Yes, I use the same location string. Is there another way to do this?
Shouldn't the framework just ignore the existing location if the
bsnversion switch is set to multiple? I mean, why bother "allow multiple
bundles to be installed having the same symbolic name and version" if
the install method will refuse it before checking? This is how I
understand the spec, so I changed my build to check the switch before
eventually looking for the location and then just do one thing or the
other (return the existing bundle or install a new one).

Do you pass a unique location string each time you install?

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.

Malek.
