OPENJPA-2521 Cannot load entities from a different bundle in an OSGi environment

[artaxerxe]

Fixed this issue, so that now you can load those entities even in a OSGi context.

This issue appears dated, but the merge has no conflicts. If it makes sense, it'd be great to get it into 2.4.3

Hi all,

Is there any problem with my pull request? I still am using my version of OpenJPA in karaf because this isn't merged in the branch. Please let me know if I should do something.

Thanks, Mura Andrei

Hi @artaxerxe , from what I see I think it still needs some work:

1. fix the formatting issue (imports)
2. ensure org.osgi.core scope is provided (optionally +optional too) since we don't want org.osgi.core in most environments
3. likely add a test ensuring it fixes the issue you mentionned (should be failing today and pass with the patch)
4. wonder if the bundle protocol handling shouldnt be added through a SPI and registered in PersistenceActivator only

wdyt?

Hi @rmannibucau ,

Of all points which you raised I'm not sure what you mean by 4, but I'll have a closer look and come back afterwards with questions if necessary.

Thanks.

@artaxerxe overall idea is to not do the OSGi handling in "main" code but keep it located in OSGi package if possible (not a huge requirement but would be saner overall for the project). One constraint is to be able to run without OSGi in all env, including security manager/javaagent ones and having an indirection makes it easier to guarantee but otherwise looks ok to me.
