ManagedService fails to register

[sdahl]

I am building an example ManagedService and using a BundleActivator to start the service. However, the bundle header does not show the bundle-activator and the start method is never called. There are no errors or exceptions when the bundle is installed using osgi:install -s mvn:com.mycompany/managed-service-example/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.

I am using apache-servicemix-4.3.1-fuse-01-09.

Here is the manifest:

Manifest-Version: 1.0

Export-Package: mycompany.service;uses:="mycompany.logging,org.osgi.

framework,org.osgi.service.cm"

Built-By: sdahl

Tool: Bnd-1.15.0

Bundle-Name: MyCompany :: Sample managed service

Created-By: Apache Maven Bundle Plugin

Bundle-Vendor: MyCompany

Build-Jdk: 1.6.0_24

Bundle-Version: 1.0.0.SNAPSHOT

Bnd-LastModified: 1305826046010

Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2

Bundle-Activator: mycompany.service.ManagedServiceActivator

Bundle-Description: This managed service uses config admin to dynamica

lly change config at run time.

Import-Package: mycompany.logging,org.apache.log4j.spi;version="[1.2.

16,1.3)",org.osgi.framework;version="[1.5,2)",org.osgi.service.cm;ver

sion="[1.3,2)"

Bundle-SymbolicName: mycompany.managed-service-example

Will someone please let me know what I'm missing?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

A quick question, is your customer bundle status is "Active"? And there's no any exception even in the log?

Yes, the status is active and there are no messages, errors or otherwise.

In the meantime, I was able to get the bundle running inside eclipse and the start method is being called and the bundle registered as a managed service. Interesting that the same bundle has different behavior running in Fuse ESB and an OSGI Framework run configuration in eclipse...

I just did an uninstall and clean install of bundle and it now registering as a managed service with start being called. Not sure if it is because I did a fresh install rather than an update (even though I check the header it the bundle appeared to be updated) or because I changed the pom file slightly to use maven-scr-plugin:
