             Summary: Support binding configuration to all registrations with the corresponding PID
                 Key: FELIX-4694
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4694
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Tuomas Kiviaho


Currently configurations are created without specifying bundle location so there is no way to share configuration using fileinstall.  {{getConfiguration}} states that 
{code}
	 * ... If the
	 * location parameter is {@code null}, it will be set when a Managed Service
	 * with the corresponding PID is registered for the first time. If the
	 * location starts with {@code ?} then the configuration is bound to all
	 * targets that are registered with the corresponding PID.
{code}

Now I'm forced to tweak the {{felix.cm.dir}} directly which is quite error prone approach.

I'd be satisfied event with a global boolean flag which would enable the sharing, but I guess a more appropriate choice would be to do it per cfg. 

Another idea would be to mimic {{felix.cm.dir}} behavior so that various {{service.}} prefixed properties (not just {{service.bundleLocation}}) would be removed from the dictionary itself and be used only when communicating with {{ConfigurationAdmin}}
