Repository Admin, OBR, Features...

[Chris Blunck <ch...@thebluncks.com>]

Hello-

I've been looking around the web for references on how to solve a particular
problem I have with provisioning my app.  I think part of my problem is that
terms like "repository", "admin", and "features" are so generic that I
receive a lot of false positives in my results.

I understand that the org.apache.felix.karaf.features.cfg configuration is
used by the Features bundle to determine where to look for feature XML
files.

I also understand that feature XML files can use obr as a protocol.  And I
understand OBR.

The part I'm missing is:  how do I give OBR a list of URLs without
interactively using the "obr add-url" command?

Is there a configadmin .cfg file that OBR uses?  I have found several
references to the property obr.repository.url as well as the Repository
Admin service.

My hunch is that OBR delegates to the Repository Admin service but I don't
know how to configure that either.

Any clues?


Thanks in advance,

-Chris

As it is discussed in the other thread, features do not really support obr
very well.
The obr url handler does not help with dependencies at all, it just points
to a resource.
It's basically the same kind of mechanism than using the mvn url handler.
