| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>The goal of the Apache Felix OSGi Bundle Repository (OBR) is two-fold:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="olist arabic"> |
| <ol class="arabic"> |
| <li> |
| <p>To simplify deploying and using available bundles with Felix.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>To encourage independent bundle development so that communities of interest can grow.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>OBR achieves the first goal by providing a service that can automatically install a bundle, with its deployment dependencies, from a bundle repository. |
| This makes it easier for people to experiment with existing bundles. |
| The second goal is achieved by raising the visibility of the available bundles and providing access to both the executable bundle and its source code. |
| Hopefully, by making OBR and the bundles themselves more visible, community members will be encouraged to provide or improve service implementations.</p> |

| <h2 id="_overview"><a class="anchor" href="#_overview"></a>Overview</h2> |
| <div class="sectionbody"> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>As of release 2.0.x Felix OBR also supports the OSGi Repository 1.0 specification. |
| Chapter 132 in the <a href="http://www.osgi.org/Download/Release5">OSGi R5 Enterprise specification</a>. |
| A client can look up the <a href="http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r5/enterprise/org/osgi/service/repository/package-summary.html">OSGi Repository Service</a> in the service registry to interact with Felix OBR in a specification compliant way.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>For the most part, OBR is quite simple. |
| An OBR "repository server" is not necessary, since all functionality may reside on the client side. |
| OBR is able to provide its functionality by reading an XML-based meta-data file that describes the bundles available to it. |
| The meta-data file essentially contains an XML encoding of the bundles' manifest information. |
| From the meta-data, OBR is able to construct dependency information for deploying (i.e., installing and updating) bundles.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>OBR defines the following entities:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="ulist"> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p><strong>Repository Admin</strong> - a service to access a federation of repositories.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p><strong>Repository</strong> - provides access to a set of resources.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p><strong>Resource</strong> - a description of an artifact to be installed on a device.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p><strong>Capability</strong> - a named set of properties.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p><strong>Requirement</strong> - an assertion on a capability.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p><strong>Resolver</strong> - an object to resolve resource dependencies and to deploy them.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p><strong>Repository file</strong> - XML file containing resource meta-data.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>The following diagram illustrates the relationships among these entities:</p> |

| <h2 id="_obr_repository_file"><a class="anchor" href="#_obr_repository_file"></a>OBR Repository File</h2> |
| <div class="sectionbody"> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>The OBR repository file is an XML-based representation of bundle meta-data. |
| The goal is provide a generic model for describing dependencies among resources; |
| as such, the term <strong>resource</strong> is used instead of <strong>bundle</strong> in the OBR repository syntax. |
| As of OBR release 2.0.2 two forms of metadata are supported:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="ulist"> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>Repository XML as defined by the OSGi Repository Specification 1.0. |
| Such an XML file is in the <a href="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/repository/v1.0.0" class="bare">http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/repository/v1.0.0</a> name space.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>A Felix OBR-specific metadata format is also supported. |
| This format predates the format from the specification.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>A detailed description of the standard XML format is described in chapter 132 in the <a href="http://www.osgi.org/Download/Release5">OSGi R5 Enterprise specification</a>. |
| The following XML snippet depicts the overall structure of a repository file, using the proprietary Felix OBR format:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="literalblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre><repository presentationname="..." symbolicname="..." ... > |
| <resource> |
| <description>...</description> |
| <size>...</size> |
| <documentation>...</documentation> |
| <source>...</source> |
| <category id="..."/> |
| <capability>...</capability> |
| ... |
| <requirement>...</requirement> |
| ... |
| </resource> |
| ... |
| </repository></pre> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>The above repository defines a set of available resources, each described by a set of meta-data. |
| Some resource meta-data is purely intended for human consumption; |
| the most important aspects relate to the generic capability/requirement model.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>A resource can provide any number of capabilities. |
| A capability is a typed set of properties. |
| For example, the following is an exported package capability:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="literalblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre><capability name='package'> |
| <p n='package' v='org.foo.bar'/> |
| <p n='version' t='version' v='1.0.0'/> |
| </capability></pre> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>This capability is of type 'package' and exports 'org.foo.bar' at version '1.0.0'. |
| Conversely, a requirement is a typed LDAP query over a set of capability properties. |
| For example, the following is an imported package requirement:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="literalblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre><require name='package' extend='false' |
| multiple='false' optional='false' |
| filter='(&amp;(package=org.foo.bar)(version&gt;=1.0.0))'> |
| Import package org.foo.bar |
| </require></pre> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>This requirement is of type 'package' and imports 'org.foo.bar' at versions greater than '1.0.0'. |
| Although this syntax looks rather complicated with the '\&' and '\>=' syntax, it is simply the standard OSGi LDAP query syntax in XML form (additionally, Peter Kriens has created a tool called <code>bindex</code> to generate this meta-data from a bundle’s manifest).</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>With this generic dependency model, OBR is able to provide mappings for the various OSGi bundle dependencies; |
| e.g., import/export package, provide/require bundle, host/fragment, import/export service, execution environment, and native code. |
| In addition, it is possible for bundles to introduce arbitrary dependencies for custom purposes.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Two other important pieces of meta-data are <code>Bundle-SymbolicName</code> and <code>Bundle-Version</code>; |
| these are standard OSGi bundle manifest attributes that OBR uses to uniquely identify a bundle. |
| For example, if you want to use OBR to update a locally installed bundle, OBR gets its symbolic name and version and searches the repository metadata for a matching symbolic name. |
| If the matching symbolic name is found, then OBR checks if there is a newer version than the local copy using the bundle version number. |
| Thus, the symbolic name plus bundle version forms a unique key to match locally installed bundles to remotely available bundles.</p> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="sect1"> |
| <h2 id="_obr_service_api"><a class="anchor" href="#_obr_service_api"></a>OBR Service API</h2> |
| <div class="sectionbody"> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Typically, OBR service clients only need to interact with the Repository Admin service, which provides the mechanisms necessary to discover available resources. |
| The Repository Admin interface is defined as follows:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="literalblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre>public interface RepositoryAdmin |
| { |
| public Resource[] discoverResources(String filterExpr); |
| public Resolver resolver(); |
| public Repository addRepository(URL repository)? |
| throws Exception; |
| public boolean removeRepository(URL repository); |
| public Repository[] listRepositories(); |
| public Resource getResource(String respositoryId); |
| }</pre> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>In order to resolve and deploy available resources, the Repository Admin provides Resolver instances, which are defined as follows:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="literalblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre>public interface Resolver |
| { |
| public void add(Resource resource); |
| public Requirement[] getUnsatisfiedRequirements(); |
| public Resource[] getOptionalResources(); |
| public Requirement[] getReason(Resource resource); |
| public Resource[] getResources(Requirement requirement); |
| public Resource[] getRequiredResources(); |
| public Resource[] getAddedResources(); |
| public boolean resolve(); |
| public void deploy(boolean start); |
| }</pre> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>When desired resources are discovered via the query mechanisms of the Repository Admin, they are added to a Resolver instance which will can be used to resolve all transitive dependencies and to reflect on any resolution result. |
| The following code snippet depicts a typical usage scenario:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="literalblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre>RepositoryAdmin repoAdmin = ... // Get repo admin service |
| Resolver resolver = repoAdmin.resolver(); |
| Resource resource = repoAdmin.discoverResources(filterStr); |
| resolver.add(resource); |
| if (resolver.resolve()) |
| { |
| resolver.deploy(true); |
| } |
| else |
| { |
| Requirement[] reqs = resolver.getUnsatisfiedRequirements(); |
| for (int i = 0; i < reqs.length; i++) |
| { |
| System.out.println("Unable to resolve: " + reqs[i]); |
| } |
| }</pre> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>This code gets the Repository Admin service and then gets a Resolver instance from it. |
| It then discovers an available resource and adds it to the resolver. |
| Then it tries to resolve the resources dependencies. |
| If successful it deploys the resource to the local framework instance; |
| if not successful it prints the unsatisfied requirements.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>OBR’s deployment algorithm appears simple at first glance, but it is actually somewhat complex due to the nature of deploying independently developed bundles. |
| For example, in an ideal world, if an update for a bundle is made available, then updates for all of the bundles satisfying its dependencies are also made available. |
| Unfortunately, this may not be the case, thus the deployment algorithm might have to install new bundles during an update to satisfy either new dependencies or updated dependencies that can no longer be satisfied by existing local bundles. |
| In response to this type of scenario, the OBR deployment algorithm tries to favor updating existing bundles, if possible, as opposed to installing new bundles to satisfy dependencies.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>In the general case, OBR user’s will not use the OBR API directly, but will use its functionality indirectly from another tool or user interface. |
| For example, interactive access to OBR is available via a command for Felix' <a href="apache-felix-shell.html" class="page">shell service</a>. |
| The OBR shell command is discussed in the next section.</p> |

| <p>In contrast to OSGi R4 the previous specifications, most notably R3, allowed bundles without the <code>Bundle-SymbolicName</code> header. |
| The Felix OSGi Bundle Repository implementation heavily relies on the symbolic name being defined in bundles. |
| As a consequence bundles without a symbolic name are not fully supported by the Bundle Repository:</p> |

| <div class="ulist"> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>Bundles installed in the framework are used by the Bundle Repository implementation to resolve dependencies regardless of whether they have a <code>Bundle-SymbolicName</code> header or not. |
| Resolution of dependencies against the installed bundles takes place based on the <code>Export-Package</code> headers.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Bundles installed in the framework without a <code>Bundle-SymbolicName</code> header cannot be updated by the Bundle Repository implementation because updates from the bundle repository cannot be correlated to such "anonymous" bundles.</p> |
