Hi all
In a comment to FELIX-1221 [1] Tim Moloney proposes the definition of a
well-known configuration property, which may act as kind of an alias for
the service.pid property automatically generated by the Configuration
Admin Service upon factory configuration creation.
Such a property would serve multiple purposes:
* Provide a human readable identifaction of a factory
configuration (at least more human readable than the generated PID)
* Provide an alias for tools match factory configurations to external
data for synchronization. Candidates of such tools are:
- File Install
- Karaf Features
- Sling JCR Install (similar to File Install)
- Web Console
Currently each tool uses its own approach and its own name. Having a
common name would simplify things probably and would allow the Web
Console to better identify configurations etc.
The name could be something like felix.servicePid or so....
WDYT ?
Regards
Felix
