> Section #3.8.4, Overall Search Order, of OSGi Service Platform Release 4 spec does not clearly (or I don't understand it well enough) state what should be the behavior. Relevant portions of the spec is given below:
> /1 If the class or resource is in a java.* package, the request is delegated to the parent class loader; otherwise, the search continues with the next step. If the request is delegated to the parent class loader and the class or resource is not found, then the search terminates and the request fails.
> 2 If the class or resource is from a package included in the boot delegation list (org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation), then the request is delegated to the parent class loader. If the class or resource is found there, the search ends.
> /
> Unlike point #1 above, point #2 does not mandate the search to terminate. I can understand the search terminating for java.* packages, but why for other packages? It seems Felix is terminating the search, therefore I am seeing this failure. Can anyone please clarify this? I am using "*, " because I want to see how I can make packages from some library jars available to bundles without having to set org.osgi.framework.system.packages property?
> I am hoping that if I add my library jars in system classpath and set bootdelegation="*", the library jar's content will be automatically available to other bundles even if I don't set org.osgi.framework.system.packages property. Is this not going to work?
