## Virgo Shell Command Reference

This section contains reference information about the Virgo shell commands bundle, clhas, clexport, clload, config, packages, par, plan, service, install, shutdown, help, and exit.

### bundle Command

Use the `bundle` command to manage the lifecycle of bundles deployed in Virgo Kernel and to gather information about deployed bundles, such as diagnostic information, header information, and so on.

The following table lists the options you can specify for this command.

Table 8.2. Options of the bundle Command

Option | Description
--- | ---

list

Displays the list of bundles that are currently installed in the current Virgo Kernel instance. With the exception of a few kernel bundles and their services, which Virgo Kernel uses to administer the user region, none of the kernel is visible to user installed artifacts; rather, only the bundles installed in the user region are visible.

Each bundle is identified by an internal `ID` which you can then use with the other `bundle` commands that manage a particular bundle, such as `start` `id`. The `list` command also displays the version of the bundle, along with its state, which is one of the following standard OSGi lifecycle states:

- Installed: The bundle is installed but its dependencies have not yet been resolved.

- Resolved: The bundle is resolved and you can now start it.

- Uninstalled: The bundle is uninstalled and you cannot use it.

- Starting: The bundle is in the process of starting.

- Active: The bundle is running and you can now use it.

- Stopping: The bundle is in the process of stopping.

Use one of the other `bundle` commands to change the state of a bundle. For example, use the `bundle start` `id` command to change the state of a bundle from `Installed` to `Active`.

examine id

Displays detailed information about the specified bundle. Use the `bundle list` command to get the internal id of a particular bundle.

In addition to the information provided by the `bundle list` command (id, full name, version, and state), the `examine` command specifies whether the bundle includes a Spring application context (or is Spring Powered) and the exact physical location of the bundle JAR file.

The `examine` also provides the full list of packages that the bundle imports, as well as the bundles that in turn export these imported packages. Finally, the command displays the packages that the current bundle exports, and then in turn the list of other installed bundles that are currently importing these exported packages.

start id | Starts the specified bundle. Use the `bundle list` command to get the internal id of a particular bundle. After Virgo Kernel successfully starts the bundle, it is listed in the `Active` state.
stop id | Stops the specified bundle. Use the `bundle list` command to get the internal id of a particular bundle. When you stop a bundle, it goes from the `Active` state to the `Resolved` state, and you must re-start it if you want to use the application that the bundle contains.
refresh id | Updates the contents of the specified bundle. Use the `bundle list` command to get the internal id of a particular bundle. Use this command if you have changed the contents of the bundle JAR file and you want to refresh the artifact as installed in the OSGi framework.
uninstall id | Uninstalls the specified bundle from Virgo Kernel. Use the `bundle list` command to get the internal id of a particular bundle. When the uninstall process is complete, the bundle does not show up in the list of bundles displayed by the `bundle list` command. If you want to use the application in the bundle, you must re-install it using the `install` command.

diag id

Provides diagnostic information about the specified bundle. In particular, this command displays information about the imported packages that Virgo Kernel could not resolve. Use the `bundle list` command to get the internal id of a particular bundle.

Note that Virgo does not install unresolvable bundles. Instead is takes a state dump (for offline analysis using the web administration console) and fails the deployment. So bundles are only likely to become unresolvable in Virgo after an update operation.

headers id | Displays the complete list of manifest headers of the specified bundle. Use the `bundle list` command to get the internal id of a particular bundle. The manifest headers include: `Import-Package`, `Export-Package`, `Bundle-SymbolicName`, and so on.

The following examples show how to use this command.

First, use the `bundle list` command to view all the installed bundles:

    osgi> vsh:bundle list

    Id   Name                                       Version                    State

### config Command

Use the `config` command to view and manage the configuration artifacts that have been installed in Virgo Kernel. A configuration artifact is simply a properties file that is associated with a user application that is contained in a bundle. Using configuration artifacts, you can manage the configuration of a user application completely separately from the bundle that contains the application.

The following table lists the options you can specify for this command.

Table 8.3. Options of the config Command

Option | Description
--- | ---

list

Lists the configuration artifacts that are currently installed in Virgo Kernel.

The `list` option displays the full name of each installed configuration artifact, its version, and its current state. Configuration artifacts have similar lifecycles to other artifacts, such as bundles, and so the list of states in which a configuration can be in is the same as those of bundles; see the bundle command for the list of possible states.

examine name [version]

Displays information about the specified configuration artifact. Although you must specify the name of the configuration artifact, its version is optional unless you have multiple versions of the configuration artifact installed. Use the `config list` command to view all configuration artifacts and versions currently installed in Virgo Kernel.

A configuration artifact must be active for you to examine it; if it is not currently active, use `config start` to start it and thus change its state to `Active`.

The command first displays the factory pid of the configuration artifact as well as the complete location of the bundle to which the configuration artifact is associated. The command then lists all the properties that make up the configuration, as well as their current value.

start name [version]

Starts the specified configuration artifact and makes it visible to Virgo Kernel. Although you must specify the name of the configuration artifact, its version is optional unless you have multiple versions of the configuration artifact installed (which Virgo does not currently support). Use the `config list` command to view all configuration artifacts and versions currently installed in Virgo Kernel.

Starting the configuration sets its state to `Active`.

stop name [version]

Stops the specified configuration artifact and makes it invisible to Virgo Kernel. Although you must specify the name of the configuration artifact, its version is optional unless you have multiple versions of the configuration artifact installed (which Virgo does not currently support). Use the `config list` command to view all configuration artifacts and versions currently installed in Virgo Kernel.

Stopping the configuration sets its state to `Resolved`.

refresh name [version]

Updates the contents of the specified configuration artifact to Virgo Kernel. Although you must specify the name of the configuration artifact, its version is optional unless you have multiple versions of the configuration artifact installed (which Virgo does not currently support). Use the `config list` command to view all configuration artifacts and versions currently installed in Virgo Kernel.

Use this command if you have changed the contents of the configuration artifact, and you want to make this information known to Virgo Kernel and the associated bundle.

uninstall name [version]

Uninstalls the specified configuration artifact and make it completely unavailable to Virgo Kernel. Although you must specify the name of the configuration artifact, its version is optional unless you have multiple versions of the configuration artifact installed (which Virgo does not currently support). Use the `config list` command to view all configuration artifacts and versions currently installed in Virgo Kernel.

Stopping the configuration removes it from Virgo Kernel's list of deployed artifacts and it will not show up when you perform a `config list`.

The following example shows how to use this command to list the installed configuration artifacts.

    osgi> vsh:config list

    Name                                      Version                          State
    org.eclipse.virgo.kernel                  0.0.0                           ACTIVE
    org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.jmxremote.access 0.0.0                           ACTIVE
    org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.userregion       0.0.0                           ACTIVE
    org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.users            0.0.0                           ACTIVE
    org.eclipse.virgo.medic                   0.0.0                           ACTIVE
    org.eclipse.virgo.repository              0.0.0                           ACTIVE
    osgi.console.ssh                          0.0.0                           ACTIVE
    osgi.console.telnet                       0.0.0                           ACTIVE

    osgi>

To view the properties of a configuration artifact, and their current values, use `config examine`:

    osgi> vsh:config examine org.eclipse.virgo.repository

    Factory pid:
    Bundle Location: file:plugins/org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.services-1.0.0.jar

    Properties:
        chain:
            ext,usr
        ext.searchPattern:
            repository/ext/{artifact}
        ext.type:
            external
        service.pid:
            org.eclipse.virgo.repository
        usr.type:
            watched
        usr.watchDirectory:
            repository/usr
    osgi>

### packages Command

Use the `packages` command to view the complete list of packages exported by all bundles installed in Virgo Kernel, as well as examine a particular exported package in more detail.

The following table lists the options you can specify for this command.

Table 8.4. Options of the packages Command

Option | Description
--- | ---
list | Displays all the exported packages for all bundles in the uer region of Virgo Kernel. In addition to the package name, the command displays the version of the exported package and the `id` of the bundle that contains the exported package. You can examine the bundle by using the command `bundle examine` `id`.

examine name version

Displays details about the exported package. You must specify both the name of the exported package and its version; use `packages list` to view the exact names and version.

This command provides the following additional information about the exported package:

- The name and version of the bundle that exports the package. This means that the package name is explicitly listed in the bundle's `MANIFEST.MF` file as part of the `Export-Package` header.

- Any attributes that are part of the `Export-Package`, in addition to `version`.

- The directives that are part of the `Export-Package` header. A typical directive is `uses`, which declares up-front constraints on a number of other packages.

- The list of all bundles that import the package.

The following example shows how to list all the exported packages for all bundles installed:

    osgi> vsh:packages list

    Name                                                        Version                    Providing Bundle
    javax.accessibility                                         0.0.0                      0
    javax.activation                                            0.0.0                      0
    javax.activation                                            1.1.1                      0
    <... remainder omitted ...>

    osgi>

The following example shows how to examine a particular exported package:

    osgi> vsh:packages examine org.slf4j 1.6.1

    Exporter: org.eclipse.virgo.region.user 0.0.0 [1]

    Attributes:
        None

    Directives:
        uses:
            org.slf4j.spi
        x-equinox-ee:
            -1
        x-internal:
            false

    Importer(s):
        org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.agent.dm 2.1.0.RELEASE [7]
            Import-Package attributes:
                bundle-version:
                    0.0.0
                version:
                    [1.6.1,2.0.0)
            Import-Package directives:
                resolution:
                    static
        <... remainder omitted ...>

    osgi>

### par Command

Use the `par` command to view all the PARs currently installed in Virgo Kernel, view details about a particular PAR and manage its lifecycle, such as starting, stopping, refreshing, and uninstalling it.

The following table lists the options you can specify for this command.

Table 8.5. Options of the par Command

Option | Description
--- | ---
list | Displays all the PARs that are currently installed in Virgo Kernel. The `list` option displays the full name of each installed PAR, its version, and its current state. PARs have similar lifecycles to other artifacts, such as bundles, and so the list of states in which a PAR can be in is the same as those of bundles; see the bundle command for the list of possible states.

examine name version

Displays information about the specified PAR; you are required to identify the PAR with both its name and its version. Use the `par list` command to view all installed PAR files and their versions. The command displays the following information:

- The current state of the PAR (see the bundle command for the full list of possible states).

- Whether the PAR is scoped. Scoping specifies whether Virgo Kernel should deploy the members of the PAR in their own scope; when scoping is disabled, Virgo Kernel deploys the artifacts into the global scope and they are accessible for access by all other artifacts.

- Whether the PAR is atomic. When a PAR is atomic, Virgo Kernel manages the lifecycle of all its member artifacts as a single entity, which means if one artifact member is started, then Virgo Kernel starts all the PAR artifacts. If one artifact fails to start, then Virgo Kernel stops all other artifacts in the PAR.

- The individual members, or children, of the PAR. These could be plans, bundles, configuration artifacts, and so on.

start name version

Starts the specified PAR. You must specify both the full name of the PAR as well as the version you want to start. Use the `par list` command to get the list of PARs currently installed in Virgo Kernel.

To start a PAR, it must have already been resolved by Virgo Kernel, or in other words, be in the `Resolved` state. After Virgo Kernel successfully starts the PAR, it is listed in the `Active` state.

stop name version | Stops the specified PAR. You must specify both the full name of the PAR as well as the version you want to stop. Use the `par list` command to get the list of PARs currently installed in Virgo Kernel. When you stop a PAR, it goes from the `Active` state to the `Resolved` state, and you must re-start it if you want to use the application that the PAR contains.
refresh name version | Updates the contents of the specified PAR. You must specify both the name and version of the PAR you want to refresh. Use the `par list` command to this information. Use this command if you have changed the contents of the PAR file and you want to refresh the artifact as installed in the OSGi framework.
uninstall name version | Uninstalls the specified PAR. You must specify both the name and version of the PAR you want to refresh. Use the `par list` command to this information. When the uninstall process is complete, the PAR will not show up in the list of PARs displayed by the `par list` command. If you want to use the application in the PAR, you must re-install it using the `install` command.

The following example shows how to list the PARs that have been installed in Virgo Kernel:

    osgi> vsh:par list

    Name                                         Version                      State

    org.eclipse.virgo.server.repository.hosted    2.1.0.RELEASE              ACTIVE

    osgi>

The following example shows how to examine a particular PAR file:

    osgi> vsh:par examine org.eclipse.virgo.server.repository.hosted 2.1.0.RELEASE

    State:  ACTIVE
    Scoped: true
    Atomic: true

    Children:
        bundle org.eclipse.virgo.server.repository.hosted.core 2.1.0.RELEASE
        bundle org.eclipse.virgo.server.repository.hosted.web 2.1.0.RELEASE
        bundle org.eclipse.virgo.server.repository.hosted-synthetic.context 2.1.0.RELEASE

    osgi>

Finally, the following example shows how to refresh an installed PAR file:

    osgi> vsh:par refresh my.exciting.par 1.2.0

    par my.exciting.par 1.2.0 refreshed successfully

    osgi>

### plan Command

Use the `plan` command to view all the plans currently installed in Virgo Kernel, view details about a particular plan and manage its lifecycle, such as starting, stopping, refreshing, and uninstalling it.

The following table lists the options you can specify for this command.

Table 8.6. Options of the plan Command

Option | Description
--- | ---
list | Displays all the plans that are currently installed in Virgo Kernel. The `list` option displays the full name of each installed plan, its version, and its current state. Plans have similar lifecycles to other artifacts, such as bundles, and so the list of states in which a plan can be in is the same as those of bundles; see the bundle command for the list of possible states.

examine name version

Displays information about the specified plan; you are required to identify the plan with both its name and its version. Use the `plan list` command to view all installed plans and their versions. The command displays the following information:

- The current state of the plan (see the bundle command for the full list of possible states).

- Whether the plan is scoped. Scoping specifies whether Virgo Kernel should deploy the members of the plan in their own scope; when scoping is disabled, Virgo Kernel deploys the artifacts into the global scope and they are accessible for access by all other artifacts.

- Whether the plan is atomic. When a plan is atomic, Virgo Kernel manages the lifecycle of all its member artifacts as a single entity, which means if one artifact member is started, then Virgo Kernel starts all the plan artifacts. If one artifact fails to start, then Virgo Kernel stops all other artifacts in the plan.

- The individual members, or children, of the plan. These could be other plans, PARs, bundles, configuration artifacts, and so on.

start name version

Starts the specified plan. You must specify both the full name of the plan as well as the version you want to start. Use the `plan list` command to get the list of plans currently installed in Virgo Kernel.

To start a plan, it must have already been resolved by Virgo Kernel, or in other words, be in the `Resolved` state. After Virgo Kernel successfully starts the plan, it is listed in the `Active` state.

stop name version | Stops the specified plan. You must specify both the full name of the plan as well as the version you want to stop. Use the `plan list` command to get the list of plans currently installed in Virgo Kernel. When you stop a plan, it goes from the `Active` state to the `Resolved` state, and you must re-start it if you want to use the application that the plan contains.
refresh name version | Updates the contents of the specified plan. You must specify both the name and version of the plan you want to refresh. Use the `plan list` command to this information. Use this command if you have changed the contents of the plan file and you want to refresh the artifact as installed in the OSGi framework.

uninstall name version

Uninstalls the specified plan. You must specify both the name and version of the plan you want to refresh. Use the `plan list` command to this information.

When the uninstall process is complete, the plan will not show up in the list of plans displayed by the `plan list` command. If you want to use the application in the plan, you must re-install it using the `install` command.

The following example shows how to list the plans that have been installed in Virgo Kernel:

    osgi> vsh:plan list

    Name                                           Version                            State
    org.eclipse.virgo.apps.admin.plan              2.1.0                             ACTIVE
    org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.userregion.springdm   2.1.0                             ACTIVE
    org.eclipse.virgo.web                          2.1.0                             ACTIVE

    osgi>

The following example shows how to examine a particular plan:

    osgi> vsh:plan examine org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.userregion.springdm 2.1.0

    State:  ACTIVE
    Scoped: false

### service Command

Use the `service` command to view all the services that have been registered in the OSGi service registry of Virgo Kernel. You can also examine a specific service to discover its properties, the bundle that publishes the service, and any bundles that consume the service.

The following table lists the options you can specify for this command.

Table 8.7. Options of the service Command

Option | Description
--- | ---

list

Displays the list of services that are currently registered in the OSGi service registry of Virgo Kernel.

Each service is identified by an internal `ID` which you can then use with the `service examine` command to view the details about a particular service. The `list` option also displays the object class that implements the service and the internal `id` of the bundle that provides the service.

examine id | Displays detailed information about the specified service. Use the `service list` command to get the internal id of a particular service. This command displays the properties of the service, such as the object class that implements the service, the name of the bundle that publishes the service and any bundles that consume the service.

The following example shows how to list the services currently registered in the OSGi service registry:

    osgi> vsh:service list

### install Command

Use the `install` command to deploy an artifact to Virgo Kernel. The artifact can be a bundle, PAR, plan, or configuration artifact.

The `install` command takes a single parameter: the URI of the artifact you want to deploy. For example, to deploy a bundle on the local computer, use the `file` scheme:

    file://full-pathname-to-artifact

After you execute the `install` command, Virgo Kernel attempts to resolve the artifact's dependencies, and if it is successful, puts it in the `Resolved` state. At that point, you must start the artifact to be able to actually use it.

The following example shows how to install a bundle called `swf-booking-mvc.war` located in the `/home/apps` directory of the computer on which the Equinox Console Extension is being run:

    osgi> vsh:install file://home/apps/swf-booking-mvc.war
    ...
    Artifact bundle swf-booking-mvc.war 0.0.0 installed

This command is particularly useful for installing an artifact from the Virgo repository, in which case use the `repository:` scheme:

    repository:artifact-type/bundle-symbolic-name/bundle-version

For example:

    osgi> vsh:install repository:bundle/my.bundle/1.0
    ...
    Artifact bundle my.bundle 1.0.0 installed
    osgi>

The following example shows how to use the `bundle list` command to ensure that the bundle was indeed installed in Virgo Kernel; if you had installed a different kind of artifact, for example a plan, then you would use the appropriate command (such as `plan list`):

    osgi> vsh:bundle list

    Id   Name                             Version                   State

    0    org.eclipse.osgi                 3.6.1.R36x_v20100806     ACTIVE
    1    org.eclipse.virgo.region.user    0.0.0                    ACTIVE
    <... remainder omitted ...>

    59   org.eclipse.virgo.server.splash   2.1.0.RELEASE           ACTIVE
    60   swf-booking-mvc.war              0.0.0                  RESOLVED

    osgi>

Note that the `swf-booking-mvc.war` file is in the `Resolved` state. The following examples start the bundle, and then examine it to ensure that it is in the `Active` state:

    osgi> vsh:bundle start 60

    bundle swf-booking-mvc.war:0.0.0 started successfully

    osgi> vsh:bundle examine 60

    Id:              60
    Name:            swf-booking-mvc.war
    Version          0.0.0
    State:           ACTIVE
    Spring Powered:  true
    Bundle Location: file:<... omitted ...>/swf-booking-mvc.war/

### shutdown Command

Use the `shutdown` command to shut down the Virgo Kernel instance to which you are connected. When Virgo Kernel is shut down, the shell returns you to the operating system prompt.

The `shutdown` command does not have any options.

The following example shows how to use this command.

    osgi> vsh:shutdown
    osgi> ...
    Connection closed by foreign host.
    prompt$

### clhas command

Use the `clhas` command to list the entries contained in the bundles deployed in Virgo and to solve class loading issues.

The command accepts as a parameter a search pattern in the form path/resource. The resource part of the pattern can contain wildcards.

The output contains all bundles that have resources or classes matching the pattern. Since wildcards are allowed, the matching entities are listed as well.

The following examples show how to use this command.

Use the `clhas` to view all bundles that contain `Servlet` class:

    osgi>clhas /javax/servlet/Servlet.class

    Bundles containing [/javax/servlet/Servlet.class]:
      76    javax.servlet
                /javax/servlet/Servlet.class

Use the wildcard `*` with `clhas` to view all classes starting with `Servlet`:

    osgi> clhas /javax/servlet/Servlet*

    Bundles containing [/javax/servlet/Servlet*]:
      76    javax.servlet
                /javax/servlet/ServletRequestAttributeEvent.class
                /javax/servlet/ServletRequest.class
                <... remainder omitted ...>
                /javax/servlet/Servlet.class
                <... remainder omitted ...>

The `clhas` command can also be used with class name instead of resource path:

    osgi> clhas javax.servlet.Servlet

    Bundles containing [javax/servlet/Servlet.class]:
      76    javax.servlet
                /javax/servlet/Servlet.class

Please note that the command converts the class name to a path and appends `class` extension by default.

To search for a resource with an extension different than `class` you should use the resource path form:

    osgi> clhas /LocalStrings.properties

    Bundles containing [/LocalStrings.properties]:
      96    com.springsource.org.apache.catalina
                /org/apache/catalina/core/LocalStrings.properties
                /org/apache/tomcat/util/http/mapper/LocalStrings.properties
                /org/apache/catalina/loader/LocalStrings.properties
                <... remainder omitted ...>

The following example shows how to identify a possible `ClassCastException` due to wrong packaging:

    osgi>clhas /javax/servlet/Servlet.class

    Bundles containing [/javax/servlet/Servlet.class]:
      76    javax.servlet
                /javax/servlet/Servlet.class
      107   myapp
                /WEB-INF/classes/javax/servlet/Servlet.class

It's obvious that the `javax.servlet` package should not be present in `myapp` application and its packaging has to be changed. This problem can often be seen in WAR or web bundles that package Servlet/JSP classes by accident.

### clexport command

Use the `clexport` command to list the bundles that export a class or package.

The command accepts as a parameter the fully qualified class name (in the form package.class).

The command checks to see if the provided class is actually contained in a bundle. If the class is not found in a bundle but its package is exported, then a hint `[class not found, package only]` is displayed.

The following examples show how to use this command.

Use the `clexport` to view all bundles that contain `Servlet` class:

    osgi> clexport javax.servlet.Servlet

    Bundles exporting [javax.servlet.Servlet]:
      14    com.springsource.javax.servlet

If a bundle exports a package but does not contain the requested class, the output of the command will be similar to this:

    osgi> clexport javax.servlet.ServletX

    Bundles exporting [javax.servlet.ServletX]:
      14    com.springsource.javax.servlet     [class not found, package only]

### clload command

Use the `clload` command to list the bundles that can load a class or to check if a specific bundle can load a class.

The command accepts as parameters either:

- the fully qualified class name (in the form package.class)

- the fully qualified class name (in the form package.class) and the symbolic name or id of the bundle that is to be tested

The command lists not only the bundle that successfully loaded the class, but also the one that actually provides the class. This is visualized with hints like `[exported by 14 com.springsource.javax.servlet]`.

The following examples show how to use this command.

You can use the `clload` to view all bundles that can load `Servlet` class:

    osgi> clload javax.servlet.Servlet

    Successfully loaded [javax.servlet.Servlet] from:
      56    com.springsource.org.apache.taglibs.standard
                    [exported by 14 com.springsource.javax.servlet]
      54    org.eclipse.virgo.apps.admin.web
                    [exported by 14 com.springsource.javax.servlet]
      19    com.springsource.org.apache.commons.fileupload
                    [exported by 14 com.springsource.javax.servlet]
      <... remainder omitted ...>

If a bundle is to be tested, then its id can be used as a command parameter:

    osgi> clload javax.servlet.Servlet 19

    Successfully loaded [javax.servlet.Servlet] using class loader from:
      19    com.springsource.org.apache.commons.fileupload
                    [exported by 14 com.springsource.javax.servlet]

Or the same class load test can specify the symbolic name of the bundle:

    osgi> clload javax.servlet.Servlet com.springsource.org.apache.commons.fileupload

    Successfully loaded [javax.servlet.Servlet] using class loader from:
      19    com.springsource.org.apache.commons.fileupload
                    [exported by 14 com.springsource.javax.servlet]
