             Summary: Deterministic handling order of application context bundles
                 Key: ARIES-913
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-913
             Project: Aries
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Application
            Reporter: Tuomas Kiviaho


Currently ApplicationManagerImpl uses hash sets/maps to preserve and provide bundles which effectively loses the order in which they were originally described in APPLICATION.MF. 

The order is also important in following scenario where several bundles override stdout one after the other.

app context start
  start gogo # Preserves orginal state of system out 
  start sysout-over-slf4j # Preserves gogo's system out

app context stop
  stop gogo # Reverts system out back to original state
  stop sysout-over-slf4j # Reverts system out back to gogo's system out

Here the stdout is left pointing into already stopped bundle causing all kind of problems. The situation can be improved by applying uninstall and stop in reverse order compared to install and start which guarantees that at least behaviour of an individual application context is consistent.
