log4j not in OSGI bundle path

[gvanstad]

Good day.

I'm deploying an OSGI bundle that requires log4j to be available at runtime.

Now, I have included log4j as a dependency to my "pom.xml", the bundle builds and deploys perfectly, but when I start the bundle it get this error :

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/FileAppender

(This can be any log4J class)

I understand that log4j is part of the FUSE runtime, no how do I make it available to my bundle at runtime.

Any help appreciated

Regards

G.

Are you using ServiceMix 4 as the OSGi platform?

If so it supports the log4j out of box by leverage PAX log.

If not, you need to check if the log4j bundle is installed.

Yes, I'm using Fuse ESB 4 as my OSGI container, but it appears as if only a subset of the log4j framework is available in the classpath.

referencing "org.apache.log4j.Logger" resolves fine,

but

referencing "org.apache.log4j.LogManager"

results in

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Lorg/apache/log4j/LogManager;

Here's my Pom.xml entry:
