java.lang.RuntimeException: Error initializing storage. at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.framework.EquinoxContainer.

[rm5837]

We are using 3.10 OSGI framework .Customers are facing this issue in cluster nodes environment when trying to start the application and due to this issue the application is not starting.

When we use 3.5 OSGI framework in cluster nodes environment and customers are not facing the issue .

Whether this issue is addressed in any latest OSGI versions?

It will be very helpful if you can provide the workaround to resolve the issue .

Whether this issue is addressed in any latest OSGI versions?

Can't you check it by yourself?
Please try to build a standalone minimal story to reproduce this issue with latest release of Equinox and share it here.

Hi ,

It is not the standalone application and It is web application using OSGI framework.
Our application is not a small application and it is difficult to replace the latest OSGI framework.
If you have any info related to the fix then please share with us . So that we will plan accordingly to upgrade to that version .
We are getting this issue in Cluster environment and not with the single node.

Regards,
Ravindra

If you have steps to reproduce we may have some luck in figuring out if it is fixed. 3.10 version of org.eclipse.osgi is very old at this point (2014). That is the first release of the Equinox framework after a major refactoring. Numerous fixes related to the framework module container and its persistent state have gone into the releases over the years. Regardless of this bug you will need to upgrade in order to be able to support LTS Java versions going forward. You have to move up to 3.12.0 org.eclipse.osgi to be able to run on Java 11 for example.
