spring-osgi test support, remote repository, and SCR
I'm trying to run an integration test for our application using spring-osgi
testing framework. What i'm trying to do is:
1. Extend AbstractConfigurableBundleCreatorTests and have it startup the
felix container and deploy the test class as a bundle
2. Use the RepositoryAdmin to download and install our application bundles.
3. Get a hold of SCR managed services and invoke methods to run the test.
I have it downloading and installing the bundles, but i can't find a way of
finding and invoking component services from the bundle context. Is there a
way of finding the services declared using the scr.service tag via the
bundleContext? Are there any alternate paths to integration testing inside
an OSGI container?
Thanks,
Tom Litton

Awesome. Sounds like exactly what I am looking for.
(I'm using Maven btw)

Well, I have been working with Peter to get the latest version of BND
integration testing to work in the Felix setup. Some of the issues are
related to our use of Maven, so they might not impact you if you aren't
using maven. From what I understand, the integration testing features
are available in the normal BND release JAR, they just aren't documented
yet.
BND leverages the new standard launching and embedding API to start the
framework and install bundles into it. I won't claim to understand all
the setup details, but I think it does make life a little easier for me.
The main bonus, I think, is that I don't actually have to create a bunch
of separate projects for every test bundle. I can have one project from
which BND creates a bunch of different bundles on the fly when I perform
the test. This might not be important for some people, but when testing
the framework itself, it is quite nice to not actually have to have a
separate project for each test bundle, since I will ultimately need lots
of different test bundles.
I have fixed one last issue I was having locally, but I was waiting to
discuss it with Peter to see if he could integrate the patch. Then I
will try to post something with some simple instructions.

There is PAX Exam (aka PAX Drone).
I am also looking into using BND for integration testing, which is what
the OSGi Alliance is now using for their setup. I was going to try to
make something available as an example, but I have been running into a
few issues that need to be ironed out first.

I do not exactly understand what you are up to with respect to
"scr.service tag": Are you referring to the Maven SCR Plugin
@scr.service tag used in conjunction with @scr.component ? Are you thus
trying to automagically find out about components ?
If this is the case, there are two options here: The first option is
very portable but requires much hand-work: extract the SCR declaration
files from the bundles and parse them for the information you need.
The second option depends on using the Apache Felix Declarative Services
implementation: This registers a helper service
org.apache.felix.scr.ScrService, which can be queried for components.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Felix
