Re: can web console RESTful API block until installation has been finished?

[Neil Bartlett]

I don't believe FileInstall is a solution, since it also installs and starts bundles individually rather than in bulk. To do this properly you need a server side solution, possibly an enhancement to the existing REST interface. I would propose one of the following: 1) Make the install operation (which presumably is modelled as an HTTP POST) return the bundle ID of each bundle it installs. Then create a second operation that starts a bundle based on its ID; probably this would be a subsequent PUT. 2) Allow the REST interface to receive a zip of bundles; it would install and then start all of the enclosed bundles as a unit. Regards Neil Ali Naddaf 23 May 2012 18:09 If you want to go that route, you can use something like the FileInstall (http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-file-install.html) bundle and copy your stuff over to the directory that this bundle watches...

Meanwhile, is there a better way to deploy 10 or so bundles? I can put sleeps between curl commands.. but I was wondering if there's a way to take felix down and rsync bundles to some location in the felix server.

Hmm, if you supplied the bundlestart parameter, it should start them, but .... Unfortunately, this is done completely wrong and I have to come back to my earlier remark: The Web Console sould probably implement a proper queue for installations. Because currently, even though you can upload multiple bundles, each bundle will be installed in its own thread thus you are back to field one. I have created FELIX-3523 [1] to track that.

Unless I put `sleep 10` between curl commands, I have to `kill -9` felix instance. Is there a way to configure web console so that it sends out HTTP response only after the bundle is completely installed? It looks like I am sending install request for bundle2.jar while felix has not finished installing bundle1.jar. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@felix.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@felix.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@felix.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@felix.apache.org sam ” 22 May 2012 21:52 Problem of multiple -Fbundlefile=@bundle1.jar -Fbundlefile=@bundlefile2.jar .... is that bundles become Installed state, not Active state.
