How to use declarative services? [message #140427]

Hello everyone,
I am pretty new to RAP, RCP and OSGi development and atm I am struggling
to get a declarative service to provide data for a ViewPart to display.

That service is running and I can use it in a pure OSGi application. But
in a RAP application when my ViewPart is created the bind/unbind methods
given in the OSGI-INF/service_component.xml are not called to make the
service available to that class. Actually when running a RAP app the
ViewPart is instantiated two times. For one instance (created by the
service registry) the bind method is called and the service is provided,
for the other instance (the one that gets displayed and is created by
the workbench) the bind method is not called.

I guess I am a bit off the track here so are there any tutorials or
examples on how to use declarative services in a RAP (or RCP) environment?

Best regards,
Andre

Hi Andre,

I can't imagine how RAP infers with DS. I think the real problem lies in
how you use Declarative Services and has nothing to do with RAP. Maybe
you want to try the equinox newsgroup - and I would attach a snippet or
two to illustrate the problem.

You may also want to take a look at some tutorials like

Cheers
Ben

A Component is a Singleton for DS which is thinks it controls and the
same is true for a ViewPart where the workbench controls the instance(s).

To sum up a ViewPart can't act as a DS-Component because of the above.

Hi All,

understand the reason a ViePart cannot act as a DS component, but then, how should a view get a reference to the service exposed by another OSGi bundle ?
In a JSF application @EJB can be used to inject the service in the backing bean, haw can this be obtained in a RAP application ?

Thanks a lot
Patrick
