I am trying to build an OSGI bundle of a class which imports the following:
import javax.servlet.jsp.JspWriter;
import javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.BodyContent;
import javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.BodyTagSupport;
I am trying to build this as a plugin project in Eclipse. I added j2ee jar which resolved the errors but export as a plugin fails.
I also didn't want to add the j2ee jar to it since there might me mismatch in the OSGi container. What'es the best way to resolve this? I am new to OSGI..
There are bundles available from Geronimo and ServiceMix which provide the Servlet API. Though you probably still need a web-container to run your OSGi-Web application. So how is your container setup to look like?
For the OSGi Containers there are Apache Karaf and Eclipse Virgo. Both of them provide also a Web-Container. If you want to setup your own Container you might want to take a look at Pax-Web. This one also provides the needed Servlet APIs.
I'm sure there is a bundlified version of the j2ee.jar for use in an OSGi container. If this is not the case, just bundle it yourself.

I need to validate whether the imported packages of a bundle are fulfilled by a set of other bundles' export packages. This should not be very hard to implement but I know all the OSGi containers plus eclipse (when you do "validate bundles" in PDE) do this. I just don't know how to find that code. Does anyone know what classes/libraries I could use that already implement all this logic?
My goal is to give a list of files (bundles) in the file system and do an analysis whether the set of bundles is self-contained and if not to show all the missing external imports/requires. all this without actually having to run the bundles in a real container
You should look at the Resolver API in the OSGi spec. Apache Felix has a resolver implementation that is also used by the Equinox framework.
I am trying to use an external jar in a Google Web Toolkit project.
The jar is for use only on the server side. For reference it is the jbcrypt jar packaged as org.mindrot.jbcrypt.
I have included the jar in my project's build path, and eclipse finds it and resolves the BCrypt class in my project.
When I try to use the service that relies on this jar (a login service that extends RemoteServiceServlet), I get a com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc.UnexpectedException which is caused by a NoClassDefFoundError for org.mindrot.jbcrypt.BCrypt.
Does the development server need the jar to be somewhere else? What should I do? Thanks.
Turns out, it goes in project/war/WEB-INF/lib
I'm new to osgi and really confused about how it all fits together. I want to create 3 bundles, an api bundle that defines an interface, a impl bundle that provides an implementation and another bundle that uses the implemenation using maven and the maven-bundle-pugin.
I need a bit of guidance:
do i need 3 maven projects?
does it help to/should i use a maven archetype for creating the projects?
do i need tu use maven-pax?
any other hints for a osgi newbie?
Thank you
I have written a tutorial some time ago that may contain what you need.
Some spoilers ..
Yes you should create three maven projects. Ideally also a parent project so you can build them in one command.
You can use an archetype but the easier way may be to just copy the example code and change it.
The tutorial shows how to deploy on Apache Karaf which imho is the easiest OSGi server to start with. Still the bundles produces during the build should also work in plain Felix or Equinox but the deployment will be a little harder.
How I can setup Hibernate for a Dynamic Web application by using Eclipse Helios? I am a newbe so please let me know if there is any example.
I tried for Java application and included all JARS and it worked fine. But don't understand how I can do it for Web application and test it.
I will use Struts2 so I will appreciate if I can get appropriate example or guidance.
Drop the jars in WEB-INF/lib. Those jars are automatically added by Eclipse to the project build path, and constitute (with the WEB-INF/classes directory and the container classpath) the classpath of the webapp.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4364923/struts2-and-hibernate-framework-create-in-eclipse
First, download Struts2, and import example WAR file into Eclipse. You can find it from the source folder: struts-2.3.1-all\struts-2.3.1\apps\struts2-blank.war
Second, you should install Eclipse Hibernate Plugin. Goto Window > Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites and add following link and name it JBossTools or something.
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/helios/
Depending on your needs you can install Hibernate Plugins for many project types. In this case, select web application plugin.
And after, you should include Hibernate Core libraries into your classpath. I would recomment Hibernate 3.6 and greater. Because it does not depend on asm (asm-3.3.jar, asm-commons-3.3.jar ...) anymore. If you use earlier versions you might encounter some problems, since Struts2 also depend on asm libraries.
Then create your database, and use following link to configure and generate model bean classes.

Now you don't need to write mapping files by yourselves. And with DAO factory pattern you have your way to finish your project.
Hope this helps, and Goodluck
I need to connect to a MongoDB instance from my EJB3 application, running on glassfish 3.0.1. The Mongo project provides a set of drivers, and I'm able to use them in a standalone Java application.
How would I use them in a Java EE application? Or maybe better phrasing: how would I make a 3rd party library available to my application when it runs in an EJB container?
At the moment, I'm getting a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError when deploying a bean that
tries to import from the library:

I tried adding it to the NetBeans project (Properties -> Libraries -> Compile -> Add Jar, enable 'Package'), and I also tried manually copying the jar file to $GF_HOME/glassfish/domains/domain1/lib (where the mysql-connector already resides).
Do I need to 'register' the library with the container? Reference it via Annotation? Extend the classpath of the container to include the library?
Hmm... Shouldn't you put this "driver" in glassfishv3/glassfish/domains/domain1/lib/ext?
You could put shared libs to lib/ext of your domain. commons-logging and jdbc drivers are often added in this domain path.
Common Class Loader
GlassFish v2 has a well defined Class
Loader hierarchy which identifies the
common class loader as the proper way
to deal with shared libraries. So to
make a long story short, putting you
libraries and other framework JARs in
domains/domain1/lib is all you need to
do.
lib/, not lib/ext
The person asking me the question had
tried putting the libraries in
domains/domain1/lib/ext which
triggered an interesting
ClassNotFoundError for core Java EE
classes such as
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet. Shing
Wai Chan was quick to explain that
domains/domain1/lib/ext is part of
-Djava.ext.dirs which makes any of its JARs be considered as a JDK extension
which means web app frameworks placed
there will be loaded before
webcontainer implementation classes as
they are higher up in the classloader
delegation chain.
Glassfish has own Class loader hierarchy, http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19798-01/821-1752/beade/index.html
I face the same problem in my project and then I put all my Third party libraries in domain/domain1/lib and my problem solved. On other way round, my problem was solved too by putting libraries in glassfish/lib.
In my case I was using Oracle Express Edition 11gR2 and Glassfish 3.1.2 and the ONLY way that works in my case was putting the ojdbc6 in:
C:\Program Files\glassfish-3.1.2.2\glassfish\lib
Go to your Glassfish doamin directory.
Then go to lib folder.
Place the libraries there.
Restart the glassfish and run.
(Ex) C:\glassfish3\glassfish\domains\domain1\lib
Try to put Your libs into $GF_HOME/glassfish/modules/.
It's dirty, but will work.
