[DS] Can someone point me to a service ranking example? [message #129107]

Hi...
I'm trying to use a service ranking in an example that demonstrates how
a product reusing the p2 UI could contribute a service (configurable UI
policy) with a higher ranking than the one contributed by p2. I can't
seem to get it working, and couldn't find an example.

My service declaration looks like this:

<scr:component xmlns:scr="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/scr/v1.1.0"
name=" org.eclipse.equinox.p2.examples.rcp.sdkbundlevisibility.poli cy ">
<implementation
class=" org.eclipse.equinox.p2.examples.rcp.sdkbundlevisibility.p2.A llIUsAreVisiblePolicy "/>
<service>
<provide
interface=" org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.ui.policy.Policy "/>
</service>
<property name="service.ranking" value="1000"/>
</scr:component>

However the p2 policy (no service ranking, so defaults to 0) is winning.
The service tracker is disregarding the property since it's read as a
string...so I must be doing something silly wrong.

Hi Susan,

You must specify the type for the service property when it is not a
String ...
<property name="service.ranking" type="Integer" value="1000"/>

See section 112.4.5 of the specification. Also the DS tooling in PDE
allows you to specify the type for the service properties.

HTH.
Tom
