Use the administrative console to list, delete, add, modify,
or show details for links to external bundle repositories.
About this task
The external bundle repositories are bundle repositories that are available outside of WebSphere Application Server. If your OSGi applications reference bundles that are stored in an external bundle repository, you must configure a link (name and URL) to the repository so that the provisioner can retrieve the bundles when required. When an OSGi application is imported as an asset, the provisioner attempts to satisfy all its dependencies by using the contents of the asset, the contents of the internal bundle repository, and the contents of any available external bundle repositories.
Procedure
- Start the administrative console.
- Navigate to .
The list of external bundle repository links is displayed
in the External bundle repositories [Collection] form.
- Delete, add, show, or modify links to external bundle repositories.
- To delete one or more repository links from the list, select the
required links then click Delete.
- To add a new link to an external bundle repository, click New then
type the link properties (name, optional description, and URL of the
bundle repository XML file) into the External bundle repositories [Settings] form.
- To show or modify an existing link to an external bundle repository,
click the name of the link. The link properties are displayed. If
required, modify the link properties (optional description, and URL
of the bundle repository XML file) in the External bundle repositories [Settings] form. You
cannot modify the bundle repository name property.
- Save your changes to the master configuration. If you add or modify a link to an external bundle repository, you must save the changes before you can install an enterprise bundle archive (EBA) that depends on a bundle in that repository.
