My bundle can't find its own source code when building beans

[msully72]

I have an application that consists of a dozen or so bundles at present. When I try running it, one of the bundles, when Spring DM tries creating the beans defined in my XML, throws class not found exceptions, despite the fact that the class it can't find is in its own bundle. I'll include the stacktrace in hte first reply, as it is long.

I'm developing in Eclipse, and did have an issue where Eclipse, after treating my bundle as any other for a while, suddenly decided it wasn't a bundle and refused to build it because it wouldn't use the Plug-In Dependencies container to provision imports from other bundles, but that is finally fixed.

Still, when I try to start this bundle in Equinox, I get an exception. While the exception itself seems to give no clue which bundle is throwing it, the only currently installed bundle that uses the missing class is the bundle trying to instantiate it.

I checked my bin directory and all of my code has been properly compiled there. I'll include my META-INF/spring/*.xml files below. Note if I comment out the osgi:service for featureManager I get the same stack trace, but missing FeatureManagerImpl instead of FeatureManager.

Thanks,
Mike

[Costin Leau]

From the stracktrace, the problem clearly seems to be that the FeatureManager is not found. Since you mentioned Eclipse PDE, I would suggest to get a hold of the generated bundle, see what exactly it contain and what packages it imports/exports.
My guess would be that for whatever reason, either the bundle doesn't contain the class you mentioned or that it expects to find it somewhere else.
Note that the bundle classpath might be different, meaning the class might be there (potentially packed) but in different location then the one used by the bundle to load its classes.

Hope this helps,
