[eclipselink-users] SDO under OSGi

[Andreas Kollegger <akollegger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Has anyone gotten SDO to work in an OSGi environment like Felix? I'm  
trying simple things like...

HelperContext scope = HelperProvider.getDefaultContext();

... which falls into a rabbit hole of trying to resolve classes that  
aren't imported/exported. It looks to me like the  
org.eclipse.persistence.sdo bundle and the commonj.sdo plugin in trunk  
both need to be updated.

Looking at the reference implementation for commonj.sdo, it could be  
augmented with an OSGi activator which uses a service tracker to look  
for installed implementations. Similarly, org.eclipse.persistence.sdo  
could have an activator to register its implementations. Client  
bundles could either use the standard commonj.sdo static instance  
references or instead get the OSGi service references. Does that sound  
reasonable?
