Hello! I use iPOJO (1.4.0) and File Install (3.0.0) deployed on Karaf (1.6.0).
I use the service factory pattern in OSGi to instantiate services from configuration files picked up by File Install. Howrver, there seems to be a startup problem. When the service is originally started, not all properties (in my newly instantiated service have received their values from the configuration file). Using Felix web console (the Configuration tab) the property values are correct. However, when I look under the iPOJO tab on the created instances the values are wrong. If I do any change in my configuration file (e g add some whitspace) and save it, File Install picks up the change and the iPOJO instance is now configured with the correct value. I've seen a pattern regarding this. It seems like properties that are not given a default value in my code (initialised to null) will get their configuration set properly but the properties that are initialised to another value than null will not get their proper value until I later re-save my configuration file (which I guess is the next time File Install will propagate configuration changes). Given the following code in my iPOJO service: ... @Property(name = "toUri", mandatory = false) private String mToUri; @Property(name = "delay", mandatory = false) private long mDelay = 1000; ... The "toUri" property will be initialised properly when the service is started but the "delay" property will be initialised to 1000 regardless of what value I put in the configuration file. When I later re-save the configuration file, the proper value of the "delay" property will be propagated. How can I have a default value but still have it overridden properly? /Bengt
