Cannot use PAX URL assembly protocol with automatically running packages in Felix config.properties

Question

I am trying to use the PAX URL so that I can collect unpacked packages on the fly.

If I put pax-url-assembly-1.2.1.jar in autorun pools, then type

install assembly: path / to / my / folder

everything is working. The problem is that I want to provide felix to these folders in the configuration file using> felix.auto.start.1 = assembly: path / to / my / folder

If I do this, I get the exception “Unknown protocol: assembly”.

I tried to load the PAX URL at level 1 and set the initial default level of all other packages to 10. It will not help. I think this is the “System Kit” itself, which reads the configuration before loading any package, and therefore the “build” is not understood.

My guess: I need to tell Felix to load the PAX URL directly when Felix starts.

Any ideas? I got it?:)

Thank!

Try putting the PAX URL in a folder bundlein Apache Felix and run it with the parameters -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=org.ops4j.pax.url.
