> Bundling an application as a _.kar_ artifact containing the application-specific configuration yields the following problem if deploying it at the customer site:
> * deploying a _.kar_ will install all contained features including the configuration - this is not an "install" this will install + start all bundles part of the features
> Due to that the application will run with possibly wrong configuration if started for the first time - well one could of course create/deploy all configuration by hand (seems tedious though and IMHO goes against the concept of having a single artifact containing everything neccessary to run the application).
> The other problem is configuration management when updating the application - currently one can only replace configuration if defining a _configFile_ node in the _features.xml_ (it is not possible to add(/remove) single entries). Working with a _config_ node gives more control, however the configuration is not backed by a file thus not a usable approach to manage configuration for a customer running the OSGI application.
> ...in essence I was wondering about the intended configration management for real world applications. IMHO it should be possible to configure a .kar bundled OSGI application prior to launching it.
