Hi everyone,
I'm trying to start many instances of the same bundle in one OSGi. I
have noticed that setting org.osgi.framework.bsnversion=multiple doesn't
change anything. The install command returns the ID of the already
installed bundle, no new bundle is installed, as specified in 4.4.3 of
the OSGi Core Release 6 Spec:
"Every bundle is uniquely identified by its location string. If an
installed bundle is using the specified
location, the installBundle methods must return the Bundle object for
that installed bundle and not install a new bundle."
Yet the same section also says:
"If the to be installed bundle has a bundle symbolic name and version
pair that is already installed in
the framework then the installation is only valid when the
org.osgi.framework.bsnversion framework launching property is set to
multiple or managed."
Section 10.1.15.49 (concerning org.osgi.framework.bsnversion=multiple)
actually says this should be possible:
"Specifies the framework will allow multiple bundles to be installed
having the same symbolic name and version."
So, is this a bug in the framework? I actually use my own build of the
framework where I changed the installBundle method of
org.apache.felix.framework.Felix.java to force this option to work. I
still would like to know the better way to achieve this or to have the
bug corrected.
Regards,
Malek.
