Carsten Ziegeler commented on FELIX-4720:
-----------------------------------------
[~v_valchev] I think we agree on these points - however if a valid log service
implementation can provide an empty history we can do something about this; and
we can do it in a way that there is no change for systems with a buffering log
service implementation.
> Web Console and Gogo rely on Log history buffer in the Log Service

> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Gogo Command, Web Console
> Reporter: Peter Kriens
>
> The OSGi Log Reader Service has a command to get the history of the log.
> However, the specification states that this history can be empty. The Equinox
> framework is nowadays registering a Log Reader Service that has such an empty
> history to prevent pinning objects in memory.
> Using the history this way was always at odds with the specification since
> the history was only intended to hold the start up events. The primary model
> of the Log Service is a dispatcher.
> I suggest that the Gogo log command and the Web Console maintain their own
> history buffer to become independent on this fragile history buffer in the
> Log Reader service.
