== karaf-boot-sample-service-provider-osgi ==
This sample exposes an OSGi service using the Karaf util classe and annotation.
= Design
This artifact uses the hello service provided by another artifact (karaf-boot-sample-service-provider-ds for instance).
It uses the DS annotations to create a bean with a reference (@Reference) to the hello service. In the HelloServiceClient bean, we use the @Activate annotation to execute a specific method.
You don't think anything else: karaf-boot will generate all the plumbing for you, and you will directly have a ready to use artifact.
= Build
To build, simply do:
mvn clean install
= Deploy
To deploy in Karaf, you have to enable the DS support first. For that, you have to install the scr feature:
feature:install scr
Once scr feature installed:
you can drop the generated jar file (target/karaf-boot-sample-service-consumer-ds-1.0.jar) in the Karaf deploy folder
in the Karaf shell console, do:
bundle:install -s mvn:karaf-boot-samples/karaf-boot-sample-service-consumer-ds/1.0
