Neil Bartlett commented on FELIX-5512:
--------------------------------------
I've just been informed that the OSGi 1.1 function API has added the "throws
Exception".
Which means it not a function! Sigh. But this is not the place to have that
argument. Closing.
> Converter uses wrong/incompatible OSGi Function interface
> ---------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FELIX-5512
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5512
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Converter
> Reporter: Neil Bartlett
>
> The converter project includes a source copy of the OSGi Function API,
> {{org.osgi.util.function}}. Unfortunately this API is incompatible with the
> official OSGi Function API.
> {{Function#apply}} is not permitted to throw checked exceptions (see OSGi R6
> Compendium, section 705.11.2.1). However the source copy in this project
> declares the {{apply}} method with {{throws Exception}}. Unfortunately this
> means that code in the project will not compile against the official API, for
> example one of the lambdas in ConverterImpl wants to throw
> ClassNotFoundException.
> This may not be a problem in an OSGi deployment if the function API is
> embedded in the bundle. But if you use converter as a JAR in a flat classpath
> application then it could conflict with the API JAR.
