Allow URLStreamHandler services to override built-in handlers.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-756
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-756
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Framework
Affects Versions: felix-1.2.2
Reporter: Karl Pauls
In certain cases it might be desirable to override built-in URLStreamHandlers
with services provided by bundles. As of now, the spec doesn't allow this (see
11.3.2 ff) but it might in the future. Furthermore, it looks like other
implementations are less strict on this issue as we are. For now, the best one
can do is to put handlers in the classpath of the framework and make them
available via the java.protocol.handler.pkgs properties. This way, one can
override the built-in handlers but needs control over the jvm (which is not the
best solution).
It should be possible to add an option to felix that will register handlers
that proxy the built-in ones but prefer registered URLStreamHandler services if
there is one available for a given schema.
