Re: [platform-dev] canonical way to handle optional dependencies
|
I think there is no "one fits all". Optional dependency are really
problematic to handle right and should be avoided as they often mean
your bundle/services are not well shaped.
If you describe your case it might be possible to give some more advice.

Hello,
(Not sure this is on topic for the list - but not sure where to ask.)
What is the canonical way to check if an optional dependency is available?
I know of a couple of methods:
1. wrapping code in try/catch and catching something wide like Throwable
or NoClassDefFoundError
2. checking for bundle status (e.g. calling
Platform.getBundle(symbolicName) and Bundle.getState)
Thank you.
Jonah
