Interface OsgiFramework

All Known Implementing Classes:
FelixFramework, NonWorkingOsgiFramework

public interface OsgiFramework
This is an abstraction of the OSGi framework that hides the actual implementation details. If you need access to this interface, simply inject it into your Application. In most cases, however, you are better of injecting a BundleInstaller since that provides common convenience methods.

  • Method Details

    • installBundle

      List<org.osgi.framework.Bundle> installBundle(String bundleLocation) throws org.osgi.framework.BundleException

      Installs a bundle from the specified location. The specified location identifier will be used as the identity of the bundle. If a bundle containing the same location identifier is already installed, the Bundle object for that bundle is returned. All bundles listed in the OsgiHeader.PREINSTALL_BUNDLE manifest header are also installed. The bundle at index 0 of the returned list matches the bundleLocation argument.

      NOTE: When this method installs more than one bundle, AND one of those bundles throw an exception during installation, the bundles installed prior to throwing the exception will remain installed. To enable the caller to recover from such a situation, this method wraps any thrown exception within a BundleInstallationException that contains the list of successfully installed bundles.

      It would be preferable if this method was exception-safe (that it would roll-back all installed bundles in the case of an exception), but that can not be implemented thread-safely since an Application may choose to install bundles concurrently through any available BundleContext.

      Parameters:
      bundleLocation - the location identifier of the bundle to install
      Returns:
      the list of Bundle objects installed, the object at index 0 matches the given location
      Throws:
      BundleInstallationException - if the input stream cannot be read, or the installation of a bundle failed, or the caller does not have the appropriate permissions, or the system BundleContext is no longer valid
      org.osgi.framework.BundleException
    • startBundles

      void startBundles(List<org.osgi.framework.Bundle> bundles, boolean privileged) throws org.osgi.framework.BundleException
      Starts the given Bundles. The parameter privileged tells the framework whether or not privileges are available, and is checked against the OsgiHeader.PRIVILEGED_ACTIVATOR header of each Bundle being started. Any bundle that is a fragment is silently ignored.
      Parameters:
      bundles - the bundles to start
      privileged - whether or not privileges are available
      Throws:
      org.osgi.framework.BundleException - if a bundle could not be started. This could be because a code dependency could not be resolved or the specified BundleActivator could not be loaded or threw an exception.
      SecurityException - if the caller does not have the appropriate permissions
      IllegalStateException - if this bundle has been uninstalled or this bundle tries to change its own state
    • refreshPackages

      void refreshPackages()
      Synchronously refresh all bundles currently loaded. Once this method returns, the class loaders of all bundles will reflect on the current set of loaded bundles. NOTE: This method is no longer used by the Jdisc container framework, but kept for completeness.
    • bundleContext

      org.osgi.framework.BundleContext bundleContext()
      Returns the BundleContext of this framework's system bundle. The returned BundleContext can be used by the caller to act on behalf of this bundle. This method may return null if it has no valid BundleContext.
      Returns:
      a BundleContext for the system bundle, or null
      Throws:
      SecurityException - if the caller does not have the appropriate permissions
    • bundles

      List<org.osgi.framework.Bundle> bundles()
      Returns an iterable collection of all installed bundles. This method returns a list of all bundles installed in the OSGi environment at the time of the call to this method. However, since the OsgiFramework is a very dynamic environment, bundles can be installed or uninstalled at anytime.
      Returns:
      an iterable collection of Bundle objects, one object per installed bundle
    • getBundles

      List<org.osgi.framework.Bundle> getBundles(org.osgi.framework.Bundle requestingBundle)
      Returns all installed bundles that are visible to the requesting bundle. Bundle visibility is controlled via implementations of FindHook;
    • allowDuplicateBundles

      void allowDuplicateBundles(Collection<org.osgi.framework.Bundle> bundles)
      Allows this framework to install duplicates of the given collection of bundles. Duplicate detection is handled by the BundleCollisionHook.
      Parameters:
      bundles - The bundles to allow duplicates of
    • start

      void start() throws org.osgi.framework.BundleException
      This method starts the framework instance. Before this method is called, any call to installBundle(String) or bundles() will generate a NullPointerException.
      Throws:
      org.osgi.framework.BundleException - if any error occurs
    • stop

      void stop() throws org.osgi.framework.BundleException
      Synchronously shut down the framework. It must be called at the end of a session to shutdown all active bundles.
      Throws:
      org.osgi.framework.BundleException - if any error occurs
    • isFelixFramework

      default boolean isFelixFramework()
      Returns true if this is a Felix based framework and not e.g. a test framework.
