Karaf feature for derby datasources

The version of derby provided by pax-jdbc is, at the time of writing, 6 years old.

The reason is that the pax-jdbc project wishes to maintain java8 compatibility.

This project will provide an apache karaf feature to load a DataSourceFactory for embedded Derby

Installing the derby feature in karaf

To install this feature:

start karaf and give the following commands to the karaf console:

feature:repo-add mvn:no.priv.bang.karaf.derby/embedded-derby-karaf-feature/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/xml/features
feature:install embedded-derby-karaf-feature

After this, the liquibase Java API is available to your OSGi applications and the liquibase logging will go to the karaf log.

Using derby from a karaf feature

To use liquibase from your own, manually edited, karaf feature, include the feature’s feature repository and depend on the liquibase-core feature:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<features xmlns="http://karaf.apache.org/xmlns/features/v1.4.0" name="ukelonn.bundle.db.liquibase">
    <repository>mvn:no.priv.bang.karaf.derby/embedded-derby-karaf-feature/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/xml/features</repository>
    <feature name="ukelonn-db-liquibase">
        <feature>embedded-derby-karaf-feature</feature>
    </feature>
</features>

Using derby from a generated karaf feature

If you generate your karaf feature repository using the karaf-maven-plugin, you can include the liquibase-core feature into your generated feature repository, by adding this dependency to the maven project building the feature repository:

<dependency>
    <groupId>no.priv.bang.karaf.derby</groupId>
    <artifactId>embedded-derby-karaf-feature</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <type>xml</type>
    <classifier>features</classifier>
</dependency>
