ImportMergeException using Spring Web Services 1.5.2.A

[Beta User]

I'm getting an ImportMergeException when trying to import bundle Spring Web Services modules.

I'm pretty sure it's down to a split package, but I'm not sure what to do to fix it (or whether I should just be JIRA-ing either Spring Web Services or the Enterprise Bundle Repository).

The relevant snippet from my bundle's manifest is:

Import-Library: org.hibernate.ejb,
org.springframework.spring
Import-Bundle: com.springsource.org.apache.commons.dbcp,
org.springframework.ws,
org.springframework.ws.transport,
org.springframework.oxm,
org.springframework.ws.java5,
org.springframework.oxm.java5

I have to pull in org.springframework ws, ws.transport and ws.java5 as the functionality I'm after (annotated endpoints) is split across all three modules (same with the oxm module).

I think the error comes up because ws and ws.transport both export the same package (there are transport related packages in the ws core module).

Any clues on how I can work around this?

Hi Mark,

There does appear to be an issue regarding split packages: both the org.springframework.ws bundle and the org.springframework.transport bundle export the org.springframework.transport.http package. The ImportMergeException you encountered was therefore likely a result of this.

Ideally, the bundles should not export the same package. If that's not possible, however, you could create a work-around by configuring the org.springframework.transport bundle to be a fragment of the org.springframework.ws bundle.

I've created a JIRA issue to track this:
