[discussion] thoughts on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-1545 ?

Hi,

I have addressed my concerns on this enhancement, and would like to hear
more from dev group.

Big Thanks

-Dan

Hi Guillaume,

I am living dangerously by placing my stand-alone apps's jars under lib
directory since karaf is currently pushing those jars into osgi framework
classloader?

Thanks

The only change I suggested is to slightly alter the shell script to add
lib/system/*.jar to the classpath.
That keeps all existing installation unchanged and allow more control for
the jdbc driver use case.
We need to correctly document the classloading mechanism, but it's a
minimal change which imho cleanly support the needed use case.

Re: [discussion] thoughts on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-1545 ?

Posted by Dan Tran <da...@gmail.com>.
For my case, my distribution consists of Karaf container + our bunbles, + a
bunch of stand alone apps with bootstrap/startup script generated by
appassembler-maven-plugin[1].

The standalone apps ( command line utilities, swing app, etc ) have its
jars placed under lib directory where the startup/boostrap script will use
to construct the extract classpath.

Now, base on Guillaume Nodet comments, I have to think hard about my
approach, since karaf indirectly load all the jars under lib directory to
its class loader.  The question here, which class loader are we talking
about here ( system? ) and which component under karaf would care about
this hidden feature?

Thanks

Will revert to karaf prefix in the lib and add a sub directory for any required external jar without karat prefix.

Re: [discussion] thoughts on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-1545 ?

Posted by Guillaume Nodet <gn...@apache.org>.
AFAIK, all jar files in the lib folder are added to the classpath, so if
anyone want to add jars globally without using bundles, that's the way to
go.
See
https://github.com/apache/karaf/blob/trunk/main/src/main/java/org/apache/karaf/main/Main.java#L266

The lib/ext lib/endorsed and lib/karaf-*.jar are used to create the JVM
application classloader and make sure the initial environment is quite safe
and undisturbed.
All other lib/*.jar files are added to the classloader used to create the
OSGi framework and should be available

For JDBC drivers, they need to be available from the application
classloader, so what could be done without changing the current behavior
and introducing incompatibilities is to add a lib/app/ folder which would
be added to the application classloader (i.e. in the shell scripts).

Thoughts ?

Re: [discussion] thoughts on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-1545 ?

Posted by Achim Nierbeck <bc...@googlemail.com>.
Hi,

ok, I'd like to get the discussion into the dev-list away from the jira
issue :-)

Now, I've heard both sides of the story and tbh, it's not an easy thing
here.
I agree that it's not a understandable solution to have bootloaded jars
with a karaf- prefix.
I'm not sure about the bundle looking for external jars in the lib folder,
it feels almost like an
extra file-installer thing bound to the lib folder.
@Dan could you please elaborate your use-case for placing your custom
libraries in this folder
and how you use them?

I also agree that a JDBC driver should be used as a bundle and not like a
bootloader jar, though I'm not sure
if this is also doable for the failover configuration.
One of the comments mentioned that it might be a better solution to look
for bootloaded jars in the
lib/karaf folder. Right now to me it sounds most likely to be the only
working solution. Especially since we
do have those "extra" bundles that are managed by the karaf main class.

regards, Achim
