Why do i need to put felix.jar in the path if jar file is embeding
felix?
Hi..
I have written a java application which launches felix. Here i have set the
external library and set the felix.jar. When i lauch the application it
works fine. i dint put the felix.jar in current dir of the applicaiton.
It simply worked.It directly takes the jar from external library path which
i have configured in eclipse project proerties
Now, I have witten a jar file which embeds felix. This jar file i am loading
in another java applcation. Now that i am trying to launch this new
application. It doesnt work. It requires felix.jar to be present in the
current working dir of the application.
Why this behavious is like this? Why this setup is not taking the felix.jar
from the external library?
Regards
Nasir

Ok. Still sounds like an IDE issue, perhaps you should try to get it working
from the command line and see if it works as you would expect.

No, you should be able to create a framework instance without any

felix?
Posted by Mahammad Nasir <ma...@huawei.com>.
If I don't put the felix.jar in application current dir, its not able to
instantiate (or load the class).
I canot send the current code as it is, But later I will try to create a
similar example project.
I will spend some more time on it. May be I am doing some thing stupid!
One more thing, I had debugged equinox earlier. Which had the properties
like osgi.framework path etc.
Is there anything in felix which we need to configure?
Thanks a lot for your help.

I am still not really sure from your description what is going on. I don't
use Eclipse that much. I am not sure why putting felix.jar in the
application's working directory would have any impact whatsoever, since that
sounds like an IDE issue.
The important part if you are using the FrameworkFactory approach is for
your lookup of the factory to succeed, the felix.jar must be on your class
path so it can be discovered.
Is this something small you can send to me privately?

I am still not really sure from your description what is going on. I
don't use Eclipse that much. I am not sure why putting felix.jar in the
application's working directory would have any impact whatsoever, since
that sounds like an IDE issue.
The important part if you are using the FrameworkFactory approach is for
your lookup of the factory to succeed, the felix.jar must be on your
class path so it can be discovered.

Both the cases I am instanciating same way.
Like Felix new Felix(map)// map sets only systempackages.extra.
Even equinox behaves the same way.
I am using latest felix which supporp Factory.

From your description, it is not really clear what is not working.
How are you creating your framework instance?
The Felix class doesn't really make any assumptions about its directory, but
the default launcher does.
