from the command line, rather than via a build system. Does anybody still do that?? Fortunately the Maven integration for bnd has improved markedly since Paul’s article was written, you can read about the suite of plugins available here: https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/tree/master/maven <https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/tree/master/maven>

Neil

Hi Neil:
I'm just beginning my investigation of OSGi because I want to do things
that it sounds like OSGi was designed to do and I'm too lazy to reinvent
the wheel if it already exists. I develop desktop business applications
and my development style is already quite modular in concept but I want to
get to the next level of modularity.
Paul's article hits the nail on the head with what I am hung up on in the
"Importing JavaFX Packages" subsection. That is the first problem and Paul
lays out that there are more ahead before/if I achieve victory.
I've done a bit more reading and it sounds like the Bndtools he endorses
from Eclipse is just a more user-friendly version of Bnd so maybe I can
find a way to use the Bnd tool directly.....many challenges lie ahead it
sound like.
Thanks for your interest.

Hi Chuck,
Had another look as I would've been supirised if Paul was using Equinox ;)
but I don't see anything related to that, and the sample on that's on
GitHub runs on Felix [1]
So Eclipse (with Bndtools) is only used as IDE and as Niel already
mentioned that doesn't force you to use Equinox

Bram

Thanks Bram. I actually read that yesterday but unfortunately it's Eclipse
related and that ties me to Equinox. So far I haven't found anything to
like about Eclipse and I want true OSGi compatibility -- not tied to a
specific IDE or OSGi implementation. At least the Eclipse people are
wrestling with the issue and that is a good sign. I've done some of the
e(fx)clipse tutorials as well but, again, it makes me dependent on specific
implementations.
I'm going to re-read the article and see if I've missed something
though.....
Again, thanks for your interest.
