I'm currently working on an OSGi application running under apache Karaf that uses JPA and QueryDSL.
I was wondering if I could use Spring Data with QueryDSL instead of the current approach.
The reason for this is that I find Spring repositories to be quite useful and having a template for NoSQL database accesses might be useful in the future.
I have tried to start a normal spring application without a web context with OSGi but I get a ClassNoutFoundException when it tries to load the applicationContext.xml or the ApplicationContext.class.
I don't want to use Spring DM since it is discontinued.
Basically the sole reason for wanting to try this integration is for the Spring Repositories, but if you think this is not necessary please tell me. Any information regarding how to achive this or if it's ok to persue this would be more than welcome.
Thank you
Update
I've managed to make spring work by starting the application context with org.eclipse.gemini.blueprint.context.support.OsgiBundleXmlApplicationContext
. The applicationContext is exported in OSGi as a service and I can get all the beans that I need by calling it.
The problem I'm having right now is that when I declare <jpa:repositories base-package="x.y.z" />
I get the following exception:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.dao.annotation.PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor#0' defined in URL [bundle://251.13:0/META-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: No persistence exception translators found in bean factory. Cannot perform exception translation.

As a JPA provider I'm using OpenJPA. The entityManagerFactory is a service which I can get by using the blueprint. I think I need to reference it in <jpa:repositories base-package="x.y.z" />
, but how do I do that since the applicationContext.xml is read by spring and not the blueprint?
I would really appreciate any hint in the right direction.
Thank you
The Open Service Gateway Initiative is a specification defining a Java-based component system. It's currently managed by the OSGi Alliance, and its first version dates back to 1999. Since then, it has proved to be a great standard for component systems, and it's widely used nowadays.
You cant actually use both of them in the same application. For backwards compatibility. We are expanding our application and want to start using Spring Data JPA, but still keep the old hibernate implementation. Its better you develop your new application as a separate microservice and use spring data jpa ..
The OSGi (Open Service Gateway Initiative) specification is a Java framework for developing and deploying modular software programs and libraries.
OSGi features The OSGi tools include a model for assembling an application into a deployable unit. The unit can consist of multiple bundles and includes the metadata that describes the version and external location of the constituent bundles of the application. Runtime components.
Use Querydsl-SQL directly in your code and
Do not use Spring, spring-data, JPA and other monoholitic technologies together with OSGi as
People who argue with this, already spent lots of time on finding such workarounds. They managed to implement some business logic. They hope that they now truly found workarounds for every conceptual issue and they do not have to spend the same amount of work next time. They are in a bidding fee auction. Be honest guys! Somewhere deep you know I am right ;-).
I am saying this with the experience that I
