OSGI expose An "ClassNotFoundException: org.w3c.dom.***" Error when release

Question

I only wrote the following codes in Activator.start() function

    public void start(BundleContext bundleContext) throws Exception {
    Activator.context = bundleContext;
    Node node = new Node() {

        @Override
        public Object setUserData(String arg0, Object arg1, UserDataHandler arg2) {

    node.normalize();
}

Everything goes well when run in eclipse environment, but, when release the product, ERRORS in log when runs:

Root exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/dom/Node

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.w3c.dom.Node

Anyone can give some help?

Answer 1

OSGi gives access to system packages but only java.* packages by default, this does not include other packages like: javax.net , javax.xml , com.sun

Thus it is necessary to specify any of such packages for OSGi framework to export them through the system bundle making them accessible to other bundles that import them.

To do that you need to set a configuration property with the additional packages required by your bundles, try setting it as a system property before starting the OSGi framework such that it picks up this property when it first starts.

Assuming you are on OSGi 4.2, that property would be configured like:

org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra=org.w3c.dom

You may want to check the Apache Felix Framework Configuration Properties for more details, though this property is part of the OSGi spec and thus should be available in other implementations as well

Answer 2

Please update your question to include the bundle's MANIFEST.MF

It looks like org.w3c.dom is not implicitly provided in your production. Check the Import-Package header, may be you don't have Import-Package: org.w3c.dom
