installBundle

public Bundle installBundle(java.lang.String location)
                     throws BundleException

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

Installs a bundle from the specified location identifier.

This method performs the same function as calling BundleContext.installBundle(String,InputStream) with the specified location identifier and a null InputStream.

Specified by:

installBundle in interface BundleContext

Parameters:

location - The location identifier of the bundle to install.

Returns:

The Bundle object of the installed bundle.

Throws:

BundleException - If the installation failed. BundleException types thrown by this method include: BundleException.READ_ERROR , BundleException.DUPLICATE_BUNDLE_ERROR, BundleException.MANIFEST_ERROR, and BundleException.REJECTED_BY_HOOK.

See Also:

BundleContext.installBundle(String, InputStream)

installBundle

public Bundle installBundle(java.lang.String location,
                            java.io.InputStream is)
                     throws BundleException

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

Installs a bundle from the specified InputStream object.

If the specified InputStream is null, the Framework must create the InputStream from which to read the bundle by interpreting, in an implementation dependent manner, the specified location.

The specified location identifier will be used as the identity of the bundle. Every installed bundle is uniquely identified by its location identifier which is typically in the form of a URL.

The following steps are required to install a bundle:

1. If a bundle containing the same location identifier is already installed, the Bundle object for that bundle is returned.
2. The bundle's content is read from the input stream. If this fails, a BundleException is thrown.
3. The bundle's associated resources are allocated. The associated resources minimally consist of a unique identifier and a persistent storage area if the platform has file system support. If this step fails, a BundleException is thrown.
4. The bundle's state is set to INSTALLED.
5. A bundle event of type BundleEvent.INSTALLED is fired.
6. The Bundle object for the newly or previously installed bundle is returned.

Postconditions, no exceptions thrown

• getState() in { INSTALLED, RESOLVED }.
• Bundle has a unique ID.

Postconditions, when an exception is thrown

• Bundle is not installed. If there was an existing bundle for the specified location, then that bundle must still be in the state it was prior to calling this method.

Specified by:

installBundle in interface BundleContext

Parameters:

location - The location identifier of the bundle to install.

is - The InputStream object from which this bundle will be read or null to indicate the Framework must create the input stream from the specified location identifier. The input stream must always be closed when this method completes, even if an exception is thrown.

Returns:

The Bundle object of the installed bundle.

Throws:

BundleException - If the installation failed. BundleException types thrown by this method include: BundleException.READ_ERROR , BundleException.DUPLICATE_BUNDLE_ERROR, BundleException.MANIFEST_ERROR, and BundleException.REJECTED_BY_HOOK.

getBundle

public Bundle getBundle(long id)

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

Returns the bundle with the specified identifier.

Specified by:

getBundle in interface BundleContext

Parameters:

id - The identifier of the bundle to retrieve.

Returns:

A Bundle object or null if the identifier does not match any installed bundle.

getBundle

public Bundle getBundle(java.lang.String location)

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

Returns the bundle with the specified location.

Specified by:

getBundle in interface BundleContext

Parameters:

location - The location of the bundle to retrieve.

Returns:

A Bundle object or null if the location does not match any installed bundle.

getBundles

public Bundle[] getBundles()

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

Returns a list of all installed bundles.

This method returns a list of all bundles installed in the OSGi environment at the time of the call to this method. However, since the Framework is a very dynamic environment, bundles can be installed or uninstalled at anytime.

Specified by:

getBundles in interface BundleContext

Returns:

An array of Bundle objects, one object per installed bundle.

addBundleListener

public void addBundleListener(BundleListener l)

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

Adds the specified BundleListener object to the context bundle's list of listeners if not already present. BundleListener objects are notified when a bundle has a lifecycle state change.

If the context bundle's list of listeners already contains a listener l such that (l==listener), this method does nothing.

Specified by:

addBundleListener in interface BundleContext

Parameters:

l - The BundleListener to be added.

See Also:

BundleEvent, BundleListener

removeBundleListener

public void removeBundleListener(BundleListener l)

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

Removes the specified BundleListener object from the context bundle's list of listeners.

If listener is not contained in the context bundle's list of listeners, this method does nothing.

Specified by:

removeBundleListener in interface BundleContext

Parameters:

l - The BundleListener object to be removed.

addServiceListener

public void addServiceListener(ServiceListener l)

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

Adds the specified ServiceListener object to the context bundle's list of listeners.

This method is the same as calling BundleContext.addServiceListener(ServiceListener listener, String filter) with filter set to null.

Specified by:

addServiceListener in interface BundleContext

Parameters:

l - The ServiceListener object to be added.

See Also:

BundleContext.addServiceListener(ServiceListener, String)

addServiceListener

public void addServiceListener(ServiceListener l,
                               java.lang.String s)
                        throws InvalidSyntaxException

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

Adds the specified ServiceListener object with the specified filter to the context bundle's list of listeners. See Filter for a description of the filter syntax. ServiceListener objects are notified when a service has a lifecycle state change.

If the context bundle's list of listeners already contains a listener l such that (l==listener), then this method replaces that listener's filter (which may be null) with the specified one (which may be null).

The listener is called if the filter criteria is met. To filter based upon the class of the service, the filter should reference the Constants.OBJECTCLASS property. If filter is null , all services are considered to match the filter.

When using a filter, it is possible that the ServiceEvent s for the complete lifecycle of a service will not be delivered to the listener. For example, if the filter only matches when the property x has the value 1, the listener will not be called if the service is registered with the property x not set to the value 1. Subsequently, when the service is modified setting property x to the value 1, the filter will match and the listener will be called with a ServiceEvent of type MODIFIED. Thus, the listener will not be called with a ServiceEvent of type REGISTERED.

If the Java Runtime Environment supports permissions, the ServiceListener object will be notified of a service event only if the bundle that is registering it has the ServicePermission to get the service using at least one of the named classes the service was registered under.

Specified by:

addServiceListener in interface BundleContext

Parameters:

l - The ServiceListener object to be added.

s - The filter criteria.

Throws:

InvalidSyntaxException - If filter contains an invalid filter string that cannot be parsed.

Parameters:

l - The ServiceListener to be removed.

addFrameworkListener

public void addFrameworkListener(FrameworkListener l)

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

registerService

public ServiceRegistration<?> registerService(java.lang.String clazz,
                                              java.lang.Object svcObj,
                                              java.util.Dictionary<java.lang.String,?> dict)

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

Registers the specified service object with the specified properties under the specified class name with the Framework.

This method is otherwise identical to BundleContext.registerService(String[], Object, Dictionary) and is provided as a convenience when service will only be registered under a single class name. Note that even in this case the value of the service's Constants.OBJECTCLASS property will be an array of string, rather than just a single string.

Specified by:

registerService in interface BundleContext

Parameters:

clazz - The class name under which the service can be located.

svcObj - The service object or an object implementing ServiceFactory.

dict - The properties for this service.

Returns:

A ServiceRegistration object for use by the bundle registering the service to update the service's properties or to unregister the service.

See Also:

BundleContext.registerService(String[], Object, Dictionary)

registerService

public ServiceRegistration<?> registerService(java.lang.String[] clazzes,
                                              java.lang.Object svcObj,
                                              java.util.Dictionary<java.lang.String,?> dict)

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

Registers the specified service object with the specified properties under the specified class names into the Framework. A ServiceRegistration object is returned. The ServiceRegistration object is for the private use of the bundle registering the service and should not be shared with other bundles. The registering bundle is defined to be the context bundle. Other bundles can locate the service by using one of the BundleContext.getServiceReferences(Class, String), BundleContext.getServiceReferences(String, String), BundleContext.getServiceReference(Class) or BundleContext.getServiceReference(String) methods.

A bundle can register a service object that implements the ServiceFactory interface to have more flexibility in providing service objects to other bundles.

The following steps are required to register a service:

1. If service does not implement ServiceFactory, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown if service is not an instanceof all the specified class names.
2. The Framework adds the following service properties to the service properties from the specified Dictionary (which may be null):
   • A property named Constants.SERVICE_ID identifying the registration number of the service
   • A property named Constants.OBJECTCLASS containing all the specified classes.
   • A property named Constants.SERVICE_SCOPE identifying the scope of the service.
   • A property named Constants.SERVICE_BUNDLEID identifying the the context bundle.
   Properties with these names in the specified Dictionary will be ignored.
3. The service is added to the Framework service registry and may now be used by other bundles.
4. A service event of type ServiceEvent.REGISTERED is fired.
5. A ServiceRegistration object for this registration is returned.

Specified by:

registerService in interface BundleContext

Parameters:

clazzes - The class names under which the service can be located. The class names in this array will be stored in the service's properties under the key Constants.OBJECTCLASS.

svcObj - The service object or an object implementing ServiceFactory.

dict - The properties for this service. The keys in the properties object must all be String objects. See Constants for a list of standard service property keys. Changes should not be made to this object after calling this method. To update the service's properties the ServiceRegistration.setProperties(Dictionary) method must be called. The set of properties may be null if the service has no properties.

Returns:

A ServiceRegistration object for use by the bundle registering the service to update the service's properties or to unregister the service.

This method is otherwise identical to BundleContext.registerService(String, Object, Dictionary) and is provided to return a type safe ServiceRegistration.

Specified by:

registerService in interface BundleContext

Type Parameters:

S - Type of Service.

Parameters:

clazz - The class under whose name the service can be located.

svcObj - The service object or an object implementing ServiceFactory.

See Also:

BundleContext.registerService(String, Object, Dictionary)

getServiceReference

public ServiceReference<?> getServiceReference(java.lang.String clazz)

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

Returns a ServiceReference object for a service that implements and was registered under the specified class.

The returned ServiceReference object is valid at the time of the call to this method. However as the Framework is a very dynamic environment, services can be modified or unregistered at any time.

This method is the same as calling BundleContext.getServiceReferences(String, String) with a null filter expression and then finding the reference with the highest priority. It is provided as a convenience for when the caller is interested in any service that implements the specified class.

If multiple such services exist, the service with the highest priority is selected. This priority is defined as the service reference with the highest ranking (as specified in its Constants.SERVICE_RANKING property) is returned.

If there is a tie in ranking, the service with the lowest service id (as specified in its Constants.SERVICE_ID property); that is, the service that was registered first is returned.

Specified by:

getServiceReference in interface BundleContext

Parameters:

clazz - The class name with which the service was registered.

Returns:

A ServiceReference object, or null if no services are registered which implement the named class.

See Also:

BundleContext.getServiceReferences(String, String)

getService

public <S> S getService(ServiceReference<S> ref)

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

Returns the service object for the service referenced by the specified ServiceReference object.

A bundle's use of a service object obtained from this method is tracked by the bundle's use count of that service. Each time the service object is returned by BundleContext.getService(ServiceReference) the context bundle's use count for the service is incremented by one. Each time the service object is released by BundleContext.ungetService(ServiceReference) the context bundle's use count for the service is decremented by one.

When a bundle's use count for the service drops to zero, the bundle should no longer use the service object.

This method will always return null when the service associated with the specified reference has been unregistered.

The following steps are required to get the service object:

1. If the service has been unregistered, null is returned.
2. If the context bundle's use count for the service is currently zero and the service has bundle or prototype scope, the ServiceFactory.getService(Bundle, ServiceRegistration) method is called to supply the service object for the context bundle. If the service object returned by the ServiceFactory object is null, not an instanceof all the classes named when the service was registered or the ServiceFactory object throws an exception or will be recursively called for the context bundle, null is returned and a Framework event of type FrameworkEvent.ERROR containing a ServiceException describing the error is fired. The supplied service object is cached by the Framework. While the context bundle's use count for the service is greater than zero, subsequent calls to get the service object for the context bundle will return the cached service object.
3. The context bundle's use count for the service is incremented by one.
4. The service object for the service is returned.

Specified by:

getService in interface BundleContext

Type Parameters:

S - Type of Service.

Parameters:

ref - A reference to the service.

Returns:

A service object for the service associated with reference or null if the service is not registered, the service object returned by a ServiceFactory does not implement the classes under which it was registered or the ServiceFactory threw an exception.

ungetService

public boolean ungetService(ServiceReference<?> ref)

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

Releases the service object for the service referenced by the specified ServiceReference object. If the context bundle's use count for the service is zero, this method returns false. Otherwise, the context bundle's use count for the service is decremented by one.

The service object must no longer be used and all references to it should be destroyed when a bundle's use count for the service drops to zero.

The following steps are required to release the service object:

1. If the context bundle's use count for the service is zero or the service has been unregistered, false is returned.
2. The context bundle's use count for the service is decremented by one.
3. If the context bundle's use count for the service is now zero and the service has bundle or prototype scope, the ServiceFactory.ungetService(Bundle, ServiceRegistration, Object) method is called to release the service object for the context bundle.
4. true is returned.

Specified by:

ungetService in interface BundleContext

Parameters:

ref - A reference to the service to be released.

Returns:

false if the context bundle's use count for the service is zero or if the service has been unregistered; true otherwise.

getDataFile

public java.io.File getDataFile(java.lang.String s)

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

Creates a File object for a file in the persistent storage area provided for the bundle by the Framework. This method will return null if the platform does not have file system support.

A File object for the base directory of the persistent storage area provided for the context bundle by the Framework can be obtained by calling this method with an empty string as filename.

If the Java Runtime Environment supports permissions, the Framework will ensure that the bundle has the java.io.FilePermission with actions read,write,delete for all files (recursively) in the persistent storage area provided for the context bundle.

Specified by:

getDataFile in interface BundleContext

Parameters:

s - A relative name to the file to be accessed.

Returns:

A File object that represents the requested file or null if the platform does not have file system support.

registerService

public <S> ServiceRegistration<S> registerService(java.lang.Class<S> clazz,
                                                  ServiceFactory<S> factory,
                                                  java.util.Dictionary<java.lang.String,?> properties)

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

Registers the specified service factory object with the specified properties under the name of the specified class with the Framework.

This method is otherwise identical to BundleContext.registerService(Class, Object, Dictionary) and is provided to return a type safe ServiceRegistration when registering a ServiceFactory.

Specified by:

registerService in interface BundleContext

Type Parameters:

S - Type of Service.

Parameters:

clazz - The class under whose name the service can be located.

factory - The ServiceFactory object.

properties - The properties for this service.

Returns:

A ServiceRegistration object for use by the bundle registering the service to update the service's properties or to unregister the service.

BundleContext.registerService(java.lang.Class, org.osgi.framework.ServiceFactory, java.util.Dictionary)

getServiceObjects

public <S> ServiceObjects<S> getServiceObjects(ServiceReference<S> ref)

Description copied from interface: BundleContext

Returns the ServiceObjects object for the service referenced by the specified ServiceReference object.

The ServiceObjects object can be used to obtain multiple service objects for services with prototype scope.

For services with singleton or bundle scope, the ServiceObjects.getService() method behaves the same as the BundleContext.getService(ServiceReference) method and the ServiceObjects.ungetService(Object) method behaves the same as the BundleContext.ungetService(ServiceReference) method. That is, only one, use-counted service object is available from the ServiceObjects object.

This method will always return null when the service associated with the specified reference has been unregistered.

Specified by:

getServiceObjects in interface BundleContext

Type Parameters:

S - Type of Service.

Parameters:

ref - A reference to the service.

Returns:

A ServiceObjects object for the service associated with the specified reference or null if the service is not registered.
