Pierre De Rop reopened FELIX-4879:
----------------------------------
> ConfigurationDependency should always "need instance".
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FELIX-4879
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4879
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Dependency Manager
> Affects Versions: org.apache.felix.dependencymanager-r2
> Reporter: Pierre De Rop
> Assignee: Pierre De Rop
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: org.apache.felix.dependencymanager-r3
>
>
> Currently, the ConfigurationDependency only specifies that it "needs an
> instance" if there is no callback instance. But if there is a callback
> instance, then the "needsInstance" method returns false (because we have the
> callback instance already).
> So, from one side, it makes sense to not require a component instance if
> there is a callback instance configured (since we have the callback instance,
> we don't need the component instance).
> However, the callback instance is then not able to get access to the
> component instances while being invoked (the first time), using the Component
> object.
> So, the ConfigurationDependency should always have a "needsInstance" method
> returning true (always), even if there is a callback instance configured for
> the Configuration Dependency.
