Richard S. Hall commented on FELIX-2601:
----------------------------------------
Similar to the other issue, this is an area that really relates to policy
decisions, which OBR doesn't handle very well at the present moment.
Also as before, we're not ignoring you, but open source projects are always a
little shorthanded. However, since you are a programmer, you are actually in a
position to help us out by contributing patches. We'd appreciate all the help
we can get. Thanks.

> Key: FELIX-2601
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2601
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Bundle Repository (OBR)
> Affects Versions: bundlerepository-1.6.4
> Reporter: Emily Jiang
>
> Felix OBR treats optional service as mandatory service ('optional' attribute
> with the value of 'true' was ignored)'. The snippet of my repository is
> shown below.
> <require extend="false"
> filter="(&(service=service)(objectClass=a.service.BlogCommentService)(mandatory:<*service))"
> multiple="false" name="service" optional="true">Requires service with
> attributes {service=service,
> objectClass=a.service.BlogCommentService}</require>
> When the service of a.service.BlogCommentService is absent, I get resolver
> exception stating 'unable to get the depended service
> a.service.BlogCommentService'. It suggests that the optional attribute is
> interpreted as manadatory or ignored.
> Please let me know if you need more information.
> Regards
> Emily
