iPOJO generally requires an additional packaging step to preapre prepare the bundle to be managed by iPOJO. Despite this step doesn't change the class semantic, it can be a little annoying. The online manipulator allow to avoid avoids this offline step!

Features
iPOJO is based on a bytecode manipulation. This manipulate is safe
and does not change the class semantics. Classes can still used after the manipulation without iPOJO. However this manipulation is required for iPOJO management. Generally, this manipulation occurs offline during the packaging time. The online manipulator allows to do this manipulation at install time.
...
- avoids offline manipulation
- supports annotations
- supports XSD schema
This is quite useful if you don't want to add an extra packaging step, and provides the same capabilities as the "regular" way.Center

- Install and Start the URL Handler *
This is a requirement. You must install and start the URL handler as well as iPOJO (core). The URL Handler is build by the online-manipulator iPOJO sub-project.
On Felix you can either use thestart
command from the shell of OBR:
Shell Command | OBR |
---|---|
start http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/felix/org.apache.felix.ipojo/1.6.0/org.apache.felix.ipojo-1.6.0.jar
| obr start "Apache Felix iPOJO URL Handler" |
- Install a bundle using the
ipojo:
URL prefix
Using the handler is quite easy. When you want to deploy a non-manipulated iPOJO bundle just use an url likeCode Block install ipojo:file:/.../bundle.jar
...
When using the ipojo:
prefix, the OSGi gateway platform delegates the loading to the url handler manipulating the bundle before its installation. This manipulation is exactly the same as the offline manipulation.
Dealing with metadata
If the installed bundle contains a metadata.xml
file either in its root or in the META-INF
directory, the online manipulator will use it. However, you can also provide an external metadata.xml
file by indicating the url of the file like in
...
If you provide such url, it will override the contained metadata.xml
file.
