org.apache.felix.scr dependency in AEM 6.2 / 6.3

[jakej40603950]

I noticed that org.apache.felix.scr is exported by one of the bundles in AEM
6.0 but not in AEM 6.3. There seems to be a bundle by name of org.apache.felix.scr in 6.3 also but it doesn't export the same package.

Is this expected? Or this is a bug with my copy of 6.3?

Should the org.apache.felix.scr jar be installed as an external dependency in 6.3 if it's being used by any custom bundle?

Hello..any help on this?

Hey Jake,

Happy New Year!

For 6.3 you should be moving to the OSGi Service annotations.

Official OSGi Declarative Services Annotations in AEM - Adobe Experience Manager | AEM/CQ | Apache S...

SCR is still there, but it's merely used for bundles that are not yet migrated to the OSGi annotations for your own code OSGi annotations should be the way forward.

Thanks,

Peter

Thanks Peter.

I wasn't talking about the annotations but classes like org.apache.felix.scr.ScrService and org.apache.felix.scr.Component which do not appear to be present in 6.2 and 6.3 in the org.apache.felix.scr bundle.

Any way around this?

I'm using these classes to get the state of a Component (active / inactive).

Hi,

Apologies re-looked at your question, have a look at:ServiceComponentRuntime (http://javadox.com/org.osgi/osgi.cmpn/6.0.0/org/osgi/service/component/runtime/ServiceComponentRunti... )

It can do following things:

final Collection<ComponentDescriptionDTO> descs = scrService.getComponentDescriptionDTOs(bundle);

for(final ComponentDescriptionDTO d : descs)

{

   if ( !scrService.isComponentEnabled(d))

  {

  disabled.add(d);

  }

   else
   {

   final Collection<ComponentConfigurationDTO> configs = scrService.getComponentConfigurationDTOs(d);

   if ( configs.isEmpty() )

  {

  disabled.add(d);

  }

   else
   {

  configurations.addAll(configs);

  }

  }

}
