Re: [ice-dev] Enabling ConnectCoreAction
Hello Jay, Scott,

Thanks again for the links and inputs. I store an instance of RSA based on how it was outlined in Scott's code. When I try to launch via the o.e.i.product/ice.product_linux.launch file, I get Unresolved Requirement and Import-Package errors. They seem to be related to o.e.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin bundle. Changes are at
https://github.com/knram06/ice/tree/remoteosgi

I have already added relevant packages to the Manifest files but I still get this error (please find attached the log file). Based on our earlier discussions, is this related to the RSA being started first, i.e. is it more conducive to use DS and the Reference annotation to resolve this? I hope I am not missing something obvious here.

Thanking You,
Ram

The RemoteServiceAdmin service is only needed when the remote service is
actually imported...which is in RSCoreConnectAction line 117.

The main problem with the service reference approach is one of timing:
it depends upon the RemoteServiceAdmin service being started before the
org.eclipse.ice.client bundle.   For that reason I prefer a
ServiceTracker...e.g. here's a method that I added to Client class
(because it's the BundleActivator for your bundle):


import org.osgi.service.remoteserviceadmin.RemoteServiceAdmin;
import org.osgi.util.tracker.ServiceTracker;

...

     public RemoteServiceAdmin getRSA() {
         ServiceTracker<RemoteServiceAdmin,RemoteServiceAdmin> st = new
ServiceTracker<RemoteServiceAdmin,RemoteServiceAdmin>(getContext(),RemoteServiceAdmin.class,null);
         st.open();
         RemoteServiceAdmin rsa = st.getService();
         st.close();
         return rsa;
     }

Then line 117 in RSCoreConnectAction can then use getRSA() like this:

                     reg = (ImportRegistration)
Client.getDefault().getRSA().importService(new EndpointDescription(props));

The @Reference in RSCore is static (@Reference defaults to statis), and
it works in my tests...i.e. the RemoteServiceAdmin gets injected right
away...I think you should be able to use that in org.eclipse.ice.client
if you wish.
