----------------------------------------

             Summary: Jena module has Simple dependency, SPI will never work
                 Key: COMMONSRDF-73
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMMONSRDF-73
             Project: Apache Commons RDF
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: jena
    Affects Versions: 0.3.0
            Reporter: Marco Brandizi


I'm trying to setup the RDF object one should use with Commons-RDF in a transparent way, using the SPI mechanism, ServiceLoader and META-INF/org.apache.commons.rdf.api.RDF. 

This is the code I'm using:

{quote}
private synchronized static RDF getDefaultRdf () 
{
	if ( defaultRdf != null ) return defaultRdf;
	
	ServiceLoader<RDF> loader = ServiceLoader.load ( RDF.class );
	Iterator<RDF> itr = loader.iterator();
	
	if ( !itr.hasNext () ) throw new RdfException (
		"No implementation found for Commons RDF, please, review your dependencies/classpath"
	);
	defaultRdf = itr.next();
	if ( itr.hasNext () ) log.warn ( 
		"More than one RDF instance available for Commons RDF, taking the first one ({})", 
		itr.next ().getClass ().getName () 
	);	
	
	return defaultRdf;
}
{quote}

I've done a first test with the Jena module (commons-rdf-jena). SPI is broken by the fact this module also declares commons-rdf-simple as one of its dependencies. At least in Maven, the META-INF in commons-rdf-simple is the first that is met in the classpath and the simple implementation is the one that is picked by the code above, as reported by the warning. I expect the Jena implementation to be pulled up when I link the jena module as the only dependency.

Such dependency should be removed. I've given a look at the source files and it seem the simple module is only used for testing purposes (but physically is in the main code folders).
