Register a command provider as an OSGi service in order to make it available to the Home Automation Manager.

• Register your provider as and OSGi service of type com.prosyst.mbs.services.ham.spi.CommandProvider and also of type com.prosyst.mbs.services.configtree.Configurable in order for the commands to be available in the Config Tree.
• Provide the following service registration properties:

Alternatively, use the createRegistrationProperties() method from BaseCommandProvider to build the dictionary automatically.

The following example shows a service provider Activator class that registers the command provider from the previous example

package demo.command.impl;

import org.osgi.framework.BundleActivator;

import org.osgi.framework.BundleContext;

import org.osgi.framework.ServiceRegistration;

import com.prosyst.mbs.services.configtree.Configurable;

import com.prosyst.mbs.services.ham.spi.CommandProvider;

public class Activator implements BundleActivator {

  private static BundleContext context;

  static BundleContext getContext() {

    return context;

  }

  DemoCommandProvider provider;

  ServiceRegistration servRerg;

  public void start(BundleContext bundleContext) throws Exception {

    Activator.context = bundleContext;

    provider = new DemoCommandProvider();

    servRerg = context.registerService(

        // The provider class is registered both as

        // a CommandProvider and as a Configurable

        new String[] { CommandProvider.class.getName(), Configurable.class.getName() }, provider, provider.createRegistrationProperties());

   }

  public void stop(BundleContext bundleContext) throws Exception {

    if (provider != null) {

      provider.release();

      provider = null;

    }

    if (servRerg != null) {

      servRerg.unregister();

      servRerg = null;

    }

  }

}
