[jira] [Commented] (DBCP-363) dbcp bundle should use DynamicImport

["Holger Hoffstätte (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DBCP-363?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13047865#comment-13047865 ] 

Holger Hoffstätte commented on DBCP-363:
----------------------------------------

The whole purpose of OSGi is to *prevent* the kind of unfettered access and more or less random class wiring established by DynamicImport; it's a bad practice that should die out. Instead of letting dbcp blindly create instances the right thing to do would be use proper OSGi lookup of a DataSource through an OSGi-aware factory.

> The bundle provided in the maven central of the commons.dbcp doesn't have a DynamicImport defined. This resolves in following error:
> If you want to use a BasicDataSource class as dataSource and the class is provided by the osgi environment (equinox, ...) the dataSource is not able to be created due to a ClassNotFoundException. If the bundle would have set DynamicImport it works. (I had to change from your bundle to the commons.dbcp bundle provided by servicemix, because there the DynamicImport is set)
