Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Enumeration<URL>	findEntries(org.osgi.framework.Bundle bundle, String entryPath) Helper method equivalent to Bundle#getEntry(String entryPath) except that it searches for entries in the fragments by using the findEntries method.
File	getBundleInstallLocation(org.osgi.framework.Bundle bundle) Works with equinox, felix, nuxeo and probably more.
File	getFileInBundle(org.osgi.framework.Bundle bundle, String path) Locate a file inside a bundle.
URL	getFileURL(URL url) Only useful for equinox: on felix we get the file:// url already.

File[]	locateJarsInsideBundle(org.osgi.framework.Bundle bundle) If the bundle is a jar, returns the jar.

Method Detail

getBundleInstallLocation

File getBundleInstallLocation(org.osgi.framework.Bundle bundle)
                              throws Exception

Works with equinox, felix, nuxeo and probably more. Not exactly in the spirit of OSGi but quite necessary to support self-contained webapps and other situations.

Currently only works with bundles that are not jar.

Parameters:

bundle - The bundle

Returns:

Its installation location as a file.

Throws:

Exception

getFileInBundle

File getFileInBundle(org.osgi.framework.Bundle bundle,
                   String path)
                     throws Exception

Locate a file inside a bundle.

Parameters:

bundle -

path -

Returns:

file object

Throws:

Exception

locateJarsInsideBundle

File[] locateJarsInsideBundle(org.osgi.framework.Bundle bundle)
                              throws Exception

If the bundle is a jar, returns the jar. If the bundle is a folder, look inside it and search for jars that it returns.

Good enough for our purpose (TldLocationsCache when it scans for tld files inside jars alone. In fact we only support the second situation for development purpose where the bundle was imported in pde and the classes kept in a jar.

Parameters:

bundle -

Returns:

The jar(s) file that is either the bundle itself, either the jars embedded inside it.

Throws:

Exception

findEntries

Enumeration<URL> findEntries(org.osgi.framework.Bundle bundle,
                           String entryPath)

Helper method equivalent to Bundle#getEntry(String entryPath) except that it searches for entries in the fragments by using the findEntries method.

Parameters:

bundle -

entryPath -

Returns:

null or all the entries found for that path.

getLocalURL

URL getLocalURL(URL url)

Only useful for equinox: on felix we get the file:// or jar:// url already. Other OSGi implementations have not been tested

Get a URL to the bundle entry that uses a common protocol (i.e. file: jar: or http: etc.).

Returns:

a URL to the bundle entry that uses a common protocol

getFileURL

URL getFileURL(URL url)

Only useful for equinox: on felix we get the file:// url already. Other OSGi implementations have not been tested

Get a URL to the content of the bundle entry that uses the file: protocol. The content of the bundle entry may be downloaded or extracted to the local file system in order to create a file: URL.

Returns:

a URL to the content of the bundle entry that uses the file: protocol
