distributed OSGi questions
We have an iPOJO-based web service working using the DOSGi stuff. After finally getting it working, a couple questions arise:
1) Why can't the properties specified in OSGI-INF/remote-service/remote-services.xml simply be service properties of the bundle? With the web service connection properties buried deep inside a bundle like this, it is impractical to modify these values after the bundle is deployed. Essentially, these values are "hard-coded". Short of using the Zookeeper discovery services, is there any way to have configurable web service settings?
2) Using iPOJO I tried to use a filter on my @Requires to select a service based on the value of a service property, but this doesn't seem to work for distributed services. Is there any way around this?
Thanks!

Cool, I was not aware about the list of properties inside the XML files.

As far as I understand, I think that Johan is looking for another way
to import service which is neither based on XML files nor on
discovery. (Something like an API). But, I may be completely wring :-)

Yeah, zookeeper sounds like it's a good way to go. And it seems that zookeeper itself can now also an osgi bundle: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-425
It's kind of a chicken an egg issue. You have to have zookeeper running out on the network somewhere in some osgi context, then you have to configure the connector/discovery bundle elsewhere to point to where it's running.
Luckily the zookeeper discovery bundle can be configured via fileinstall cfg file/config admin unlike clients. So this would solve some of the problem.
Thanks!

Well, the idea is that this other bundle could effectively just be a
configuration file. Granted, it's packaged as a bundle, but you could make
it such that it only contains a config file. I would think that this does
have some extra benefits as it would only have to exist for the deployer...

I'm not sure how you could take the exact same approach on the client side.
Would you manually create a service on the client side that represents the
client proxy and then expect the DOSGi implementation to use that? That
would be quite tricky.
One idea that we did actually support somewhat in CXF-DOSGi is to configure
your client side oroxies using the OSGi Config Admin Service. I'm not sure
how well this works today, but it certainly makes sense to me. If you think
it would be worth pursuing that, please file an enhancement bug for it.
And again, if you use a Discovery system like the Zookeeper-based one that
comes with CXF-DOSGi, none of these problems should exist. Your remote
service will just appear on the client side with all its properties through
the Discovery system...
Cheers,
David

You might not have to include it in the one bundle... but then you have CM issues with an entirely different bundle which actually makes the problem that much worse. Embedding it in a different bundle doesn't get around the configuration issues... it just moves them.
The DOSGi does use the service properties on the service side to expose any particular service as a web service just by including the osgi.remote.configuration.type & such as service properties. In the iPojo world these can be run-time configured in conjunction with FileInstaller in a simple cfg name=value properties file. This makes it much simpler to CM and then distribute and change from one run to the next. I wish that DOSGi would work exactly the same way on the client side when using the service. It just seems odd that it would be inconsistent.

If you use the remote-services.xml approach, you have to list all the
properties to be applied to the proxy in that remote-service.xml file.
If you use a real discovery system (e.g. the zookeeper one) all the service
properties should be sent across automatically.
On the question about embedding the remote-service.xml in a bundle... It
doesn't have to reside in the client bundle, you can put this file in any
bundle, so one way to give you flexibility is to put this file in a bundle
of its own, a proxy configuration bundle if you like. That way you don't
need to change your client bundle if your proxy configuration changes.
Hope this helps,

Well, it's what I feared. Service properties are not propagated by
DOSGi. So, if the exported service as a service property, this
property will be not propagated to the 'proxy'.
Your implementation exposed the service property, but on the importer
side, this property is not there.
For exemple, imagine that I export this service:
component = de.akquinet.gomobile.dynamokos.oracle.Oracle
factory.name = de.akquinet.gomobile.dynamokos.oracle.Oracle
instance.name = de.akquinet.gomobile.dynamokos.oracle.Oracle-0
myProp = this is a remote service <-- service property
objectClass = de.akquinet.gomobile.dynamokos.prediction.Prediction
osgi.remote.configuration.pojo.address = http://localhost:9090/oracle
osgi.remote.configuration.type = org.apache.cxf.ws
osgi.remote.interfaces = *
service.id = 52
(I got this thanks to the inspect command of Felix (felix s p x where
x the bundle id)).
On the importer side...
objectClass = de.akquinet.gomobile.dynamokos.prediction.Prediction
org.apache.cxf.remote.dsw.client = Distributed OSGi Distribution
Software Single-Bundle Distribution, version : 1.1.0.SNAPSHOT
org.apache.cxf.ws.address = http://localhost:9090/oracle
osgi.remote.endpoint.id = 6874d604-c944-4020-998b-c14b23ed340e
osgi.remote.service.interfaces = <unknown value type>
service.id = 48
service.imported = true
service.imported.configs = org.apache.cxf.ws
The service is there, but the service property 'myProp' is not there...

My requires looks like this:
@Requires(filter="(name=web_service)", optional=true, nullable=false)
MyInterface my;
With the filter in place, my will be null. If I take out the filter,
my is correctly assigned to the remote service.
The remote service does have a service property called name assigned
to "web_service".

Hi,
I try to used a required filter on an imported service, and it has
worked.
Well, my filter was quite simple : (service.imported=true) but the
service is correctly injected.
Here is the result. The instance required twice the same remote
service. The first requirement is not filtered (only based on the
specification). The second used a filter... Both are injected.
Specification de.akquinet.gomobile.dynamokos.prediction.Prediction
Id de.akquinet.gomobile.dynamokos.prediction.Prediction
State resolved
Binding Policy dynamic
Optional false
Aggregate false
Matching Services
* 48
Used Services
Specification de.akquinet.gomobile.dynamokos.prediction.Prediction
Id Prediction
State resolved
Binding Policy dynamic
Optional true
Aggregate false
Filter (service.imported=true)
Matching Services
* 48
Used Services
Could you explain me in which case the filter does not work on a
remote service ?
Regards,
Clement
BTW, I'm not sure that remote service properties are propagated.

Hi,
I cannot really help on 1), maybe an API is provided to configure
imported services.
For 2), there is no reason the filters do not work. iPOJO filter are
just plain LDAP filter. The only things is the used service hooks
(used by DOSGi). But it should be completely transparent.
I will investigate that deeper.
Regards,
Clement
