OSGI R7 annotation

Avatar

Level 3

Hi,

I have created a project using AEM Archetype 17 and followed this article. I am able to use other osgi R7 annotations like @ServiceDescription or @ServiceVendor. But I am not able to use @Activate on configuration like this:

@Activate

private MyServiceConfiguration config;

I am getting error '@Activate not applicable to field' in intelliJ idea and while maven build I am getting error 'annotation type not applicable to this kind of declaration'.

Feike Visser​ Could you please have a look. I guess its your article. I am using AEM 6.4, jdk 1.8, Maven 3.5.4.

The error message is quite clear: You cannot annotate a field with the @Activate method, but only a method.

Activation Fields

In addition to supporting injecting activation objects using constructor injection, and also method injection via the activate method, DS 1.4 adds support for field injection of activation objects. A field of the type of an activation object can be annotated with Activate and SCR will inject the activation object into the field after object construction.

@Activate private ComponentContext context;
@Activate private BundleContext bc;

@Activate private Map<String,Object> componentProps;

@Activate private Props props;

check the version of maven-bundle-plugin (should be 4.1.0) or bnd plugin (should be 4.1) is the root cause?  Archetype 17 should have generated R7 versions but no harm in validating the effective pom/versions

Guys,

The issue is, there are more than one jar which has Activate class, due to this the class which support @Actiavate annotation with field is not getting used.

To fix this issue, just update below dependency version to 7 in parent POM. and rebuild the project. Hope this will help.

Let me know if further issue, I am able to successfully build the project using R7 annotation.

     <dependency>

                <groupId>org.osgi</groupId>

                <artifactId>osgi.cmpn</artifactId>

                <version>7.0.0</version>

                <scope>provided</scope>

            </dependency>

With the changes to osgi.cmpn dependency version, build is successful but bundle is getting installed state. org.osgi.service.event is not resolved. org.osgi.service.event is imported as [1.4,2) whereas in AEM 6.4 version 1.3.1 is available which is exported by Apache Felix EventAdmin bundle.

So I am able to build but not deploy.

Hi Add below dependency as well in parent and core pom

<dependency>

<groupId>org.osgi</groupId>

<artifactId>org.osgi.compendium</artifactId>

<version>5.0.0</version>

<scope>provided</scope>

</dependency>

Please let me know, I can share my package.

Edit:

you should use below dependency instead of above (org.osgi.compendium)

<dependency> 

    <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId> 

    <artifactId>org.apache.felix.eventadmin</artifactId> 

    <version>1.4.10</version> 

    <scope>provided</scope> 

</dependency>

reordering the dependencies in core pom worked for me. I faced the same issue.

CORE POM

<dependencies>

<dependency>

  <groupId>org.osgi</groupId>

  <artifactId>org.osgi.service.component</artifactId>

  </dependency>

  <dependency>

  <groupId>org.osgi</groupId>

  <artifactId>org.osgi.service.component.annotations</artifactId>

</dependency>

<dependency>

  <groupId>org.osgi</groupId>

  <artifactId>org.osgi.service.metatype.annotations</artifactId>

</dependency>

        <!-- OSGi Dependencies -->

        <dependency>

            <groupId>org.osgi</groupId>

            <artifactId>osgi.core</artifactId>

        </dependency>

        <dependency>

            <groupId>org.osgi</groupId>

            <artifactId>osgi.cmpn</artifactId>

        </dependency>

        <dependency>

            <groupId>org.osgi</groupId>

            <artifactId>osgi.annotation</artifactId>

        </dependency>

.......................................

PROJECT POM:

add the following deps as given in articles:

<dependency>

  <groupId>org.osgi</groupId>

  <artifactId>org.osgi.service.component.annotations</artifactId>

  <version>1.4.0</version>

  <scope>provided</scope>

</dependency>

<dependency>

  <groupId>org.osgi</groupId>

  <artifactId>org.osgi.annotation</artifactId>

</dependency>

<dependency>

  <groupId>org.osgi</groupId>

  <artifactId>org.osgi.service.component</artifactId>

  <version>1.4.0</version>

  <scope>provided</scope>

This is the right solution and it worked as mentioned by changing the order in core pom.

Now I am able to build, deploy but facing another issue. Junit testcases are not running from intelliJ. I am using junit5 with AEM mock. Previously it used to work. Although while build testcases running fine but I am not able to run individually test case by right click.

Please let me know if you faced this issue.

Any update on how to running Junit test cases in intelliJ ? With @Activate annotation on fields, Junit is not running in IntelliJ Idea.
