Hi again Richard,
I've been investigating further and I realized my confusion came
because it seems that, while OBR takes into account the installed
"by hand" bundles to resolve as requested, it doesn't respond
about those resources (associated to the bundles installed "by
hand").
That is, if I try to "resolve()" a bundle by using the
RepositoryAdmin, it knows about the installed by hand bundles.
But, if I try to "getResources()" or "discoverResources(..)", I
get no results.
Is there a way of getting the installed "by hand" resources from
the RepositoryAdmin without creating a repository?
Off the top of my head, I don't know. I would assume that the
RepositoryAdmin is only querying actual repositories for
discoverResources() et al, so you won't get back resources from the
"fake" local repository.
Not sure what is the correct thing here, but I'm inclined to think
the current behavior makes sense, since technically installed
bundles do *not* form a repository (e.g., it is not possible to
download them).
Thank you for the clarifications Richard, I understand your
point and I agree with you. However, I may be wrong but, bundles (I
think) are always installed from a source, so it may be possible to use
that as the URI of the resource.
Yes, they are always installed from a source, but that information
isn't saved when installing via OBR, nor can the bundle include its
source in its manifest, since it may come from a number of sources.
I understand. Also, I think it would be a nice improvement to have
some logic capable of fetching this information (maybe intercepting
the installation command or something) and creating a full fledged
repository with it.
Yes, the would be the approach. The current OBR impl is too simplistic
to do that, but a beefed up implementation could do something like that.
Related to this, now that you mention it, I think that when creating a
repository from bundles (by using the API), the resulting xml doesn't
have a an URI attribute for the resources. Wouldn't that be wrong,
taking into account that the resources should be downloable?
Not sure. I've only created repositories using bindex and via the
maven-bundle-plugin and both give a URI attribute.
The case I mention could be reproduced by creating resources from
bundles (DataModelHelper#createResource(Bundle)) and then a repository
from those resources (DataModelHelper#repository(Resource[])). I think
it is related to what you said about OBR being unable to get an URI
from the Bundle.
Yes, I'd imagine if it is starting from a Bundle, then there isn't much
it can do about creating a URI.
Should I create a JIRA issue to check this case?
I guess the important question is, what would you like to have it do?
There are valid use cases for modeling bundles as resources in a
repository as OBR does for deploying against installed bundles, so we
can't disallow it.
Do you have some other suggestion?
