At the end of the previous step, a dependency was created on an OSGi Service Registry exposed instance of
<code class="classname">greenpages.Directory</code>. The application would not start because no other bundle was
contributing an instance of this service to the Service Registry.
</p><p>Stop the server instance before proceeding.</p><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="osgi.service.implementation"></a>Add Implementation</h3></div></div></div><p>
In this step Spring&#8217;s context scanning is added which will create an instance of the
<code class="classname">DirectoryImpl</code> class.
</p><p>
Open the <code class="classname">greenpages.internal.DirectoryImpl</code> class in the <code class="literal">greenpages.app</code>
project. Add the <code class="interfacename">@Component</code> annotation to the class:
</p><pre class="programlisting">@Component(<span class="hl-string">"directory"</span>)
<span class="hl-keyword">public</span> <span class="hl-keyword">class</span> DirectoryImpl <span class="hl-keyword">implements</span> Directory {
&#8230;
</pre><p>
generating imports with Eclipse&#8217;s help if necessary.
</p><p>
Open the <code class="filename">META-INF/spring/module-context.xml</code> in the <code class="literal">greenpages.app</code>
project. Add component scanning to this file:
</p><pre class="programlisting">&lt;<span class="hl-tag">context:component-scan</span> <span class="hl-attribute">base-package</span>=<span class="hl-value">"greenpages.internal"</span>/&gt;
</pre><p>
</p><p>
When complete, go to the next step.
</p></div><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="osgi.service.publish"></a>Publish OSGi Service</h3></div></div></div><p>
In this step the <code class="classname">DirectoryImpl</code> instance is published to the OSGi Service
Registry.
</p><p>
Open the <code class="filename">META-INF/spring/osgi-context.xml</code> file. Add the
<code class="literal">&lt;osgi:service/&gt;</code> tag to publish the <code class="literal">directory</code> bean with an
interface of <code class="interfacename">greenpages.Directory</code>.
</p><pre class="programlisting">&lt;<span class="hl-tag">osgi:service</span> <span class="hl-attribute">ref</span>=<span class="hl-value">"directory"</span> <span class="hl-attribute">interface</span>=<span class="hl-value">"greenpages.Directory"</span>/&gt;
</pre><p>
</p></div><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="osgi.server.working"></a>A Working Web Application</h3></div></div></div><p>
Start (or restart) the Web Server instance from the <code class="literal">Servers</code> view. If the GreenPages PAR was not
removed before, it will be automatically deployed, otherwise deploy it as before. There should be no errors reported.
When GreenPages is deployed successfully, open a web browser and navigate to
<a class="ulink" href="http://localhost:8080/greenpages" target="_top">http://localhost:8080/greenpages</a>. On
the home page type <code class="literal">wilkinson</code> into the search field and press <span class="emphasis"><em>Submit</em></span>.
Unlike the previous attempt, this should return a list (of size 1) of search results. From here, select
<span class="emphasis"><em>view</em></span> to get the &#8220;<span class="quote">detailed</span>&#8221; listing.
</p><div class="mediaobject" align="center"><img src="images/web-module/greenpages-listing-success.png" align="middle"></div><p>
This uses a stub implementation of the <code class="classname">Directory</code> interface which only knows about &#8220;<span class="quote">Andy Wilkinson</span>&#8221;.
</p><p>
The web interface is complete enough. Go to the next chapter to see the middle tier implementation.
