I came up with the following extension: https://github.com/apache/karaf/blob/master/features/extension/src/main/java/org/apache/karaf/features/extension/Activator.java
It seems to work correctly so far. I suppose it would be even faster to have it in the framework to avoid going through the resolver at all, but it seems to fulfill my needs. 2016-10-03 18:02 GMT+02:00 Guillaume Nodet <gno...@apache.org>: > I have a use case where the wiring is a bit complicated. > Karaf uses the felix resolver to compute the full wiring and then applies > it. > At this point, all the bundles are resolved and started correctly. > If Karaf is restarted, the framework restarts and resolves the bundles on > its own, using a bad solution (because the resolver is not greedy) which > leaves some bundles in a non resolvable state (i.e. without refreshing some > bundles). > At this point, I've tried to have Karaf stores the computed wiring so that > it can be re-applied when restarting.
