OSGi bundle configuration file
Hi guys,
I have a few OSGi bundles written using Equinox, and they were deployed
under the Equinox framework. Now I am trying to deploy them under Karaf.
However, I have some properties that these bundles would read from the
/configuration/config.ini file under the Equinox framework before the
bundles start. Under Karaf, I am having troubles to find the place/file to
store those bundle properties.
I tried to follow some online posts, and but they seem to be a bit
complicated than how Equinox framework handles this. Is there a particular
file that I can just put these bundle properties in? I also tried to create
a mybundlename.cfg file in the /etc folder. However, it didn't work. Could
anyone please tell me what I should do?
Many thanks!
Sam

Hi JB,
Thanks for the quick response. I tried to include the bundle properties in
the config.properties file, but it didn't seem to work.
I created a etc/my.bundle.name.cfg file. I was able to see it when typing
config:list in the karaf console, and the Pid is the bundle name, and I can
see the bundle properties. However, the bundle still wouldn't work
correctly. Is there anything else I need to do? Do I need to recreate my
bundle? When you said "your bundle has to use ConfigAdmin", could you
please elaborate a little bit?
Thanks again!
Sam

Hi Sam,
AFAIR, Equinox uses system properties, so you can try to put it in
config.properties.
If you want to use etc/my.bundle.name.cfg, your bundle has to use
ConfigAdmin.

Hi,
Besides remove the whole data folder, I believe refresh your customer bundles which need read properties can also pick up the change.

Hi Christian,
The problem seems to be solved, after I placed the bundle properties into
the system.properties file. However, the /data folder needs to be removed
before starting karaf. This could be why it didn't work the first time I
tried to use system.properties file.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your suggestion.
Best,
Sam

Re: OSGi bundle configuration file
Posted by Christian Schneider <ch...@die-schneider.net>.
Hi Sam,
how did you read the config.ini? Did you directly open a File using the
relative path configuration/config.ini? This could also work in Karaf
but is not really recommended as you should not assume where the current
directory is. So using the config admin service would be the recommended
way to do configurations in OSGi. On the other hand I am not sure plain
Equinox already has a working config admin service implementation.
So you may have to install the felix config admin service impl and felix
file install to get the same functionality.

Re: OSGi bundle configuration file
Posted by Sam Liu <vi...@gmail.com>.
Thank you, Christian. I am aware of your tutorial, and have been trying to
follow that.
Just wanted to make it clear, please allow me to describe my problem again:
I have two OSGi bundles which were running under Equinox OSGi framework.
The two bundles would read some properties/parameters when they started,
e.g., host ip address, port, container name, etc., from the
configuration/config.ini file under the Equinox framework.
Now when I deploy the two bundles into karaf /deploy folder, the two
bundles would try to start when karaf starts, but they quickly failed since
they are not able to read the properties/parameters, no matter where I put
these properties, in the etc/config.properties or system.properties or
my.bundle.name.cfg files.
So back to what you have suggested, a fundamental question I have is do I
need to recreate my bundle using config admin service?
Thanks!
Sam

Re: OSGi bundle configuration file

Hi Sam,
If you are talking about configuration properties for your bundles then
you should consider using the config admin service.
See:
http://www.liquid-reality.de/display/liquid/2011/09/23/Karaf+Tutorial+Part+2+-+Using+the+Configuration+Admin+Service
Karaf also allows to access the properties from etc/system.properties as
System.getProperty("...")
