----------------------------------------
Summary: Support setting configuration binding
Key: FELIX-3849
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3849
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Web Console
Affects Versions: webconsole-4.0.0
Reporter: Felix Meschberger
When a configuration is used it is generally bound to the bundle of the
configuration consumer. The intent originally was that configurations can only
be consumed by a single bundle (actually a single consumer such as a
ManagedService registered with the configuration's service.pid).
As of recent Configuration Admin specifications the configuration binding has
been defined more openly such that configurations can be shared amongst
consumers in different bundles.
The web console currently only displays the bound location and allows for
clearing the binding (setting it to null). To fully support the new
configuration location regions, GUI should be provided to change or set the
location to some explicit string, such as "?*" to not restrict the
configurations use at all.
Also, the web console should be extended to by default set a configuration
location. For backwards compatibility it would probably make sense to have such
functionality configurable, since Configuration Admin implementations not
supporting the location regions would fail using configurations bound to
locations such as "?*".
