Not sure to follow ... What is the relationship between reading the

(wdym btw ?)

In fact Joel's issue was to configure service dependency filters thanks to .cfg file (iPOJO related question). However, to achieve this, the iPOJO instance configuration (or reconfiguration) must contains a dictionary <dependency-id, new filter>.

So, supporting XML files is definitely an improvement for File Install, but anyway it will not solve Joel's issue :-(

Hi,

It's an interesting feature, and I just open a jira about that (
https://cwiki.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1537), but it will not solve
the issue.
AFAIK, the configuration admin does not support dictionaries (at least in
the R4).

Clement

There is already a syntax for xml based properties file defined in the
jvm.
So we don't have to parse anything, it's just about detecting that the
file
is in xml somehow and use loadXml instead of load on the Properties object
iirc.
I guess the easiest solution is to try text based and in case of failure,
try with xml ...

I plan to apply a very big patch on fileinstall on monday, so we should
wait
a bit and do that on top of the work i've done.

Could you please raise a JIRA issue for that ?

It seems that it would be nice if FileInstall bundle would allow the

'.cfg' files to also be xml similar to the iPojo based configurations.


I'm sure it is possible if we define a syntax.
Describing list, array and dictionaries should be possible.

I saw that Guillaume Nodet has done a lot of work recently on
Fileinstall,
may be already done.

Subject: Re: requires.filter & cfg file for FileInstaller

Hi,

I'm not sure if it is possible, but my knowledge of file install is
quite limited.
It requires the ability to describe a dictionary. It that possible ?

Regards,

Clement

Is it possible to override the requires.filter in a cfg file for

instance configuration using FileInstaller?

I see: http://felix.apache.org/site/ipojo-reference-card.html

Where the instance configuration in xml can be used:


<instance name="FOO1" component="FOO"/> <!-- Use the default
'filter' value -->



<instance name="FOO2" component="FOO">

  <property name="requires.filters">

         <property name="id1" value="(foo.property=BAR)"/>

  </property>

</instance>

But I don't know how to do this with a cfg file. I'd like to be able
to change the filter on a @Requires dynamically in a cfg file
against a dynamically configured @ServiceProperty also configured in
a cfg file.
