:-) During R4 spec development we allowed fragments to attach to multiple hosts. Prior to going final on R4, we changed course and limited fragments to only attach to a single host. The sentence you quote is left over from when we considered allowing fragments to attach to multiple hosts. Also see the method signature of PackageAdmin.getHosts where the return type is an array and not a scalar.
We are currently discussing revisiting that decision. That is, to potentially allow a fragment to attach to multiple hosts. It would be useful to get input from the OSGi community on the pros and cons of such a change. -- BJ Hargrave Senior Technical Staff Member, IBM OSGi Fellow and CTO of the OSGi Alliance [EMAIL PROTECTED] office: +1 386 848 1781 mobile: +1 386 848 3788 From: Alan Cabrera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: OSGi Developer Mail List <[email protected]> Date: 2007-10-02 02:07 Subject: [osgi-dev] Finding Localization Entries Hello, I'm trying to get my head around 3.10.1 Finding Localization Entries. The last sentence of the first paragraph confuses me. "Fragment bundles must delegate the search for a localization entry to their host bundle with the lowest bundle ID." Does this mean that fragment bundles can have multiple hosts?
