Problems using implementation.osgi with binding.rmi

[Da...@empolis.com]

Hi all it's me again, but with something completely different :-)

I'm trying to combine implementation.osgi with binding.rmi. I have the
following component defined:

<component name="CrawlerControllerComponent">
    <t:implementation.osgi
bundleSymbolicName="org.eclipse.eilf.connectivity.framework"
classes="org.eclipse.eilf.connectivity.framework.impl.CrawlerControllerI
mpl"/>
    <service name="OSGiCrawlerController">
        <interface.java
interface="org.eclipse.eilf.connectivity.framework.CrawlerController" />
    </service>
    <reference name="crawlers" multiplicity="0..n"
target="FileCrawlerComponent WebCrawlerComponent"/>
    <reference name="connectivityManager"
target="ConnectivityManagerComponent">
        <tuscany:binding.rmi
xmlns:tuscany="http://tuscany.apache.org/xmlns/sca/1.0" host="localhost"
port="8099" serviceName="ConnectivityManagerRMI"/>
    </reference>					
</component>


The targets FileCrawlerComponent and WebCrawlerComponent are defined in
the same composite file, the ConnectivityManagerComponent is defined in
a separate composite file. When I start a SCADomain I get the following
warning:

17.09.2008 18:18:39
org.apache.tuscany.sca.assembly.builder.impl.ComponentReferenceWireBuild
erImpl
WARNUNG: Component reference target not found, it might be a remote
service running elsewhere in the SCA Domain: Composite =
{http://services}Services Service = ConnectivityManagerComponent
I guess this is quite ok as this component is remote and defined in
another composite file.

If I execute a method on a ServiceReference to
CrawlerControllerComponent the references are initialized. There I get
the following Exception on reference " connectivityManager":

This happens because in OSGiImplementationProvider.java:936
wire.getTarget() returns null.
I tried <reference name="connectivityManager" multiplicity="0..1"
target="ConnectivityManagerComponent"> but the error remains.

I could accept such an exception when I call a method on the reference
and the Service is not available, but during initialization ?
At leats if I set multiplicity to 0..1 a missing reference should be no
problem.

Bye,
Daniel
