[jira] Commented: (FELIX-884) OBR should expose registered services
as capabilities of local repository
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-884?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12664974#action_12664974 ]
Richard S. Hall commented on FELIX-884:
---------------------------------------
Interesting. Makes sense. Is this patch too simplistic? Do we need something that it slightly more dynamic (i.e., tracking when services appear or disappear)?

> The OBR implementation exposes the current state of the framework as a Repository, the LocalRepository. This provides the installed bundles as parts provided by a repository with their capabilities. These capabilities do not currently only reflect the currently installed set of bundles and their static setup such as package import/export and service import/export. The actually registered services, though are not exposed as capabilities whatsoever.
> So if for example, the OPS4J Pax Web Service bundle registers an HttpService instance. But this fact is not reflected by a ExportService header. Trying to install a bundle from the OBR which requires an HttpService fails, since the actually registered HttpService is not provided as a capability.
> I suggest, the LocalRepository exposes all registered services (just their names would probably do it) as capabilities of the system bundle. This is not entirely correct but should probably be enough to satisfy the requirements of bundles.
> WDYT ?
