Sergey Beryozkin commented on CXF-6347: --------------------------------------- Ok, if 'Bundle-ActivationPolicy: lazy' is not set, what does it mean to Equinox ? Do not call activators at all ? I'm def not an OSGI expert but it appears to be nether standard not correct... And this is why I also asked, what if we do set this headers and then Karaf will start honouring it and not calling CXF activators when CXF bundles are loaded - while we do want them be called when they are loaded > CXF bundle activators not called in Eclipse/Equinox > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CXF-6347 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-6347 > Project: CXF > Issue Type: Bug > Components: OSGi > Affects Versions: 3.0.4 > Environment: Eclipse 4.4 > Reporter: Thorsten Meinl > > The CXF bundles have OSGi activators that perform initialization stuff such > as looking for CXF services in other bundles. However, in Equinox the bundle > activators are not called unless one explicitly starts the bundles. The > default strategy in Equinox is not to start bundles, unless the > "Bundle-ActivationPolicy" is set to "lazy". Therefore this header should be > added to all bundles so that CXF (esp. the client) is also usable inside an > Eclipse application. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
