42<h2><a name="ApacheFelixShellService-Overview"></a>Overview</h2>
43
44<p>In order to interact with Felix it is necessary to have some sort of
45interactive shell that allows you to issue commands to the framework
46and to obtain information from it. The OSGi specification does not
47define how an OSGi framework should provide this interactivity. Felix
48defines a shell service for creating and executing arbitrary commands.
49The shell service does not define a user interface, only a service API.</p>
50
51<p>The benefit of the Felix shell service approach is that it is possible to:</p>
52
53<ul>
54 <li>have multiple shell user interfaces (e.g., textual and graphical),</li>
55 <li>add custom commands to the shell (i.e., bundles can make commands available via the shell service), and</li>
56 <li>use the shell service from other bundles/services.</li>
57</ul>
58
59
60<p>The remainder of this document describes how the shell service works
61and how to create custom commands for it. This document does not
62describe how to use the command shell, nor does it describe the
63text-based or GUI-based user interfaces that are available for the
64shell.</p>

68<h2><a name="ApacheFelixShellService-HowtheShellServiceWorks"></a>How the Shell Service Works</h2>
69
70<p>The Felix shell service is intended to be a simple, but extensible
71shell service that can have multiple user interface implementations,
72all of which are independent from the Felix framework. The shell
73service is currently not intended to be sophisticated, rather it is
74just a mechanism to execute commands. The shell service maintains a
75list of command services, each of which have a unique command name. The
76shell service is defined by the following service interface:</p>

128<p>Using the shell service interface, it is possible to access and
129execute available commands. The shell service methods perform the
130following functions:</p>
131
132<ul>
133 <li><tt>getCommands()</tt> - returns an array of strings that correspond to the names of the installed shell commands.</li>
134 <li><tt>getCommandUsage()</tt> - returns the command usage string for a particular command name</li>
135 <li><tt>getCommandDescription()</tt> - returns a short description for a particular command name.</li>
136 <li><tt>getCommandReference()</tt> - returns the service reference for a particular command name.</li>
137 <li><tt>executeCommand()</tt> - executes a particular command using the specified command line and print streams.</li>
138</ul>
139
140
141<p>Most of the shell service methods require no explanation except for
142the executeCommand() method. Even though this method is the most
143complex, it is still fairly simplistic. The assumption of the shell
144service is that a command line will be typed by the user (or perhaps
145constructed by a GUI) and passed into it for execution. The shell
146service interprets the command line in a very simplistic fashion; it
147takes the leading string of characters terminated by a space character
148(not including it) and assumes that this leading token is the command
149name. Consider the following command line:</p>

154</div></div>
155
156<p>The shell service interprets this as an <tt>update</tt> command and
157will search for a command service with the same name. If a
158corresponding command service is not found, then it will print an error
159message to the error print stream. If a corresponding command service
160is found, then it will pass the entire command line string and the
161print streams into the <tt>executeCommand()</tt> method of the command service (for a more detailed description of command services, see the next section).</p>
162
163<p>Notice that there is no method to add commands to the shell service
164interface. This is because commands are implemented as OSGi services
165and the shell service listens for service events and when a command
166service registers/unregisters it automatically updates its list of
167commands accordingly.</p>

171<h2><a name="ApacheFelixShellService-HowCommandsWork"></a>How Commands Work</h2>
172
173<p>All commands available in the shell service are implemented as OSGi
174services. The advantage of this approach is two-fold: the shell service
175can leverage OSGi service events to maintain its list of available
176commands and the set available commands is dynamically extendable by
177installed bundles. The command service interface is defined as follows:</p>

207<p>The semantics of the command service methods are:</p>
208
209<ul>
210 <li><tt>getName()</tt> - returns the name of the command; this must not contain whitespace and must be unique.</li>
211 <li><tt>getUsage()</tt>
212- returns the usage string of the command; this should be one line and
213as short as possible (this is used for generating the help command
214output).</li>
215 <li><tt>getShortDescription()</tt> - returns a short
216description of the command; this should be one line and as short as
217possible (this is used for generating the help command output).</li>
218 <li><tt>execute()</tt> - executes the command's functionality using supplied command line and print streams.</li>

379directory must exist. Once you have compiled all of the above classes,
380you need to create a bundle JAR file of the generated package

425
426<p>The shell service security handling is quite simple, all security is
427handled by the standard OSGi framework mechanisms. For example, if a
428bundle should not be able to register a shell service, then it should
429not be given the corresponding service permission. Security handling
430may change in future release after some experience is gained through
431usage.</p>
