[equinox-dev] DS deployment question

["Toedter, Kai" <kai.toedter@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I am currently working on the deployment of my OSGi/Equinox demo (see http://max-server.myftp.org/trac/pm). While launching the demo from an Eclipse SDK, everything works fine. But when I deploy all the bundles together with a config.ini file, the main service component (just a component, not a service itself) is not instantiated.

Here is my config.ini:
osgi.bundles=org.eclipse.equinox.util@start,org.eclipse.equinox.ds@start,org.eclipse.osgi.services@start,org.jdesktop.application@start,com.siemens.ct.pm.application@start,com.siemens.ct.pm.model@start,com.siemens.ct.pm.ui.actions.save@start,com.siemens.ct.pm.ui.actions.person@start,com.siemens.ct.pm.ui.views.bundleview@start
eclipse.ignoreApp=true

Here is the XML of the service component that is not instantiated in the deployed version:
<component name="uiServiceManager">
<implementation
  class="com.siemens.ct.pm.application.PersonManagerApplicationComponent"/>
  <reference name="ActionContribution"
    interface="com.siemens.ct.pm.application.service.IActionContribution"
    bind="setActionContribution"
    unbind="unsetActionContribution"
    cardinality="0..n"
    policy="dynamic"
  />
  <reference name="ViewContribution"
    interface="com.siemens.ct.pm.application.service.IViewContribution"
    bind="setViewContribution"
    unbind="unsetViewContribution"
    cardinality="0..n"
    policy="dynamic"
  />
</component>

The deployed bundles look fine to me, after starting OSGi all bundles are ACTIVE:
id      State       Bundle
0       ACTIVE      org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.0.v20080605-1900
1       ACTIVE      org.eclipse.equinox.util_1.0.0.v20080414
2       ACTIVE      org.eclipse.equinox.ds_1.0.0.v20080427-0830
3       ACTIVE      org.eclipse.osgi.services_3.1.200.v20071203
4       ACTIVE      org.jdesktop.application_1.0.4
5       ACTIVE      com.siemens.ct.pm.application_1.0.0.200901141513
6       ACTIVE      com.siemens.ct.pm.model_1.0.0.200901141513
7       ACTIVE      com.siemens.ct.pm.ui.actions.save_1.0.0.200901141513
8       ACTIVE      com.siemens.ct.pm.ui.actions.person_1.0.0.200901141513
9       ACTIVE      com.siemens.ct.pm.ui.views.bundleview_1.0.0.200901141513

Why is the component instantiated, when I launch exactly the same set of bundles from Eclipse and why not, when I launch from a batch file, like

java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.0.v20080605-1900.jar -console

Any hints?

Thanks a lot
