CQ5/AEM – Use DataSourcePool within OSGi bundle

Problem

Can’t get access to DataSourcePool in OSGi bundle in Adobe AEM/CQ5.

Solution

In bundle activator you need to get and store the DataSourcePool and get it in your bundle classes via static method.

Activator.java code

import com.day.commons.datasource.poolservice.DataSourcePool;

public class Activator implements BundleActivator {
  private static DataSourcePool source;
  
  public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
    ServiceReference dspRef = context.getServiceReference(DataSourcePool.class.getName());
    source = (DataSourcePool)context.getService(dspRef);
  }
  
  public void stop(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
  }
  
  public static DataSourcePool getDataSourcePool(){
  	return source;
  }
}

And you can get the DataSourcePool in your class by simply calling the Activator.getDataSourcePool() method.
