How do I get JBoss AS 7.2 to register my OSGi services when the bundle is loaded? -

i have created small sample project have reference implementation of osgi spring (i.e. blueprint), , can bundles install, resolve , start ok, service not registered when bundle starts.

i've made entire project available on github can take @ source - jars output build in artifacts folder, can build project running gradle assemble.

as i've understood blueprint specification, , particularly this guide, there no need activator class register services if configuration files in right place - in jar, have following under osgi-inf/blueprint/sillyservice.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <blueprint xmlns="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0">      <bean id="sillyservice" class="se.sunstone.silly.service.serviceimpl"         init-method="startservice">     </bean>      <service ref="helloservice"         interface="com.sample.blueprint.helloworld.api.helloworldservice" /> </blueprint> 

when deploying bundle, jboss reports bundle active.

when deploy client bundle, there activator class runs following snippet list all registered services:

servicereference[] refs = context.getallservicereferences(null, null); if (refs != null) {     logger.info(string.format("there %s references", refs.length));      (servicereference ref : refs) {         logger.info(ref);     } } else {     logger.info("there no registered services."); } 

a bunch of services registered osgi framework inside jboss listed, not sillyservice.

what need make work?

to enable blueprint functionality, need install blueprint extender bundle. there 2 implementations available: apache aries , eclipse gemini. recommend aries, available http://aries.apache.org/
