Re: Creating a Extension/AddOn for JOnAS

Hello,

iPOJO doesn't need to be installed on Eclipse. For starting you should
just define an OSGi bundle by following these steps :

* Write a POJO
* Write the OSGi manifest file
* Write the iPOJO metadata file
* Configure the Maven plugins of your pom.xml, for example :
  ...
  <packaging>bundle</packaging>
   ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
        <extensions>true</extensions>
        <configuration>
          <instructions>
           
<_include>src/main/resources/META-INF/${project.artifactId}.bnd</_include>
          </instructions>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-ipojo-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.6.0</version>
        <configuration>
          <classifier>ipojo</classifier>
        </configuration>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <goals>
              <goal>ipojo-bundle</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
  ...

* Put the output into the deploy dir of JOnAS.

Ok now if that works, you can decide to make a service with this bundle.
So you have to do the following steps:

* Define the deployment plan for your service (by the way you can
reference some others required bundles) and put it into the directory
repositories/url-internal (see
http://jonas.ow2.org/JONAS_5_1_4/doc/doc-en/html/deployment-plans_guide.html)
If your service is called myservice, the deployment plan file will be
named myservice.xml.

* Add the service config into jonas.properties

jonas.services                  .......,myservice
jonas.service.serv1.class       a.b.myservice.internal.MyService

When you add your service into the config, JOnAS will automatically
lookup into the repositories/url-internal for the file myservice.xml

If you have any errors, please send us the stacktraces.

Best regards,
Loris
