Can anyone help me with this?

Hi Justin,

Thanks for your response. I received 3 JAR files, commons-lang.jar, commons-code.jar and oauth-core.jar to include as part of OSGi bundle. So, I included all these 3 jar files. But, I observed that for commons-lang and commons-code it is using the ones available with CQ5 setup. So, I also tried to have only one jar file, oauth-core.jar, in the bundle. But, I still get errors. Given below are the steps I am using to create a bundle that embeds 3rd party (external) jar files.

step 1: Bundle creation

Step 2: Bnd file verification

Step 3: Add external JAR file to libs folder

Step 4: Build the bundle and verify in system/console/bundles/. Build doesn't have error but it  still shows error as follows:

Can you please let me know what could have gone wrong?

Thanks

I am sorry, I didn't understand this quite well. Does this mean that the bundle is well and I can proceed further. But I am not able to start this bundle.

Thanks for your response.

If I understand this correctly, I need to first resolve "org.apache.http.*" related problems. This would then automatically resolve "net.oauth.*" related problem.

In order to resolve, "org.apache.http.*" related problem, I downloaded Apache HTTP Client 4.2 OSGi bundle from http://mirror.symnds.com/software/Apache//httpcomponents/httpcore/bina ry/httpcomponents-core-4.2-osgi-bin.zip and installed it on my CQ instance. This now shows the packages list as shown below:

Now, if I try to create a bundle adding external jar oauth-core.jar file, it still shows errors as follows:

Any idea what could have gone wrong?

Regarding usage of 'Export-Package: *', What I am trying to do is - I have a requirement to integrate my CQ based application with a third party. The third party gives me 4 jar files and I have to make use of functions present in those jar files. As per my understanding, in order to be able to use those external jar files, I need to create OSGi bundles using the jar files. I used the steps I shared in my earlier post to create an OSGi bundle using jar file. Since, I do not know, which function I might have to use as part of integration, I am trying to include everything that is part of jar files into OSGi bundle. Let me know if my approach for this task is wrong. I hope this would help to understand my task.

Here is my bnd file with all directives:

Export-Package: *

Import-Package: *

Private-Package: *

# Include-Resource:

Bundle-Name: External Jar OSGI

Bundle-Description: This OSGI bundle contains external jar file

Bundle-SymbolicName: com.self.learning.externaljarosgi

Bundle-Version: 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

Bundle-Activator: com.self.learning.osgi.oauth.Activator

And here is what is shown in systems/console/bundle:

Regarding Export-Package, I know the function, class and its package I need to use. Would it be fine if I just export that package instead of using '*'? In such case, if this has dependency on some function in one of the 4 jar files I need to use, how does it get resolved? Do I need to Export those packages as well?

Hi,

Please find below Import-Package directive information:

Import-Package: com, com.gsfn, com.self.learning.osgi.oauth, javax.crypto, javax.crypto.spec, javax.servlet, javax.servlet.http, net.oauth, net.oauth.client, net.oauth.client.httpclient3, net.oauth.client.httpclient4, net.oauth.server, net.oauth.signature, org.apache.commons.codec.binary, org.apache.commons.httpclient, org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods, org.apache.commons.lang, org.apache.http, org.apache.http.client, org.apache.http.client.methods, org.apache.http.entity, org.apache.http.impl.client, org.apache.http.params, org.apache.http.util, org.osgi.framework, org.slf4j

Please ignore previous one. I was making changes with additional jar files. Here is the import directive which is related to the screenshots I posted earlier:

Import-Package: com.self.learning.osgi.oauth, javax.crypto, javax.crypto.spec, javax.servlet, javax.servlet.http, net.oauth, net.oauth.client, net.oauth.client.httpclient3, net.oauth.client.httpclient4, net.oauth.server, net.oauth.signature, org.apache.commons.codec.binary, org.apache.commons.httpclient, org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods, org.apache.http, org.apache.http.client, org.apache.http.client.methods, org.apache.http.entity, org.apache.http.impl.client, org.apache.http.params, org.apache.http.util, org.osgi.framework, org.slf4j
