RTC API - scmService, Operation adviser fails to instantiate.
The problem was indeed in the xml tag, it should be, as Sam mentioned
<requiredService interface="com.ibm.team.scm.common.IScmService"/>
notice the .common in contrast to .service
extending AbstractService then calling IScmService scmService = getService(IScmService.class);
or extending AbstractScmService then calling IScmService scmService = getScmService();
both approaches work given that the tag is included although the former seems to be the safer way to go (according to eclipse's warnings)
Problem:
I'm trying to create an OperationAdviser that uses this service
IScmService scmService = getService(IScmService.class);
What's the corresponding required service's interface's name that needs to go in the plugin.xml file? Where can I find a list of those services ?
at the moment I'm using
<requiredService interface="com.ibm.team.scm.service.IScmService"/>
But that's causing the Operation Adviser to fail to instantiate with this error message
Problem
Unable to instantiate advisor operationAdvisor.
CRJAZ6010E The operation advisor cannot be created because an exception occurred. For more information, see the exception.
This is the exception, it's extracted from the server log:
com.ibm.team.repository.common.transport.TeamServiceRegistryException: CRJAZ1094I The service "sesp.AbstractService" failed to be activated because a service it depends on, "com.ibm.team.scm.service.IScmService", has not been acquired and forcing service activation was not requested.
If I dont include that xml tag I get this:

Problem
An unhandled exception occurred during "send_email_server_plugin". The service 'send_email_server_plugin.AbstractService@7d2b7d2b' failed to find the required service 'interface com.ibm.team.scm.common.IScmService'. Check <prerequisites> in plugin.xml. |
I also tried extending AbstractScmService instead of AbstractService and I get this exception instead (this is with the tag included)

I've had a similar problem before but the exception wasn't thrown until the getService() function was executed. In other words the class had been instantiated successfully
EDIT: I also have com.ibm.team.scm.service as a plug-in dependency. Although I'm not sure if that's needed

Hi Sam, that looks a lot like what I have here
<prerequisites> <requiredService interface="com.ibm.team.repository.service.IRepositoryItemService"/> <!-- <requiredService interface="com.ibm.team.scm.service.IScmService"/> -->I thought this looked interesting though:
https://jazz.net/forum/questions/102417/abstractscmadvisor-how-do-you-read-changed-file-content
particularly the comment right about the binding.
It may be a service that requires manual activation. The server I'm using has only been installed recently.
Moreover if we look at the provision status
https://<myremotehosthere>:<port>/ccm/admin?internal=true#action=com.ibm.team.repository.admin.provisionStatus
and try to ctrl-f
Starting the bundle "com.ibm.team.scm.service
I don't find anything. on the other hand
doing ctrl-f
Starting the bundle "com.ibm.team.repository.service
returns a match. I figure this may be the problem, except now I don't know how to force the server to start the service
I looked at this some more.. I think if you extend AbstractScmService, then the
api method getScmService(); will do the job and u don't need the prereq
on a blank line hit ctrl-spacebar to see all the methods available
Same error. I think it's probably because scm.service isn't running in the first place (unlike repository.service which seems to be very similar in concept and is working) how would I go about enabling it?
If there is a service start error, you should be able to see this on the diagnostics page. There should be a red cross.
https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/11/01/restrict-delivery-of-changesets-to-workitem-types-advisordelivery-of-changesets-associated-to-wrong-work-item-types-advisor/ is an example for such an operation. Note, you extend the AbstractSCMService not AbstracService. You might also want to try Jetty first, if you don't to make sure everything works i a test environment.
The log files should also show errors if the services can be loaded.
Please be a ware that not all that looks like a service needs to be in the prerequisites. I have seen some that would cause trouble if you put them there. Best is to have a small list and only add that if the error message comes up that it is needed.

One other answer
the one that seems most useful to me most times is the required content participant.
it is located in the com.ibm.team.filesystem.service plugin
eclipse plugins view, find by name, right click, import as source
package com.ibm.team.filesystem.service.internal.process
class RequiredContentAdvisor
there are a couple other plugins in this folder too..
