I've added config for an Declarative Services component in the src/main/feature/feature.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <features xmlns="http://karaf.apache.org/xmlns/features/v1.4.0" name="oldalbum.roleadder.test"> <feature name="${karaf-feature-name}"> <config name="no.priv.bang.oldalbum.roleadder.test.ShiroRoleAdderForOldalbumTestEnvironment"> username=${env:USERNAME:-admin} password=${env:PASSWORD:-admin} allowModify=${env:ALLOW_MODIFY:-true} </config> <feature>scr</feature> </feature> </features> The etc/no.priv.bang.oldalbum.roleadder.test.ShiroRoleAdderForOldalbumTestEnvironment.cfg file is created on startup, with the expected content: username=${env:USERNAME:-admin} password=${env:PASSWORD:-admin} allowModify=${env:ALLOW_MODIFY:-true} org.apache.karaf.features.configKey = no.priv.bang.oldalbum.roleadder.test.ShiroRoleAdderForOldalbumTestEnvironment But on the first call to the @Activate method the config object is almost empty: {component.name=no.priv.bang.oldalbum.roleadder.test.ShiroRoleAdderForOldalbumTestEnvironment, component.id=7} If I stop karaf, delete the data directory, restart karaf, and reinstall the feature (now with the config file in place), the @Activate method gets the config results: {service.pid=no.priv.bang.oldalbum.roleadder.test.ShiroRoleAdderForOldalbumTestEnvironment, allowModify=true, password=admin, org.apache.karaf.features.configKey=no.priv.bang.oldalbum.roleadder.test.ShiroRoleAdderForOldalbumTestEnvironment, component.name=no.priv.bang.oldalbum.roleadder.test.ShiroRoleAdderForOldalbumTestEnvironment, felix.fileinstall.filename=file:/home/sb/skrot/apache-karaf-4.2.9/etc/no.priv.bang.oldalbum.roleadder.test.ShiroRoleAdderForOldalbumTestEnvironment.cfg, component.id=4, username=admin} Is there a way so that I can get the contents of the newly generated .cfg file on the first component install? Thanks! - Steinar
