I have servlet web application and want to inject apache karaf bundles as a service in the web application using aries blueprint.
These are the Steps followed for injecting the bundles:
1) added reference tag with id and interface values in the blueprint.xml sample code is here
<reference id="jsonStore" interface="com.test.test.jsonstore.service.JsonClientStore" />
2) added bean tag with ref attribute as reference id, of bundles what we are injecting in the blueprint.xml file. sample code is here
<bean id="echo" class="com.test.test.core.jsonrequest.JsonServlet">
<property name="jsonStore" ref="jsonStore"/>
</bean>
3) blueprint.xml file location as context-param tag the web.xml. sample code is here
<context-param>
<param-name>blueprintLocation</param-name>
<param-value>OSGI-INF/blueprint/blueprint.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
4) added listner class in the web.xml. sample code is here
<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.aries.blueprint.web.BlueprintContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>
5) @Inject annotation for injecting the particular bundle in the servlet class. sample code is here
@Inject(ref="jsonStore")
JsonClientStore jsonStore = null;
The following link is for reference documentation http://aries.apache.org/modules/blueprintweb.html
Still the bundles are not injected please some one can help on this ?
how to inject these karaf bundles as a service to the servlet application?
I solved the above problem without using aries blueprint.
The following method i added in the servlet to get injected bundles, i will send the bundle name as serviceName parameter to the below method, this will send back the required service of injected bundle, by using that i will use the methods present in that service.
private <T> T getService(Class<T> serviceName) {
Bundle bundle = FrameworkUtil.getBundle(serviceName);
if ( bundle == null ) {
return null;
}
BundleContext bundleContext = bundle.getBundleContext();
ServiceReference serviceRef = bundleContext.getServiceReference(serviceName);
if (serviceRef == null)
return null;
return (T) bundleContext.getService(serviceRef);
}
This code solved my problem.
