How OSGi class loader behaves when I have 3 different jars to load and interdependency among them

I am self curios to know this answer. I have a problem like I have 3 jars A , B and C. Now jar A needed to import a version 1.1 of jar C and Jar B need to import a version 1.5 of jar C.

So, as per my understanding , is it like all these jar files will be loaded by seperate class loaders. So after getting loaded how OSGi going to handle different version scenario with specific jars.

This scenario will require that there are four bundles deployed, A, B and C-1.1 and C-1.5.

  • A is resolved (with its own classloader) it will load any dependent classes from bundle C-1.1.

  • B is resolved (with its own classloader) it will load any dependent classes from bundle C-1.5.

This allows both versions of C to be able to be used in the same application, since they do not get loaded by the same classloader, so no conflict will exist with classes of the same name.
