 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>This example creates an alternative implementation of the dictionary service defined in Example 2.
 The source code for the bundle is identical except that instead of using English words, French words are used.
 The only other difference is that in this bundle we do not need to define the dictionary service interface again, since we can just import the definition from the bundle in Example 2.
 The main point of this example is to illustrate that multiple implementations of the same service may exist;
 this example will also be of use to us in Example 5.</p>
 </div>
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>In the following source code, the bundle uses its bundle context to register the dictionary service.
 We implement the dictionary service as an inner class of the bundle activator class, but we could have also put it in a separate file.
 The source code for our bundle is as follows in a file called <code>Activator.java</code>:</p>

 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>We must create a manifest.mf file that contains the metadata for our bundle;
 the manifest file contains the following:</p>
 </div>
 <div class="literalblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre>Bundle-Name: French dictionary
 Bundle-Description: A bundle that registers a French dictionary service
 Bundle-Vendor: Apache Felix
 Bundle-Version: 1.0.0
 Bundle-Activator: tutorial.example2b.Activator
 Import-Package: org.osgi.framework,
  tutorial.example2.service</pre>
 </div>
 </div>
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>We specify which class implements the <code>Bundle-Activator</code> interface and also specify that our bundle imports the OSGi core package and the dictionary service interface package using the <code>Import-Package</code> attribute.
 Th dictionary service package will be fulfilled by the bundle in Example 2, which exports this package.
 (Note: Make sure your manifest file ends in a trailing carriage return or else the last line will be ignored.)</p>
 </div>
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>To compile our source code, we need the <code>felix.jar</code> file (found in Felix' <code>bin</code> directory) and the <code>example2.jar</code> file in our class path.
 We compile the source file using a command like:</p>
 </div>
 <div class="literalblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre>javac -d c:\classes *.java</pre>
 </div>
 </div>
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>This command compiles all source files and outputs the generated classes into a subdirectory of the <code>c:\classes</code> directory;
 this subdirectory is <code>tutorial\example2b</code>, named after the package we specified in the source file.
 For the above command to work, the <code>c:\classes</code> directory must exist.
 After compiling, we need to create a JAR file containing the generated package directories.
 We will also add our manifest file that contains the bundle&#8217;s meta-data to the JAR file.
 To create the JAR file, we issue the command:</p>
 </div>
 <div class="literalblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre>jar cfm example2b.jar manifest.mf -C c:\classes tutorial\example2b</pre>
 </div>
 </div>
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>This command creates a JAR file using the manifest file we created and includes all of the classes in the <code>tutorial\example2b</code> directory inside of the c:\classes directory.
 Once the JAR file is created, we are ready to install and start the bundle.</p>
 </div>
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>To run Felix, we follow the instructions described in usage.html.
 When we start Felix, it asks for a profile name, we will put all of our bundles in a profile named <code>tutorial</code>.
 After running Felix, we should make sure that the bundle from Example 1 is active.
 We can use the Felix <code>lb</code> shell command to get a list of all bundles, their state, and their bundle identifier number.
 If the Example 1 bundle is not active, we should start the bundle using the <code>start</code> command and the bundle&#8217;s identifier number that is displayed by the <code>lb</code> command.
 Now we can install and start our dictionary service bundle.
 Assuming that we created our bundle in the directory c:\tutorial, we can install and start it in Felix' shell using the following command:</p>
 </div>
 <div class="literalblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre>start file:/c:/tutorial/example2b.jar</pre>
 </div>
 </div>
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>The above command installs and starts the bundle in a single step;
 it is also possible to install and start the bundle in two steps by using the Felix <code>install</code> and <code>start</code> shell commands.
 To stop the bundle, use the Felix <code>stop</code> shell command.
 If the bundle from Example 1 is still active, then we should see it print out the details of the service event it receives when our new bundle registers its dictionary service.
 Using the Felix shell <code>lb</code> command to get the bundle identifier number for our dictionary service bundle and we can stop and restart it at will using the <code>stop</code> and <code>start</code> commands, respectively.
 Each time we start and stop our dictionary service bundle, we should see the details of the associated service event printed from the bundle from Example 1.
 In Example 3, we will create a client for our dictionary service.
 To exit Felix, we use the <code>shutdown</code> command.</p>
