Converting a persistence archive file to an OSGi bundle

When converting an EAR file to an enterprise bundle archive (EBA) file, you complete manual tasks to convert any persistence archive files in the EAR file to OSGi bundles.

To convert a persistence archive file to an OSGi application bundle:

  1. Define general bundle metadata by adding the following headers to the bundle manifest file, META-INF/MANIFEST.MF:

    Bundle-ManifestVersion

    The version of the syntax in which the bundle manifest file is written. For OSGi Service Platform Release 4, set the value to 2.

    Bundle-Name

    A human-readable name for the bundle.

    Bundle-SymbolicName

    A non-localizable name that identifies the bundle uniquely.

    Bundle-Version

    The version of the bundle. See description of the Bundle-Version header in the bundle manifest file.

    Import-Package

    The external packages on which the bundle depends. See description of the Import-Package header in the bundle manifest file.

    Export-Package

    The packages that are visible outside the bundle. See description of the Export-Package header in the bundle manifest file.

  2. Define bundle-type-specific metadata by adding the following headers to the bundle manifest file:

    Meta-Persistence

    The file path to the persistence.xml file.
