Run in osgi environment

[erdal.k...@gmail.com]

I cannot get reflections run in an osgi environment.

Tries this:

Reflections reflections = new Reflections("my.package");
  Set<Class<? extends MyAbstractTestCase>> subTypesOf = reflections
  .getSubTypesOf( MyAbstractTestCase .class);

If I run the code from a simple main method, it works.

If I try the same code in an osgi environment, it does not work (tried with setting a class loader and the like, but still no success).

The idea is to load all junit test classes that are located in a specific osgi bundle/plugin.

make sure reflections.configuration.getUrls() contain the url of MyAbstractTestClass and the urls of the relevant implementations you wish to find

try new Reflections("my.package", ClasspathHelper.forClassLoader()) to scan all urls available

Unfortunately, that did not help.

Note: An osgi bundle is like a war file: it may be deployed as a pure jar with embedded libs (also as jars) on its bundle-classpath or it may be deployed 'deflated', i.e. unpacked with the embedded jars on its bundle-classpath.

If the osgi application is run from the IDE (e.g. eclipse), then the compiled classes are in the bin folder.

I had a look at the ClasspathHelper.forWebInfLib/forWebInfClasses but could not determine how to provide the urls to get it set up.

Do you think that would/should still work?

Vfs.addDefaultURLTypes(new UrlType() {

    public boolean matches(URL url) throws Exception {

        return url.getProtocol().startsWith("bundle");

    }

    public Dir createDir(URL url) throws Exception {

        try {

            return fromURL((URL) ClasspathHelper.contextClassLoader().

                    loadClass("org.eclipse.core.runtime.FileLocator").getMethod("resolve", URL.class).invoke(null, url));

        }

        catch (Throwable ex) {

            ex.printStackTrace();

            return null;

        }

    }

});

Reflections reflections = new Reflections("my.pack");

Where do I find fromUrl() createDir()?

I get compile errors as that method cannot be resolve and I am not sure where you copied that snippet from.

Is there an osgi extension available for reflections?

[erdal.k...@gmail.com]

Sorry, found it:

static {

Vfs.addDefaultURLTypes(new UrlType() {
public boolean matches(URL url) throws Exception {
return url.getProtocol().startsWith("bundle");
}

public Dir createDir(URL url) throws Exception {
try {

return Vfs.fromURL((URL) ClasspathHelper
.contextClassLoader()
.loadClass("org.eclipse.core.runtime.FileLocator")

.getMethod("resolve", URL.class).invoke(null, url));
} catch (Throwable ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
}
});
}

I added that code to my test suite and now it works!

Thanks a lot!

I think it might be good to have native support for osgi as well, so, we should not care about the proper settings, no?

Do you mean wherever within our code we need to instantiate Reflections("my package"), we should put the snippet static {...that you have in post below...} before that and then Rerflections should work in OSGI environment?

Just try and report back, I think that was the solution when I applied it a year ago in my code :-)

BTW that should only work with Eclipse Equinox as OSGi impl.

Ah ok. I see that what you tried an year back of adding the search for "bundle" URLs in static code, is folded in the Reflections's latest 0.9.9-RC1 .
But it still doesnt work for me, because the Refelctions assumes classLoader is URLClassLoader? Whereas in my set up I have only DefaultClassLoader (bundle class loader), it cant find classLoader.getResources(resourceName);
Did you have to do any trick for that? Or as you said  Eclipse Equinox takes care of that?
