[jira] [Resolved] (ARIES-997) Support for the Aries Application header Application-ImportService

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-997?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

John Ross resolved ARIES-997.
-----------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Patch contents committed with http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1430023.

I changed the resource type constant to org.apache.aries.subsystem.resource.synthesizedand moved it to a Constants class. The dependency calculator uses thesame constant.I also removed the "filter"constant and reused an already existing one.

> The old Aries Application support (implemented using equinox composite bundles) has support for a header Application-ImportService.  This header has a different intention than the subsystems specified Subsystem-ImportService header.
> The Subsystem-ImportService header is intended to be used by composite subsystem types only and is used to specify the import sharing policy for services.  For subsystems the imported services are expected to be provided by some provider (bundle) which is visible in the parent subsystem of the composite which is importing the service.
> The Application-ImportService header on the other hand is used to specify services which are expected to be provided by some remote service technology, for example SCA.  For Aries applications no resources are provisioned to satisfy the service requirements specified by the Application-ImportService header.  Instead, at provisioning time the Aries application support mocks up a resource that provides service capabilities that can be used to resolve service requirements from the resources (bundles) included in an EBA that is being provisioned.
> This issue proposes that the Aries Subsystem implementation should add support for the Application-ImportService header that is similar in behavior to the Aries Application support.
