I need to load a component defition (xml file) from outside the jar (bundle).

I've tried to put it under:

  • plugins/my.bundle.name/OSGI-INF/mycomponent.xml
  • plugins/OSGI-INF/mycomponent.xml

And i've played with bundle's classpath too, with no luck.

Declarative Services requires the component description XML to be part of the bundle or any of its attached fragments. The Service-Component header in the bundle's manifest must reference the entry name(s) of the XML file(s).

  • Ok, but is it impossible to have the component description outside the jar? – user2451444 Oct 01 '13 at 17:08
  • It can also be in an attached fragment. But it cannot be somewhere other than a place that is searched by [Bundle.findEntries](http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r5/core/org/osgi/framework/Bundle.html#findEntries(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20boolean)). See 112.4.2 in the spec. – BJ Hargrave Oct 01 '13 at 19:58
