             Summary: Set multi-location for created configurations
                 Key: FELIX-5684
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5684
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: File Install
    Affects Versions: fileinstall-3.5.4
            Reporter: Grzegorz Grzybek
             Fix For: fileinstall-3.5.6


By default, when fileinstall creates CM configurations, they have no locations set. According to spec:
{quote}
104.4.2 Dynamic Binding:
A null location parameter can be used to create Configuration objects that are not yet bound.
In this case, the Configuration becomes bound to a specific location the first time that it is
compared to a Bundle’s location.

It is recommended that management agents explicitly set the location to a ? (a multi-location)
to allow multiple bundles to share PIDs and not use the dynamic binding facility.
{quote}

I'd prefer "principle of least surprise", so CM configs created from {{etc/*.cfg}} files have multi-location is set by default (alternatively - we could have configuration option), so if for example there are two blueprint bundles using {{<cm:property-placeholder>}} for same PID, they can use the configuration without problems
