Splitting up framework bootstrap config

thomas.diesler Apr 29, 2010 7:53 AM

The bootstrap config is copied to very many different places with slight variations in setup. I'd like to split up that config in a static part that the user should not need to touch and which would apply to all environments and a configurable part that can differ.

https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBOSGI-184

My initial idea is to provide a framework-config.jar that contains the static part. When the framework bootstraps it loads both bean configurations.

Comments?

Done (http://github.com/jbosgi/jbosgi-framework/commit/b688a0c5a2c9f76b0de0479146fdaa2202498139)

The OSGiFrameworkFactory now recognises these descriptors

          bootstraps.add("META-INF/jboss-osgi-bootstrap.xml");
          bootstraps.add("META-INF/jboss-osgi-system-bootstrap.xml");
          bootstraps.add("META-INF/jboss-osgi-custom-bootstrap.xml");

By default the beans from any of those will be loaded.

The system bootstrap beans now live here

http://github.com/jbosgi/jbosgi-framework/blob/master/core/src/main/resources/META-INF/jboss-osgi-system-bootstrap.xml

which is part of the framework-core.jar

You can always overwrite using these system properties

    /** The system property used to get a bootstrap url */
    public static final String BOOTSTRAP_URL = "org.jboss.osgi.framework.bootstrap.url";

    /** The system property used to get a bootstrap path loaded from a classloader */
    public static final String BOOTSTRAP_PATH = "org.jboss.osgi.framework.bootstrap.path";
