Description

Hello,

I was trying to create a REST application with karaf.
I know there are examples over the internet showing how this can be achieved (like this one), but usually they use blueprints as DI. My goal is to use Declarative Service instead.

I followed this guide: it uses Karaf 3.0.3 and CXF 3.1.0, but I *think* it should work with 4.1.1 as well.

By doing the following:

karaf@root()> feature:install scr http pax-cdi-web-weld
karaf@root()> feature:repo-add cxf 3.1.11
Adding feature url mvn:org.apache.cxf.karaf/apache-cxf/3.1.11/xml/features
karaf@root()> feature:install cxf/3.1.11 cxf-jaxrs-cdi/3.1.11

Karaf gives the following error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No inital startlevel yet
        at org.apache.felix.framework.FrameworkStartLevelImpl.setStartLevel(FrameworkStartLevelImpl.java:131)
        at org.apache.karaf.main.Main.setStartLevel(Main.java:605)
        at org.apache.karaf.main.Main$KarafLockCallback.lockAquired(Main.java:711)
        at org.apache.karaf.main.Main.doMonitor(Main.java:382)
        at org.apache.karaf.main.Main.access$100(Main.java:75)
        at org.apache.karaf.main.Main$3.run(Main.java:369)

Furthermore, karaf won't return the console control to me, but remains stuck waiting nothing.

It's highly possible that my procedure to install pax-cdi and cxf is flawed, but I still think that showing that error on the console and letting the shell going unresponsive are a bug of karaf (or a bug of the underlying OSGi framework, aka felix itself).

Sorry if this behaviour is not a bug at all, but is just caused by my ignorance of the tool.
Regards,
