[jira] [Resolved] (FELIX-6335) String+ service property value of certain collection types causes incorrect dependency handling

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-6335?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Tom Watson resolved FELIX-6335.
-------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Bug

Resolving as Not A Bug.  This is a bug in the testcase because it modifies objects used as values in the service properties for the test outside of calls to setProperties.

>             Project: Felix
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Framework
>    Affects Versions: scr-2.1.24

> I think it is an SCR problem, because the problem occurs with Equinox or Felix as framework.
> Someone changes a ServiceRegistration for a service *A,* that  will be updated using setProperties, as soon something changes.
> One of the property values for the registration is String+ that should accept a collection.
> Another component *K* should be activated or deactivated, depending on a reference binding to *A* with a certain target filter for *A*'s properties
> I experienced that *K* is always activated correctly. But it will not de-activate, if the target filter for *A* does not match anymore, when the registration properties are changed using certain collection types like e.g. _Collections#unmodifiableList_ as property value.
> Changing the value to an ordinary list, everything behaves correct.
> I attached a bnd based test, that illustrates the problem. There are 3 tests that are working as expected and 3 tests failing. I deactivated two of these failing tests, because feiling just one test casuses an invalid state in the framework.
> I am not sure, if the rejection of certain collection types eventually by intention. But it has a large impact to the behavior of the framework.
> At least ther should be an warning or exception, that tells the user, that he uses  invalid types.
