How to handle same bundles from different locations?

[Nicolas Roduit <ni...@mycable.ch>]

Hi all,

I've made an application with the latest release of Apache Felix 
framework and set the property "org.osgi.framework.storage.clean" to 
"none". Bundles are not loaded correctly when a bundle come from an 
different location of the one during the previous launch. Having 
different URLs for the same bundle seems to be an issue if the cache is 
not cleared.
I see in log: Bundle symbolic name and version are not unique

It is a client application deploy through Java Web Start form several 
providers. So cleaning the cache at every launch is not a solution.
Is there any recommendations for having multiple repositories with 
identical bundles?

Thanks,

Nicolas

Not sure I totally understand your desire. You cannot install the same 
bundle more than once, even if the location URL changes (technically, 
there is a way to do this in the R4.3 spec, it is not really 
encouraged). If the bundle is already installed, then there isn't much 
reason to install it again, is there?

As I said, I'm not clear what you want to do. The issue isn't whether or 
not your repositories have identical bundles, it is whether or not you 
want to blindly install bundles even if they are duplicates.

The simple thing to do is to do is check the bundle exception from an 
install to determine if it is due to a duplicate, if so, then you are 
fine since the bundle is already installed.
