Getting NPE while adding fragment as part of a feature in Servicemix 4.2

harbeer Jul 19, 2011 8:41 AM

I am using Servicemix 4.2 to build my application. I have developed one fragment bundle which I have to attach with the Apache CXF bundle jar. To attach the fragment, I did following on the console osgi:uninstall (If Apache CXF bundle is already in active state) osgi:install

Running command osgi:list shows the fragment bundle installed osgi:install osgi:start

This works fine for me.

I tried to automate the process by writing a custom features.xml file The content was as follows

Here the ProcessRunnerJaasLoginModule is the fragment jar. The servicemix is not able to install the fragment bundle, it gives following error in logs

Error when installing feature HWE-Connect: java.lang.NullPointerException

The content of manifest.mf file for fragment bundle is as follows

Manifest-Version: 1.0

Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2

Bundle-SymbolicName: ProcessRunnerJaasLoginModule

Fragment-Host: org.apache.cxf.bundle;bundle-version=2.2.6

Export-Package: com.altair.jaas.module

I am not even able to get sources for servicemix-kernel. Most of the mirrors provided are dead now. Please reply.

L.S.,

A few issues with fragment support and using features to install fragments in more recent versions of Apache ServiceMix (one example is https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1133). If you want/need to use fragments inside Apache ServiceMix, I would strongly recommend upgrading to FUSE ESB 4.3.1-fuse or 4.4.0-fuse as it will help you to avoid a lot of known issues that were fixed between the version you're using and these recent ones.
