--------------------------------------
Summary: Clarify the order of the iterator given by RankedServices
Key: SLING-5041
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-5041
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Commons
Affects Versions: Commons OSGi 2.3.0
Reporter: Konrad Windszus
Currently the order of the iterator in {{RankedServices}} returns the services
in the ascending order from lowest to highest ranking. This is a different
order then being used by OSGi internally [1]. Usually you are only interested
in an iterator which gives you the service with the highest ranking first
(because that would also be the one being returned by
{{BundleContext.getServiceReference()}}).
If we don't change the iterator logic we should at least make it clearer in the
Javadoc that the iterator really is ascending order of the service ranking and
we should probably add a more usefull iterator which gives back the services in
the ranking which is also considered by OSGi.
The issue came up in the context of SLING-5035.
