-------------------------------------
Assignee: Richard S. Hall
> Ensure bundle identifiers never get reused
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FELIX-339
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-339
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Framework
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Marcel Offermans
> Assignee: Richard S. Hall
>
> The spec states about a Bundle Identifier (see 4.3.1 of the core spec): A
> long that is a Framework assigned unique identifier
> for the full lifetime of a bundle, even if it is updated or the Framework is
> restarted. Its purpose is to distinguish bundles in a Framework. Bundle
> identifiers are assigned in ascending order to bundles when they are
> installed. The method getBundleId() returns a bundle's identifier.
> Currently, there is a scenario in which an identifier might get reused. For
> example, say you install three bundles, they will get ID's 1, 2 and 3. You
> then uninstall bundle 3 and subsequently stop the framework. After a restart,
> you install another bundle. It will then also get an ID of 3. The reason for
> this is that Felix currently does not persist the highest ID it has used.
> The solution would be to persist this identifier. If somehow this persisted
> value gets corrupted, the framework should log at least a warning and could
> then use the same scheme it uses now to at least make an educated guess about
> the highest used number. A human might want to check out such a warning
> though.
