> If you just register a service in code, you can give the ServiceRegistration
> to the service and it can update its service properties to reflect what it
> can discover about its environment. This proposes that services registered
> through DS should be able to do this too, by calling an
> updateProperties(Dictionary) method on the ComponentContext. (Since we'd
> need a spec update to add the method to ComponentContext, I added a new
> interface that ComponentContextImpl implements).
> Right now a service could get Config Admin and modify the properties there,
> but then (a) the update method is called even though the component itself
> initiated the changes and (b) the new property values are persisted which is
> presumably not desired.
> According to the spec config admin properties override default property
> values specified in the component xml. I think that in order to reduce
> confusion, once a property has been set through config admin it should not be
> possible to update it through this update method. This also makes
> implementing this idea easy.
> IIUC this idea does not make sense for component factories.
> This idea was originally suggested by Erin Schnabel in OSGI bug 2250.
