David, the only case I was concerned with is when there is a
pre-existing file with the syntax of my test case, which is the syntax
supported by fileinstall. I think that the confusion results because
there is some escaping convention that permits persisting a value like
${foo} and reading it back, but I was not using that syntax, because I
was trying to move some files that were used with fileinstall in karaf
and use them with straight CA with plain Felix. In practical terms,
I've dropped in fileinstall to make progress.I think that my JIRA amounts to, "If you start with a file with invalid syntax, CA throws the entire file away and does not log an error". The test class I sent along is pretty much useless except as the nucleus of a test that would demand error logging from the overall CA; the low level file persistence manager is working correctly, I realize now, in rejecting that syntax. I will try to make the time to add the relevant test case (and probably the fix to log the error) later in the weekend.
