[jira] Created: (FELIX-2174) Detect changes to repository.xml and update cache

Detect changes to repository.xml and update cache
-------------------------------------------------

                 Key: FELIX-2174
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2174
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Bundle Repository (OBR)
            Reporter: Nick Wilson
            Priority: Minor


Currently the repository.xml is read once then cached for the lifetime of the OBR bundle. If the bundles available on the OBR server change the repository.xml is never re-read, so the client doesn't see the changes.

It would be nice if the OBR bundle could check the server to see if there have been any changes, either by polling or by a specific request from the client code to RepositoryAdmin.

Perhaps the repository.xml could include a "lastChanged" timestamp or, as the repository.xml file may become large, perhaps there should be two requests; one to check if anything has changed, the second to re-read the repository.xml.
