Hi all,
Some time ago I posted a message on extending the Configuration Admin
implementation to support configuration contained in bundles to be
installed (see [1]). BJ Hargrave pointed me at the Deployment Admin
Specification part of the R4.1 Compendium specs.
We have now decided to go that way an implement the specification as
well as the Auto Configuration Specification, assuming there is no
ongoing work yet in the Apache Felix project.
Starting from the spec I would setup as follows:
* Parent folder "deployment"
Hmm. This is a generic term that could be applied to OBR too. Why not
deploymentadmin which states what it is precisely?
* Deployment Admin in subfolder "admin", main package
org.apache.felix.deploymentadmin
Then this could be admin or core or whatever.
* Auto Conf in subfolder "autoconf", main package
org.apache.felix.deployment.rp.autoconf
What is the "rp" ?
In addition, we currently think about also creating a Maven Plugin to
support in the creation of the Deployment Packages. Such a plugin would
probably be named "maven-deployment-plugin" and also be located in the
"deployment" folder.
Ok.
Finally, the Deployment Admin spec talks about Framework backdoors
required for bundle upgrade/removal fallback. I will investigate such
backdoors in my sandbox as I will also start the development in my
sandbox.
Ok. We can discuss this when you have some ideas...feel free to ask for
input too.
