Re: [jbpm-dev] [rules-dev] services registered by OSGi bundle activators of Kie, Drools and Jbpm are still needed ?

by Charles Moulliard

Hi, Before to review the code, it could be interesting to define/describe in a document the services/factories that we need to work with Drools/BPMN, dependencies between the modules/jar (= Packages to be exported/imported) and next we could see how we could improve the design of what has been done for OSGI. Aries Blueprint could be used or Apache DS to inject dependency (less code and dependencies are needed vs Blueprint) but Weld/CDI is also another option since that pax-cdi has been released but I should have a look to verify stability, ...

services registered by OSGi bundle activators of Kie, Drools and Jbpm are still needed ?

by Cristiano Gavião

Hi, has a long time that I don't play with Drools and JBPM source code. This week I was walking through them again and saw a lot of new elements, interfaces and new ways to setup things. I saw that some Blueprint specific annotations and classes were created (kie-aries-blueprint). But the existent osgi activators are still registering some services that seems not be appropriated anymore. at least they are different from the set of elements in blueprint namespace (environment, kmodule, kbase and others ) that I saw. For example, in activator of drools-core we have a KnowledgeBaseFactoryServiceImpl being registered. in drools-compiler we have KnowledgeBuilderFactoryServiceImpl being registered. I can't use blueprint, so I need to figure out what is the best setup workflow for OSGi and get the proper services registered. Question, is the kie-aries-blueprint.xsd reflecting the actual state of kie, drools and jbpm core setup workflow, so I can use it as start point? could someone check that and give me a feedback ? many thanks, Cristiano

Re: [jbpm-dev] [rules-dev] services registered by OSGi bundle activators of Kie, Drools and Jbpm are still needed ?

by Cristiano Gavião

I agree that should have a consistency. but where should we start from ? are you able to point me to any resource describing a good setup workflow using that new stuffs that I can use as base for my own investigation? The examples that I saw until now are using factories. what I can remember last time I tried 6.x, that factories won't work in osgi, so they are good candidates to be registered by those activators.
