Hi Rickard,
I acknowledge absence of proper documentation about OSGi features in
GlassFish. I don't see our docs to change either before 3.1 release, so
in the mean while, I have created a Wiki page [1] to capture whatever
information available. Take a look at it and send your comments. Keep in
mind that I have just recently created the page, so it does not have all
the info I want it to have. I certainly want to add an FAQ and some
documentation in the form of a guide.
Coming back to use of OBR, it is one of the things we would like to have
a better story about in 3.1 release. /Can you please tell us what kind
of OBR related feature you are looking for in glassfish? /
To use OBR in current glassfish, please download and install OBR bundles:
cd .../glassfish/domains/domain1/autodeploy/bundles/
wget
http://www.reverse.net/pub/apache/felix/org.osgi.service.obr-1.0.2.jar
wget
http://www.reverse.net/pub/apache/felix/org.apache.felix.bundlerepository-1.6.2.jar
From the server log you can see that these two bundles automatically
get started.
Once they are started, the bundlerepository bundle adds obr commands to
Felix shell:
telnet localhost 6666
-> obr help
I am assuming you have your own repo which you add using "obr add-url"
command.
You can also use the obr feature of OSGi web console. To use web console
[3], you need to download and install osgi-http service implementation
as well as the web console:
cd .../glassfish/domains/domain1/autodeploy/bundles/
// replace ${glassfish-version} with 3.0 or 3.0.1-SNAPSHOT or
3.1-SNAPSHOT, etc depending on your current glassfish version.
wget
http://download.java.net/maven/glassfish/org/glassfish/osgi-http/${glassfish-version}/osgi-http.jar
wget
http://www.devlib.org/apache/felix/org.apache.felix.webconsole-3.0.0.jar
open localhost:8080/osgi/system/console
The username and password is admin/admin. If you use v3, you may be
prompted for username/password multiple times because of a bug, but
eventually after two or three prompts it succeeds. This bug has been
fixed in 3.0.1 or 3.1 builds.
We are soon going to have a web console update centre package for 3.1,
so you can download and install it from within glassfish admin console.
Thanks,
Sahoo
