Installing a composite bundle using the administrative console

You can use the administrative console to install a composite bundle.

Before you begin

You can install a composite bundle in the internal bundle repository by using the administrative console as described in this topic, or by using wsadmin commands as described in Administering bundles in the internal bundle repository using wsadmin commands.

About this task

You install a composite bundle in the internal bundle repository. If the composite bundle directly contains OSGi bundles, these bundles are installed into the repository as though they are individually uploaded, and the composite bundle is also added to the bundle repository. If the composite bundle references OSGi bundles, these bundles must be present in the internal bundle repository.

After a composite bundle is installed in the internal bundle repository, its bundles are available to all applications that wish to use them when the application is resolved.

Procedure

  1. Start the administrative console.
  2. Navigate to Environment > OSGi bundle repositories > Internal bundle repository.
  3. Click New.
    The Upload bundle [Settings] form is displayed.
  4. Enter the path to the composite bundle archive (CBA) file that you want to install. The CBA file can be available on a local or remote file system.
  5. Click OK. The composite bundle is installed. The composite bundle and the bundles that it contains directly are displayed in the list of bundles in the Internal bundle repository [Collection] form.
  6. Save your changes to the master configuration.
