[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-177?page=comments#action_12455737 ] Richard S. Hall commented on FELIX-177: ---------------------------------------
I am not against this second approach in general, but there was originally some thought (I think) that you may want to start/stop a Felix instance repeatedly...not that this is a big use case. Looking at the code, though, to get restarting to work we would have to at a minimum revert the framework status back to INITIAL once everything is shutdown. I am not sure it is worth the trouble. Perhaps other people have feedback on the issue of whether or not it makes sense to be able to stop and then restart a framework instance. If it is not a worthwhile use case, then we could move the start() arguments to the constructor and make start() accept no arguments like you suggest. Anyone have any thoughts on this? > Simplify Felix Framework constructor > ------------------------------------ > > Key: FELIX-177 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-177 > Project: Felix > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Framework > Reporter: Chris Custine > Priority: Trivial > Attachments: FELIX-177-2.patch, FELIX-177.diff > > > I want to be able to create Felix framework instances and manage their bean > dependencies within a Spring context, so modifying the > org.apache.felix.framework.Felix object to have a default constructor and > simple mutators to inject dependencies will make this much easier.
