> Working on upgrades of an OSGi-based system, which include moving services from one bundle to another for refactoring purposes, I had several cases where the console didn't display configuration values correctly, because the configuration was bound to a different bundle (B) than the one (A) where the corresponding service comes from. 
> Usually because the service that uses the config used to be in bundle A, but was moved to bundle B.
> The symptoms are either no fields or values shown on the configuration page at all, or all name/value pairs displayed in a single textarea instead of individual fields.
> IIUC that's because the webconsole cannot access the metadata about the configuration fields anymore in this case. 
> If that's correct, it would be good to have a warning on the configuration page when that happens, to help troubleshooting such cases.
