OSGi just won't launch upon Domino server startup, out of ideas

Question

In trying to load the latest Extension Library, (9.0.1.v00_11_20141217-1000) using the UpdateSite.nsf on a Windows server, OSGi just doesn't want to come up after issuing:

tell http quit 
load http 

Even after restarting the server with the OSGI_HTTP_DYNAMIC_BUNDLES set to my servers' updatesite.nsf and after importing the site.xml for the Extension Library from OpenNTF. I 've signed the contents, signed the database, checked the Security in the Server Doc.

Here's what gets loaded, dated 2014-08-01:

tell http osgi ss com.ibm.xsp.extlib

Does anyone have a suggestion what to do about this?

Answer 1

If your server's version matches with the used Extlib version (9.0.1) then please check if you have other plugins installed via the file system (as Frantisek mentioned). Check the folder <YourDominoBinary>\osgi\shared\eclipse\plugins for JAR files that contain "extlib" and "8.5.3". This might occur if you upgraded from 8.5.3 to 9.0.x so the files were not removed. Normally you wouldn't run into trouble but I had that scenario, too, and all I had to do was to delete them / move them elsewhere. After that the plugin files from your updatesite should load.

Another idea: the Extlib package contains 2 versions: one for DDE, one for the server. Please check that you put the right one into your updatesite.

Always remember to restart the server completely (after modifying notes.ini) or to restart the HTTP task completely via "restart task http" after modifying your updatesite content.
