[jira] [Closed] (FELIX-3361) Bundle#start does not comply with the spec

Guillaume Nodet closed FELIX-3361.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

I do understand what you say, but that's the first case I mentioned.  
In my second case, the StartLevel#getStartLevel() > Bundle#getStartLevel() but the start level thread is still running.  So I think this situation is not really in the use case mentioned in the spec (which is StartLevel#getStartLevel() < Bundle#getStartLevel()).

Anyway, given fixing this won't really prevent my problem since the behavior is different depending on the exact timing between StartLevel#setStartLevel() and Bundle#start(), i'll just close the issue.

For reference, the problem has been captured by http://team.ops4j.org/browse/PAXEXAM-356 and we have a working work around.

> The spec says:  "When the start method returns without an exception, the state of the bundle will either be ACTIVE or STARTING, depending on the declared activation policy and whether it was used. If the start method throws an exception, then the bundle will not be in either of these states and the stop method will not be called for this Bundle Activator instance."
> However there is a case where this does not happen, which is when the start level thread is already running
> I think the Bundle#start should either activate the bundle or wait for the bundle to be activated before returning in order to comply with the spec.
