>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5683
>             Project: Felix
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Dependency Manager
>    Affects Versions: org.apache.felix.dependencymanager-r9
>            Reporter: Pierre De Rop
>            Assignee: Pierre De Rop
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: org.apache.felix.dependencymanager-r13

>
> There are two issues:
> 1)
> In the felix users mailing list (see [1]), Bram reported the following:
> when you set a component service properties like this:
> {code}
> Component component = 
> m_dependencyManager.createComponent().setInterface(ApplicationService.class.getName(),new Properties());
> component.getServiceProperties().put("a", "b");
> {code}
> then you get a NPE because the component.getServiceProperties() method returns null instead of the empty dictionary that has been set in the setInterfaceMethod.
> This is a regression made in r9 release, in the FELIX-5522 where a refactoring was done regarding aspect service properties.
> A fix can be made in order to behave like before (that is : avoid the NPE). 
> 2)
> Bram, I may be wrong but I think that one new issue is that the dictionary returned by the getServiceProperties() method was so far (since the initial version of felix dm 2.0.1) a copy of the service properties dictionary maintained in the ComponentImpl, so if you would like to do set service properties like this:
> {code}
> Component component = m_dependencyManager.createComponent().setInterface(ApplicationService.class.getName(),new Properties());
> component.getServiceProperties().put("a", "b");
> m_dependencyManager.add(component);  // won't add "a=b" properties
> {code}
> then the "a" property will be set in the copy of the internal dictionary returned by the getServiceProperties() method, and the "a=b" service properties won't be set when the component is added in the m_dependencyManager.
> So, if what I'm saying is correct and if you would like to see this new behavior implemented, please open a new jira issue and I will manage to implement it; thanks
> PS: I'm now fixing the 1) regression, in order to avoid the NPE.
