OSGi Activator exception and location of stacktrace?

[pchandler]

When I start a bundle (i.e., smx@root:osgi> start 167, "runs the start method in the Activator class") and an exception occurs where is the exception logged? I looked in data/log/servicemix.log no stacktrace?

The servicemix console only gives the following message:

ERROR CommandLineExecutionFailed: org.apache.geronimo.gshell.command.CommandException: org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Activator start error in bundle com.mycompany.xx.yyy.spring_osgi .

If an exception occurs in the Activator where is the exception (stacktrace) logged?

Thanks in advance,

Peter.

Peter,

It looks like the shell only displays the error message, but not the stack trace, which is silently swallowed.  I created the following issue against the apache project, so you can vote for it there.

Actually I just got word from Chris who is looking into it that it's a Felix Karaf issue now after the move, but he'll take care of it nevertheless. 

What is your timeframe for a resolution?  We could have a quick fix for fuse esb, but in this case I think we should let it take the normal course and get it fixed at apache first.

I do have a work around (hack) for now.

Put an:

try

{

    entire start() method ...

    ...

} catch (Throwable t)

{

    t.printstacktrace();

}

Please let know when its fixed.

Thanks,

Peter.

Great.  This is the link to the SMX4-299 issue I created.
