@Reference annotation not working

Avatar

Level 4

I am missing something here. I am creating a new class and waht to have the resource resolver factory loaded using the @Reference annotation.

But it is not working and I am always getting an NPE when I use it.

Would someone help me to understand why? What am I missing?

Thanks.

@Component(metatype = false, immediate = true)

@Service(value = TestComponent.class)

@Properties({ @org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Property(name = Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION, value = "TestComponent"),

        @org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Property(name = Constants.SERVICE_VENDOR, value = GeneralConstants.VENDOR),

        @org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Property(name = "process.label", value = "TestComponent") })

public class TestComponentImpl implements TestComponent {

    protected static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger( TestComponent.class);

    @Reference( policy = ReferencePolicy.STATIC )

    private ResourceResolverFactory resolverFactory;

Hi,

resourceResolver = new ReadServiceImpl().getResourceResolver(); 

That's the problem. You are constructing the ReadServiceImpl via Constructor, and in that way SCR cannot inject any references. You should make the ReadServiceImpl a service and let SCR manage its lifecycle.

Seems like I was right with my suggestion! Hopefully you can resolve this issue now by actually referencing the ReadService you referenced the DataSourceLookup!
