OSGi Bundle Repository available for Enterprise Libraries

[Costin Leau]

Can you check whether EBR works for you now? 1.2.0 has been uploaded today into EBR: http://is.gd/F3gk

[frederic.conrotte]

Yes it works now.

Many thanks

Fred

Cool - glad to hear it works.
If the problem pops up again, please let me know whether you can d/l the artifact directly (i.e. if the link to the jar works). I've never experienced this problem myself and we try to determine whether that was an Amazon S3 glitch or something on our side.
Thanks

Hey,
In the repository FAQ it guarantees "The repository is transitively complete".
There are a few examples where this is not the case I.E.

http://www.springsource.com/reposito...sion=3.0.0.JC3

At the top it states that
"Note: this bundle has required unresolved dependencies."

This is because of the "com.sun.crypto.provider" package.

Is there a way of getting a list of the bundles with unfulfilled dependencies?
Thank you.

[Costin Leau]

Grahar, sorry for the late reply.
My suggestion is to raise this issue with the EBR project for best results. com.sun* packages are usually boot-path delegated or exported by the system bundle since they are either part of the JDK (or some extension) or cannot be distributed.
However, this differs from case to case.

Hi, I am trying to get sources for spring-beans so annotations have included documentation in eclipse.

I am adding the dependency like this as I do with my other dependencies:

<dependency org="org.springframework" name="org.springframework.beans" rev="2.5.6.SEC01" conf="default->runtime;sources" />

Though I get an error indicating that the sources configuration does not exist.

When looking at your ivy.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="http://ivyrep.jayasoft.org/ivy-doc.xsl"?>
<ivy-module xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://incubator.apache.org/ivy/schemas/ivy.xsd" version="1.3">

	<info organisation="org.springframework" module="org.springframework.beans" revision="2.5.6.SEC01" status="release" publication="20090422131005"/>

	<configurations>
		<conf name="compile" visibility="public" description="Compile dependencies"/>
		<conf name="optional" visibility="public" extends="compile" description="Optional dependencies"/>
		<conf name="provided" visibility="public" description="Provided dependencies"/>
		<conf name="runtime" visibility="public" extends="compile" description="Runtime dependencies"/>
		<conf name="bytecode-proxy" extends="runtime" description="JARs needed to run with CGLIB bytecode proxies"/>
	</configurations>

	<publications>
		<artifact name="org.springframework.beans"/>
		<artifact name="org.springframework.beans-sources" type="src" ext="jar"/>
		<artifact name="license" type="license" ext="txt"/>
	</publications>

	<dependencies>
		<dependency org="javax.el" name="com.springsource.javax.el" rev="2.1.0" conf="provided->compile"/>
		<dependency org="net.sourceforge.cglib" name="com.springsource.net.sf.cglib" rev="2.1.3" conf="optional, bytecode-proxy->compile"/>
		<dependency org="org.apache.commons" name="com.springsource.org.apache.commons.logging" rev="1.1.1" conf="compile->compile"/>
		<dependency org="org.springframework" name="org.springframework.core" rev="2.5.6.SEC01" conf="compile->compile"/>
	</dependencies>

</ivy-module>

I can download the sources by doing the following:

<dependency org="org.springframework" name="org.springframework.beans" rev="2.5.6.SEC01" >
       <artifact name="org.springframework.beans" conf="default->runtime"/>
       <artifact name="org.springframework.beans-sources" type="src" ext="jar" conf="sources" />
</dependency>

But then IvyEclipse does not add those correctly to the classpath as an sources attachment. Because the artifact name for the library is "org.springframework.beans-2.5.6.SEC01.jar" and IvyEclipse expects a file name like "org.springframework.beans-2.5.6.SEC01-sources.jar" for the sources, though infact the name is "org.springframework.beans-sources-2.5.6.SEC01.jar" which confuses IvyEclipse because of different artifact names.

I expect that IvyDE might have the same problem with that way of source publishing.
I even tried to use the maven version of the repository for this but it seems that the naming is wrong there aswell and there is also no sources configuration.
Hmm... So I'm at a loss right now about this.

My method of publishing sources is having the following publication in my ivy.xml:

<ivy-module version="2.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/schemas/ivy.xsd" 
       xmlns:m="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/maven">
...
<artifact conf="sources" type="source" ext="jar" m:classifier="sources"/>
...

And then using the following pattern for the publish task:

<ivy:publish artifactspattern="${dist.dir}/[artifact]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext]" resolver="lokal" pubrevision="${version.lokal}" pubdate="${jetzt}" update="true" />

Maybe you can fix your publications or you can tell me how to do it properly or IvyEclipse has to be changed to support this.

I'm hoping for one of the first two solutions.

Some of you may have
Regardless of whether or not you choose to use the Platform, subscribers to this list will almost certainly be interested in the SpringSource Bundle Repository (http://www.springsource.com/repository). To support the development of enterprise applications with OSGi we've created a repository with nearly 300 of the most commonly used enterprise libraries when developing Spring applications.

Hi, Costin,

I will ask Spring DM is supported JTA? I have finded bundle jotm in http://www.springsource.com/repository. but jotm need coral.jar. I have put carol.jar in bundle's lib. but without seccess.

If spring dm support JTA, which Transaction Manager ist best for spring DM, jotm or bitronix or jbosstransactionmanager..?

there are exemples or documents for JTA in spring DM?


thanks

I've noticed that some popular bundles (such as Hibernate) haven't been updated in ages, despite multiple requests (see Jira). Is the EBR still being maintained? If yes, what's the update policy?

I think this was the thread I was looking for.
Thanks for taking the time to post guys!

Hi

I wonder how I could get Maven to target the EBR as described in the reference doc below?

So the first thing you need to decide is how to manage your dependencies: most people use an automated system like Maven or Ivy, but you can also do it manually by downloading all the jars yourself. When obtaining Spring with Maven or Ivy you have then to decide which place you'll get it from. In general, if you care about OSGi, use the EBR, since it houses OSGi compatible artifacts for all of Spring's dependencies, such as Hibernate and Freemarker.

as it is the sample projects get the dependencies from the Maven Repo, correct? ( settings.xml URL is http:167.7.147.232:8081/artifactory/repo ) how could I(or should I?) get it to get them from the Spring EBR?

Thanks for any suggestions !

John.
