Referencing the services between OSGI bundles – AE
This post explains how to refer the
services between OSGI bundles in Adobe Experience Manager.
Export-Package:
Bundles may export zero or more
packages from the JAR to be consumable by other bundles. The export
list is a comma-separated list of fully-qualified packages, often
with a version attribute. If not specified, the version defaults so
0.0.0.
In the target bundle the packages
contains the required services and the classes exposed to the other
bundles should be exported.
Import-Package
The Import-Package header is
used to declare dependencies at a package level from the bundle. At
runtime, the bundle will be wired up with whatever (compatible)
bundle offers the package.
In the source bundle the packages
contains the required services and classes referred from other bundle
should be imported.
