This section provides information about configuring the OSGi framework by updating the following files in the
$SERVER_HOME/lib
directory:
Table 11.7. OSGi Framework Configuration Files
Property File | Description |
---|---|
org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.launch.properties | Configures OSGi framework properties. |
java6-server.profile | Configures the OSGi framework profile. |
You specify the framework properties in the $SERVER_HOME/lib/org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.launch.properties
file. The
properties most relevant to users are described in the following table.
WARNING: We strongly recommend that you update only the
org.eclipse.virgo.suppress.heap.dumps
property; updating the other properties could cause VWS
to fail. These properties are documented for your information only.
Table 11.8. Framework Properties
Property | Description |
---|---|
launcher.bundles |
This property lists the bundles that comprise the kernel using file: URIs.
Bundles to be started are tagged with a trailing @start .
|
org.eclipse.virgo.suppress.heap.dumps |
Set to 'false' by default this property will prevent heap dumps being contributed to dumps taken during a
First Failure Data Capture (FFDC) event. When the heap dumps are produced they will be located along with
the other dump artifacts in the $SERVER_HOME/serviceability/dump/ folder.
|
osgi.console | Specifies the port number which will be used by an Equinox console attached to the kernel. The usual port number is 2402, to avoid clashing with any console attached to the user region. If specified, the Equinox console is enabled (without the Equinox Console Extension) during kernel start. If not specified, the Equinox console is not available for the kernel. |
osgi.java.profile |
Specifies the profile to use using a file: URI with default value
file:lib/java6-server.profile .
|
You specify the framework profile in the $SERVER_HOME/lib/java6-server.profile
file. The
properties most relevant to users are described in the following table.
WARNING: We advise you not to change the framework profile unless you are sure you know exactly what you are doing; updating the profile could cause VWS to fail.
Table 11.9. Framework Profile Properties
Property | Description |
---|---|
org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation |
This property specifies the packages which are loaded by delegation to the application class loader.
Bundles can load classes belonging to these packages without importing the packages.
The A common reason for adding packages to this property is to run VWS under a performance profiler. |
org.osgi.framework.system.packages |
This property specifies the packages which are exported by the system bundle.
It is very occasionally necessary to extend the set, for example when configuring email logging appenders since the
implementation of
To make the corresponding classes available for loading, the relevant JAR file(s) should be placed in
