[jira] [Commented] (FELIX-2895) Allow the use of a property to tell SCR to always discover Service Component files even if there's no wildcard in the name

Felix Meschberger commented on FELIX-2895:
------------------------------------------

Thinking about it I come to the conclusion, that using getResource is really wrong. So I think we should go the full length and completely remove the use of getResource....

> The current version of SCR will use the API method getResource() to get the service component descriptor if the Service-Component header does not contain a wildcard. This precludes the discovery of DS components in attached fragment bundles. From the DS spec:
> Section 112.4:
> Component descriptions are defined in XML documents contained in a bundle
> and any attached fragments.
> Section 112.4.1:
> The last component of each path in the Service-Component header may use
> wildcards so that Bundle.findEntries can be used to locate the XML document
> within the bundle and its fragments....
> A Service-Component manifest header specified in a fragment is ignored by
> SCR. However, XML documents referenced by a bundle's Service-Component
> Note the use of the word "may" in the first sentence. It does not say that findEntries() should/must *only* be used if there's a wildcard.
> As such, I believe this is within the spec, albeit not backwards compatible which is why I'm proposing to use a framework property.
