Pazzo, see my post from a few weeks ago: http://markmail.org/message/admkhniktnvnfid5
I've simply modified the Cayenne JAR adding the OSGi metadata. It is now deployed separately as a bundle. Then, I have another bundle which contains the domain classes and some code for loading the configuration and setting the context class loader (Thread.setContextClassLoader()) whenever I call a Cayenne function from within my persistence bundle. That way Cayenne can load my domain classes. Maybe that helps you along a bit. I'm extremely busy at the moment and haven't had time to produce a patch to make Cayenne more or less work out of the box in an OSGi environment but this is definitely still on my task list. What I think needs doing in Cayenne at some point is: - Change the Cayenne POM to generate OSGi metadata (currently I'm still using my own unpublished tool (not Maven-based) but it should be possible to do this with [1], too) - An idea I've had is to figure out a way to improve domain class loading in Cayenne so you can mark a bundle containing Cayenne domain classes and use the extender model to give Cayenne access to the bundle. That way, it can use the right class loader to load these classes without you having to fiddle with the context class loader. But right now, I'm afraid, I can't promise anything when exactly I get to this. I hope sometime next month. Good luck!
