Is there a way to listen to osgi:install event on karaf 2.2.9

[anair <as...@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

I have a requirement where we need to programmatically install all the
bundles in cache after it has been cleared. I was thinking of writing the
bundle symbolic name to a file, (any file) so that we can keep a track of
all the bundles installed by the user using the osgi:install command. We
plan to extend it to let the user install the bundle from the obr
repository. Since this goes to cache we do not know a way of doing this now.
So my question is, is it possible to achieve this in karaf 2.2.9? I think I
need to listen to some event that is being generated when a bundle gets
installed. Is this the right approach or am I in the wrong track?

Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Asha

Sorry, looks like I need to register the listener as well. I was not aware of
this step. I am thinking of creating an activator class where I can register
the listener. I hope this is the right approach. Lets see how it goes.

regards,

Asha

Hi Jean-Baptiste,

Thank you for your response. I tried this approach. I created a class to an
already existing service that implements SynchronousBundleListener and added
some log statements in the bundleChanged method. I then installed a bundle
using 'osgi:install'. I did not see the statements in my log. I then created
a class that implements ServiceListener and added the log statements in the
serviceChanged method. I then installed the same bundle using osgi:install.
This prints the statements. I am not sure what I am missing here or if it is
the right approach to being with.

Pardon my ignorance as I am a newbie to osgi and karaf.

regards,

Asha

Hi Asha,

You can create a class that implements 
org.osgi.framework.SynchronousBundleListener (and register it as an OSGi 
service).

Like this, you will catch all events on bundle.
