[jira] Commented: (DERBY-4120) derbyclient.jar is not a complete
OSGi bundle
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4120?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12998932#comment-12998932 ]
Simon Chemouil commented on DERBY-4120:
---------------------------------------
Using 10.6.1, we experienced a problem with the manifest of derbyclient.jar which exports org.apache.derby.jdbc, a package that is *already* exported by derby.jar. It is thus impossible to use them both at the same time, in the same OSGi container, because the resolver will do the package wiring with only one of these. In our case it prevented us from using the Embedded JDBC driver from derby.jar.
Three fixes are possible:
- change the name of the jdbc driver package of derbyclient (e.g org.apache.derby.client.jdbc). That's the cleanest solution, even though it might break code. The *old* package name could be kept for backwards compatibility but not exported, so only non-OSGi installations would be affected.
- make derbyclient a "fragment" bundle of derby.jar, so they would be merged at runtime. I don't think this is proper, because it would imply a dependency of derbyclient on derby (that doesn't currently exist), and I'm not sure it makes sense. Then again, I don't know derby at all :-). I'm just integrating code that's using it.
- use the split-package directive to tell the OSGi framework to do more complex package wiring, this is not recommanded though, but it's a solution. See http://code9.com/2008/08/22/tip-split-packages-and-visibility/ (google has more on the topic)
So I believe this bug should be re-opened. Thanks

> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Eclipse Plug-in, Services
> Affects Versions: 10.4.2.0
> Environment: OSGi
> Reporter: JJ Snyder
> Assignee: Bryan Pendleton
> Fix For: 10.5.3.1, 10.6.1.0

> Attachments: addToManifest.diff

>
> The manifest in derbyclient.jar is incomplete for usage in OSGi. There are no packages exported. This appears to only be a problem in standalone equinox (outside of eclipse). Note that I did not try other OSGi containers.
> The fix is relatively simple. Adding the Export-Package manifest header should take care of the problem.
