Cannot load oracle jdbc driver

[eloyot]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to run a simple example that uses Camel, Hibernate in an OSGi bundle using SMX 4.4.

When the example route is executed SMX complains that it can't load the jdbc driver I am using:

Cannot load JDBC driver class 'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver'

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver not found from bundle ...

I tried to force this class to be included in my bundle by using the <Export-Package> tab but the bundler plugin gives me a warning that this is an unnecessary instruction and does not load the class. I think this is because the class in not used in the code only in the JDBC connection configuration.

I also tried using <Embed-Dependency> to include the oracle jar file but this leaves some required dependency out and the bundle won't start. I've attached my config file and pom.

Thanks,

Ed

I Don't know if this is the correct answer but it certainly worked well for me.

1.- Download the oracle jdbc driver (jar file)

2.- Download the biz.aQute.bnd.jar from this site: http://www.aqute.biz/Bnd/Download , rename it to bnd.jar

3.- Convert the oracle jdbc driver jar into an osgi bundle (so you can deploy it into fuse esb) using the command: java -jar bnd.jar wrap oracle_jdbc_driver.jar

4.- Copy and paste the generated file to the deploy  folder on your fuse esb

5.- Now, this bundle is exporting all the classes you need for using oracle jdbc into any other osgi bundle you want

Thanks Rogelio, that worked perfectly.

Thanks Freemen,

I still need to learn a lot more about OSGi. I don't know how to build and deploy a fragment bundle.

Thanks,

It would seem this is a common question. It might be a good candidate for documentation. Once I figure out and thoroughly understand the right way to do it I can write it up in a how-to if this would be useful.

Hi eloyot,

If you have created the how-to please point the link to me. I am stuck with creating fragment bundle...
