[jira] Commented: (FELIX-937) FileInstall can't handle autostart bundles that are part of watched directory

["Peter Kriens (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-937?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12675302#action_12675302 ] 

Peter Kriens commented on FELIX-937:
------------------------------------

I think the problem is that there should be no overlap so the error is what you want.

The purpose of FileInstall is to act as a manager. That is, you reuse the operating systems file management tools (which are usually terrific: drag and drop, shell, wildcard) to manage your bundle. The power is that it is very simple to understand. I think you will make file install a lot more murky when you start making it handle other management agents.

> Let's say you configure File Install to watch directory /tmp/modules and there is a bundle called /modules/foo.jar which is specified as an autostart bundle. In Felix's config.properties, autostart bundles are specified using URLs (file:///modules/foo.jar in this case) which is internally used as the location of the bundle as well. On the other hand, File Install uses "absolute path" (/modules/foo.jar in this case) as the location. As a result, when File Install tries to install the same bundle, it gets the following error:
> INFO: failed to install/start bundle: : org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Could not create bundle object.
> This is caused by org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Bundle symbolic name and version are not unique.
