configuration property types and enums
I'm getting the following exception from an activate method.
org.osgi.service.component.ComponentException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum constant (Enumeration type name).
The activate method takes a Configuration Property Type that has a method that returns a value of the type but does NOT have a default defined. The activate method checks to see the method returns null. This is what I want but it seems like it's demanding that the Enum be non-null. Am I reading this correctly? Must CFPs that return enums always return a valid value for the type?

OK, I guess I figured out what my issue is/was. I thought the default values were returned if a specified property doesn’t exist in the .cfg file OR if the property does exist but doesn’t have a value. Experimentation shows me that the latter isn’t true.
I assume this is proper behavior.

OK, I decided that for the time being at least, I could provide defaults for the problematic annotation methods. I still receive the IllegalArgumentException I mentioned previously even though I made the following change.
@ObjectClassDefinition(name = "BAM Query Metric Provider Configuration")
@interface QueryProviderConfig
{
String system();
String path();
int frequency() default 60;
Status status() default Status.Requested;
boolean postable() default false;
RuleType ruleType() default RuleType.Custom;
String ruleDef() default "";
ProviderType providerType();
String dataSource();
String queryFile();
String[] queryMods() default {};
String nameColumn() default "";
String valueColumn();
ValueColumnType valueColumnType() default ValueColumnType.INT;
}
There’s a bit of context that I left out last time though as I didn’t feel it was important but perhaps it is. There another config type that contains a subset of the above which is used to set values in a base class. To convert to that type I use and anonymous interface as shown below.
@ObjectClassDefinition(name = "BAM Metric Provider Configuration")
public @interface MetricProviderConfig
{
String path() default "";
int frequency() default 60;
Status status() default Status.Requested;
boolean postable() default false;
RuleType ruleType() default RuleType.Custom;
String ruleDef() default "";
}
protected MetricProviderConfig toMPC(final QueryProviderConfig cfg)
throws Exception
{
return new MetricProviderConfig()
{
public Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType()
{
return MetricProviderConfig.class;
}
public String path()
{
return cfg.path();
}
public int frequency()
{
return cfg.frequency();
}
public Status status()
{
return cfg.status();
}
public boolean postable()
{
return cfg.postable();
}
public RuleType ruleType()
{
270: return cfg.ruleType(); // Exception thrown here
}
public String ruleDef()
{
return cfg.ruleDef();
}
};
}
The moderately interesting part of the traceback is as follows:
org.osgi.service.component.ComponentException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum constant com.medline.bam.model.rule.IRule.RuleType.
at org.apache.felix.scr.impl.inject.Annotations$Handler.invoke(Annotations.java:243)
at com.medline.bam.model.metric.provider.$Proxy28.ruleType(Unknown Source)
at com.medline.bam.model.metric.provider.QueryProvider$1.ruleType(QueryProvider.java:270)
at com.medline.bam.model.metric.AbstractMetricProvider.update(AbstractMetricProvider.java:285)
at com.medline.bam.model.metric.provider.AbstractQueryProvider.update(AbstractQueryProvider.java:241)
at com.medline.bam.model.metric.provider.QueryProvider.activate(QueryProvider.java:288)
Here’s the activate method in QueryProvider. An instance of MetricProviderConfig is passed into the object (not a component) that provides most of the concrete implementation of the QueryProvider component. The config is passed up to AbstractMetricProvider.update where cfg.ruleType() is invoked, which causes the method in the anonymous interface to be invoked which causes the exception.
@Activate
protected void activate(QueryProviderConfig cfg)
throws Exception
{
ISystem system = Utils.getSystem(systems, cfg.system());
if (system != null) {
setImpl(system, cfg);
288: getImpl().update(toMPC(cfg));
}
this.config = cfg;
}
The update method from AbstractMetricProvider:
protected void update(MetricProviderConfig cfg)
throws Exception
{
this.status = cfg.status();
this.postable = cfg.postable();
String[] ruleDef = (isBlank(cfg.ruleDef()) ? null : cfg.ruleDef().split(","));
285: switch (cfg.ruleType())
{
Since cfg.ruleType() has a default, I would expect this to work but clearly it’s not. It works fine as long as long as ruleType has an explicit value in the .cfg file. The use of a default (in this context) seems to be the issue. Is the use of the anonymous interface causing me problems perhaps? I wasn’t sure how to make the conversion between types so I found that suggestion online.
I apologize for dumping all this out here but I’m kind of at a loss at this point and I figured it was probably best to give as much context as might be needed.

Scott

Subject: Re: configuration property types and enums
OK, that’s pretty straightforward.
Annotations (@interface) can not return null values from their members. This is a java language thing, not a DS thing. You need to assure either that your configuration has an appropriate value or specify a default in the annotation. You only get notified of the problem when you try to access the member.
Alternatively, you can use a felix extension allowing you to configure with an interface, in which case null returns are allowed. You could define your defaults directly in the @Component annotation property member. To do this investigate the DSExt annotations in the org.apache.felix.scr.ext.anno bundle. You’d use @DSExt.ConfigureWithInterfaces.
Hope this helps
