I am trying to deploy the spring osgi application in IBM Websphere liberty server using gemini blueprint virgo DM. While deploying the application, I am facing the below error, says " ....PackageAdmin service is required . Can anyone has an idea on this?

java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.osgi.service.packageadmin.PackageAdmin service is required at org.eclipse.gemini.blueprint.io.internal.resolver.PackageAdminResolver$1.run(PackageAdminResolver.java:179) at org.eclipse.gemini.blueprint.io.internal.resolver.PackageAdminResolver$1.run(PackageAdminResolver.java:174) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at org.eclipse.gemini.blueprint.io.internal.resolver.PackageAdminResolver.getPackageAdmin(PackageAdminResolver.java:174) at org.eclipse.gemini.blueprint.io.internal.resolver.PackageAdminResolver.getImportedBundles(PackageAdminResolver.java:67) at org.eclipse.gemini.blueprint.io.OsgiBundleResourcePatternResolver.findClassPathMatchingResources(OsgiBundleResourcePatternResolver.java:217) at org.eclipse.gemini.blueprint.io.OsgiBundleResourcePatternResolver.findResources(OsgiBundleResourcePatternResolver.java:154) at org.eclipse.gemini.blueprint.io.OsgiBundleResourcePatternResolver.getResources(OsgiBundleResourcePatternResolver.java:186) at org.eclipse.gemini.blueprint.context.support.AbstractOsgiBundleApplicationContext.getResources(AbstractOsgiBundleApplicationContext.java:439) at org.eclipse.virgo.web.dm.ServerOsgiBundleXmlWebApplicationContext.getResources(ServerOsgiBundleXmlWebApplicationContext.java:346) at org.springframework.context.annotation.ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider.findCandidateComponents(ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider.java:270) at org.springframework.context.annotation.ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner.doScan(ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner.java:248) at org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScanBeanDefinitionParser.parse(ComponentScanBeanDefinitionParser.java:87) at org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.NamespaceHandlerSupport.parse(NamespaceHandlerSupport.java:74) at org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.BeanDefinitionParserDelegate.parseCustomElement(BeanDefinitionParserDelegate.java:1411) at org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.BeanDefinitionParserDelegate.parseCustomElement(BeanDefinitionParserDelegate.java:1401) at org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader.parseBeanDefinitions(DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader.java:172) at org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader.doRegisterBeanDefinitions(DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader.java:142) at org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader.registerBeanDefinitions(DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader.java:94) at org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader.registerBeanDefinitions(XmlBeanDefinitionReader.java:508) at org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader.doLoadBeanDefinitions(XmlBeanDefinitionReader.java:392) ... 25 more

  • I believe the title is wrong, Gemini Blueprint is the implementation of blueprints in Eclipse Virgo, but the problem is related to IBM Liberty. So "Gemini Blueprint" should be remove from the title and also the tag eclipse-virgo should be removed. – GianMaria Romanato Sep 19 '17 at 13:14

Starting from fixpack 8.5.5.9 of Liberty, PackageAdmin will not be available to the application region unless you create a custom Liberty feature that exports the package admin service using the IBM-API-Service header.

  1. Create a Liberty feature as explained in this article

  2. Make sure that the feature exports PackageAdmin as in the example below

  3. Declare your custom feature to server.xml using usr:myfeature 

    Subsystem-ManifestVersion: 1.0
IBM-Feature-Version: 2
IBM-ShortName: myfeature
Subsystem-SymbolicName: myfeature;visibility:=public 
Subsystem-Version: 1.0.0
Subsystem-Type: osgi.subsystem.feature
Manifest-Version: 1.0
IBM-API-Service: javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory,
 org.osgi.service.packageadmin.PackageAdmin,
 org.osgi.service.cm.ConfigurationAdmin

According to the description of a defect fix in 8.5.5.9 fixpack, IBM made this change because Liberty was leaking its own services to the application, so now the OSGi services registered by Liberty are not visible to the application unless you create a feature like the one below to export explicitly those that you need.
