---------------------------------------

             Summary: Configuration console silently ignores invalid properties
                 Key: FELIX-6303
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-6303
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Web Console
    Affects Versions: webconsole-4.5.2
            Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
             Fix For: webconsole-4.5.4


When an OSGi configuration has a metatype information for a property which is not a string, the value provided throught the console is converted to that type, before setting the configuration property [1]
If the conversion fails, the value is ignored [2]

For example, if the metatype specifies the type to be Integer (like for a port number etc) and a placeholder is used as the value using the interpolation plugin (like $[env:HTTP_PORT]) then this string value is never set. It would be better to allow such values and not silently ignore them
