How can I install postgresqljdbc to work in Karaf OSGi? - osgi

Question

I want to install org.postgresql/postgresql/9.4-1201-jdbc41 in Karaf but I get errors. How can I resolve these errors? Strangely on Windows my Karaf doesn't have errors with this Postgres jdbc but on Ubuntu it has these errors. Any clues appreciated.

Definining a Postgres Pool Datasource to Karaf 4.0.1
Theory at: https://ops4j1.jira.com/wiki/display/PAXJDBC/Create+DataSource+from+config
karaf#root()>feature:install pax-jdbc-config
karaf#root()>feature:install pax-jdbc-pool-dbcp2
Create file under KARAF_HOME/etc/org.ops4j.datasource-companymanager.cfg
where companymanager is the datasource name.
osgi.jdbc.driver.name=PostgreSQL JDBC Driver-pool-xa
serverName=localhost
databaseName=companymanager
portNumber=5432
user=postgres
password=admin
dataSourceName=companymanager
Voilá you are done, your datasource is exposed to OSGI registry ready to be used at your will:
karaf#root()> service:list javax.sql.DataSource
[javax.sql.DataSource]
----------------------
databaseName = companymanager
dataSourceName = companymanager
felix.fileinstall.filename = file:/C:/apache-karaf-4.0.1/etc/org.ops4j.datasource-companymanager.cfg
osgi.jdbc.driver.name = PostgreSQL JDBC Driver-pool-xa
osgi.jndi.service.name = companymanager
password = admin
portNumber = 5432
serverName = localhost
service.bundleid = 64
service.factoryPid = org.ops4j.datasource
service.id = 119
service.pid = org.ops4j.datasource.3cad9abf-49be-4868-8940-1623481b1363

Answer 3

The Apache Karaf DataSources (JDBC) is an optional enterprise feature. In order to install the postgresql, please use the following statements.
karaf#root()> feature:install jdbc
karaf#root()> install -s mvn:org.postgresql/postgresql/9.4-1203-jdbc42
the above solution was tested on Karaf 4.0.1
