import package without edit the manifest file in org.restlet - osgi

I am using Restlet for my communication between my clients (JSE2) and my server(GAE).
The clients are OSGi based.
I have a shared bundle containing my resource interfaces and a bundle containing the code to wrap a resource to a ClientResource. But the org.restlet bundle doesn't import any of these bundles. I think its not the right solution to edit the manifest of the org.restlet bundle and import the shared bundle manualy. Also this is a very static solution.
Is there a beter way to import these interface so i can wrap them into a Restlet ClientResource?
This is the exception where i'm dealing with:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: *** Class 'crm.resources.server.restlet.ContactResource' was not found because bundle org.restlet [3] does not import 'crm.resources.server.restlet' even though bundle crm.shared.resources.server [4] does export it. To resolve this issue, add an import for 'crm.resources.server.restlet' to bundle org.restlet [3]. ***
Update: Its useless to edit the manifest because the shared bundle uses some imports from the org.restlet bundle. So when you try to start the org.restlet bundle the imported packages from the shared bundle are missing. If you start the shared bundle first, he miss the packages from the org.restlet. (I hope i'm explaining it clearly)

I understand your issue.
The best solution i came up with is to add "DynamicImport-Bundle: *" in org.restlet MANIFEST-File (2.1.2 so far).
At least, that prevents you from circular dependencies and doesn't force you to manually adjust the imports once you change your restlet application.

Maven Project Library Not Found

I have maven project where i am adding the dependencies which are not resolvable as below.
My servlet is as follows:
LocaleUtil is getting resolve but its sub packages are throwing error when including.
I have tried invalidate cache and restart. But this didn't work for me.
Thanks,
The packages you are trying to import are internal, non-exported packages of the bundle com.adobe.granite.i18n. In fact, that bundle only exports the following packages:
Export-Package
com.adobe.granite.i18n {version=1.0, imported-as=[1.0.0,1.1)}
com.day.cq.i18n {version=5.4.0}
You should not attempt to use private packages of a library. Limit yourself to using only the exported API.

How to provide additional class for a package on OSGi system classpath for J2SE 1.8 profile

Inside ee.j2se-1.8 the package org.w3c.dom is included.
org.osgi.framework.system.packages = \
...
org.w3c.dom,\
...
org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation = \
...
org.w3c.*,\
org.xml.*,\
....
The bundle xml-apis_1.4.1.20140905-131237.jar contains the same package org.w3c.dom, but with one important class more ... ElementTraversal.class more.
So here my questions...
How can I provide the missing class inside my Equinox OSGi runtime?
You are suffering from the fact that people do not take packages seriously. We have a similar problem in the jta API. The version delivered by the VM is not identical to the version that is delivered as a special package.
The solution is to include the JAR with the extra packages on the class path where the framework resides. It looks like you're using bnd (good!) so this would look like:
-runpath: xml-apis__xml-apis;version="[1.4.1,2.0.0)"
If this had been a bundle with proper exports then you would have automatically gotten its exports as system packages. Looking at the packages in this bundle it seems all packages are already in the standard exports of the VM. However, if you have packages int his JAR that are not exported by the VM then you can add them as follows:
-runsystempackages: javax.xml.foo

bundle will not start when bouncy castle is imported

I am trying to add bouncy castle as a service provider to my java product running on apache karaf.
When I am trying to start the bundle which imports bouncy castle I get an error message
java.lang.Exception: Could not start bundle mvn:com.xxx.yyy.zzz/docsservice/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/war in feature(s) server-docs-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Unresolved constraint in bundle docs [245]: Unable to resolve 245.0: missing requirement [245.0] osgi.wiring.package; (&(osgi.wiring.package=org.bouncycastle.jce.provider)(version>=1.51.0))
at org.apache.karaf.features.internal.FeaturesServiceImpl.startBundle(FeaturesServiceImpl.java:472)
In the pom file I imported the package org.bouncycastle.jce.provider and I added bouncycastle as a dependency.
Also, i made all the changes described on this page,
http://karaf.apache.org/manual/latest/users-guide/security.html, see below
I put provider jar in lib/ext
I Modified the etc/config.properties configuration file to add the following property
org.apache.karaf.security.providers = xxx,yyy
org.apache.karaf.security.providers = org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider
I provided access to the classes from those providers from the system bundle so that all bundles can access those. I did this by modifying the org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation property in the same configuration file:
org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation = ...,org.bouncycastle*
On some forum I found another suggestion so I modified
*org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra = * in the config.properties as well and I added here packages exported from bouncycastle
Nonetheless I wasn't able to load the bundle successfully. I looked at all the bundles loaded by karaf and none of them was exporting bouncy castle package.
What am I missing here? How can I make the bundles to start?
By adding the package to the boot delegation you made it available like java.* packages. For these you do not need an Import-Package. So one way would be to remove the Import-Package for it in your bundle. You should rather explore though if you can work without boot delegation.
Please try to remove the boot delegation and add the package to
org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra = org.bouncycastle.jce.provider
This adds the package to the packages the system bundle exports. It should then be wired to your bundle.

Unable to wire proper bundle with my own bundle in wso2 app server

I am using wso2 Application Server 5.1.0.
I have deployed my own bundle having name demo-service which contains import-package definition in its manifest as below:
>Bundle-SymbolicName = demo-service
Import-Package = javax.sql,org.apache.commons.dbcp;version="[1.4,2)"
I tried to diagnose the most popular "uses conflict" in OSGi world for my case and I found that commons-dbcp_1.4.0.wso2v1.jar and commons-dbcp-1.4.jar both were converted to OSGi bundle by container and exported their packages with version "0.0.0" which can be observed from the output below:
>osgi> packages org.apache.commons.dbcp
org.apache.commons.dbcp; version="0.0.0"<commons-dbcp_1.4.0.wso2v1 [49]>
compass_2.0.1.wso2v2 [60] imports
org.wso2.carbon.core_4.1.0 [256] imports
org.wso2.carbon.registry.core_4.1.0 [377] imports
org.wso2.carbon.tenant.mgt_2.1.0 [434] imports
synapse-commons_2.1.1.wso2v3 [528] imports
synapse-core_2.1.1.wso2v3 [529] imports
org.apache.commons.dbcp; version="0.0.0"<commons_dbcp_1.4_1.0.0 [57]>
According to the requirement of my demo-service bundle it's not able to find
org.apache.commons.dbcp;version="[1.4,2)"
Is there any way to export the packages of commons-dbcp-1.4.jar after it gets converted from non-osgi bundle to osgi bundle because I need to make sure that my demo-service bundle should wire with commons-dbcp-1.4.jar..
In brief, any version of thirdparty jar I put in WSO2_HOME\repository\components\lib folder container exports it with version="0.0.0" .. which discourages the main concept for classloading of OSGi
please suggest if any workaround is possible in this case .. :)
Thanks ..
When a version is not specified while exporting packages OSGi defaults to version 0.0.0. In this case as it's automatically converting to osgi bundle it might not be having version explicitly specified. Sometimes this also helps to ensure that multiple versions of packages are not present.
In your case as you need to use the packages in the bundle put in repository\components\lib folder you could manually specify the version. The OSGi-fied bundles of the jars you put in repository\components\lib can be found in repository\components\dropins folder. Inside that bundle you will find the OSGi manifest file. In the manifest file manually specify the versions for the required packages under Export-Package category as follows.
org.apache.commons.dbcp;version=1.4.1
Then on startup, it would use these bundles and you should be able to export packages with specified version.

Access class of other OSGi bundle

My project has two bundles, lets say Bundle A and Bundle B.
Now Bundle A needs to access a class from Bundle B.
How can I do that?
There are two ways:
Add the dependency of bundle B to the Manifest of bundle A: Require-Bundle: bundle-id-of-bundle-A
Import the package of the wanted class in the Manifest of bundle A: Import-Package: package.of.your.class
In both situations, you need to export the package that contains your class in bundle B: Export-Package: package.of.your.class
Also, here's a good intro:
http://ctpjava.blogspot.com/2010/09/introduction-to-osgi.html
As #earcam wrote, it is strongly recommended to use Import-Package:.
Also, always add a version to the exported package in bundle B - this is good practice that you will appreciate later when you create the next version of bundles A and B.
