Common Problems
- Launching SMX4 Karaf can result in a deadlock in Felix during module dependency resolution. This is often a result of sending a SIGINT (control-C) to the process when it will not cleanly exit. This can corrupt the caches and cause startup problems in the very next launch. It is fixed by emptying the component cache:
Code Block rm -rf data/cache/*
Stopping Karaf
To stop Karaf from the console, enter ^D in the console:
| Code Block |
|---|
^D
|
Alternatively, you can also run the following command:
| Code Block |
|---|
exitosgi:shutdown |
Summary
This document showed you how simple it is to have Apache Felix Karaf up and running. The overall time for getting the server running should be less than five minutes if you have the prerequisite (Java 1.5) already installed. Additionally, this article also showed you how to deploy and test a simple Apache Camel application in less than five minutes.
