[jira] [Commented] (FELIX-3962) Resolver does not handle it well if the ResolveContext hands back hosts capabilities that are already resolved

Richard S. Hall commented on FELIX-3962:
----------------------------------------

Technically, from this resolver's perspective, returning a resolved host capability is invalid. However, if we want to patch it so that it filters it so that it doesn't lead to strange errors, then we can do that.

> I was running into some very strange uses constraint violations if my resolve context handed back host capabilities from resources that already have wirings (already resolved).  It is hard to pin point all the issues, but the end result was that when checking for consistencies I found the compare being done between WrappedCapability and the raw Capability and failing.  I think this was happening because of some inconsistencies for when a WrappedResource is created.
> I easily worked around the issue in my ResolveContext implementation by not returning host capabilities for already resolved resources.  But I think the resolver impl should be more robust if this happens and weed out the host capabilities from resolved hosts if the resolver does not support attaching fragments to already resolved hosts.
> I also would like to understand if the intention of the code is to only create WrappedResource objects for resources that have no wiring.  I know WrappedRequirement and WrappedCapability objects can get created for already resolved resources that have reqs and caps from attached fragments, but my understanding is that WrappedResource objects are only to be created for resources that are unresolved (no wirings).  If not then there are a whole bunch of calls to ResolveContext.getWirings().get(...) that we need to check because currently the code will pass WrappedResource objects to this.  That probably is not correct anyway, but it is dead wrong if the resource being wrapped really has wirings according to the ResolveContext.
