Internal bundle repository [Settings]
The internal bundle repository can store bundles that are referenced by OSGi applications running in WAS. This panel records the details of a bundle that is installed in the internal bundle repository. The provisioner can then retrieve the bundle when it is included by reference in any of your OSGi applications. We can store bundles and composite bundles in the internal repository. If the bundle is a composite bundle, extra fields are visible.
To view this panel in the administrative console, click the following path:
Environment > OSGi bundle repositories > Internal bundle repository > bundle_name
When you import an enterprise bundle archive (EBA) file as an asset, or update an asset to use new bundle versions, or add a composite bundle as an extension to a composition unit, provisioning ensures that all the required OSGi bundles are available. An OSGi application can use bundles from external repositories, bundles from the internal repository, and bundles that are included in an EBA file or a composite bundle archive (CBA) file. If your bundle includes Blueprint XML files that specify service or reference elements, and the bundle is included in a EBA asset or installed in the internal bundle repository, then these elements are respected during provisioning and appropriate services are provisioned when needed. See Provisioning for OSGi applications.
Composite bundles can either be included directly in the applications, or provisioned from the internal bundle repository or from an external repository that can process composite bundles. If you install a composite bundle in a bundle repository, and the composite bundle includes bundles by reference, ensure that the referenced bundles are also available in the same repository. If you use the internal bundle repository, and the composite bundle directly contains bundles, the contained bundles are not listed separately and are only available as part of the composite bundle.
