STS 3.1.0 and Sprng Dynamic Modules (OSGI)

[Passo Giau]

Hello,

I've only switched to STS 3.1.0 and am trying a few things, among them Spring Dynamic Modules. I have imported all the modules from the dist and lib directories and before doing anything else created an OSGI Framework test configuration, where I selected the org.springframework.bundle.osgi.extender bundle and clicked on �Add Required Bundles�. When I ran the configuration I got this huge list of errors that I trimmed (below). It appears to be a basic configuration, not much room for error. Any advice? TIA,

Hey!

I would like to suggest to you to go with the newer versions of the Spring support for OSGi, which is part of the Eclipse Gemini project, as far as I know. The successor of the Spring Dynamic Modules project is the OSGi Blueprint specification and its reference implementation that is part of the Gemini project at Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org/gemini/blueprint/).

They also have forums and newsgroups to discuss issues and ask questions around that. I think that is a much better choice because more OSGi people are hanging around to help you with those issues.

HTH,
Martin

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the complexity of figuring out what is where and what it needs. It appears that you are implying that Spring 3.1 is too old and I need to move to 3.2?

Thanks again,

[Martin Lippert]

Hey!

No, you don't need to move to Spring 3.2. All I am suggesting is to use Gemini Blueprint (see above) instead of Spring DM and ask questions regarding OSGi support on their forums in order to get support for it. Since Gemini Blueprint is the successor of Spring DM, I would strongly recommend to use that instead of Spring Dynamic Modules.

HTH,
Martin

Oh, I see now. Thank you for clearing this up for me.
