cannot disable plugin
---------------------
Key: FELIX-2644
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2644
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Web Console
Affects Versions: webconsole-3.1.2
Reporter: Valentin Valchev
Something went terribly wrong! I cannot disable a plugin from the configuration.
The reason for this is that the plugins are initialized during startup. In the
constructor, the Web Console will lookup the configuration and see if plugin is
disable. If so, it will be ignored, otherwise the plugin will be instantiated
and ready to use.
However, configuration delivery is asynchronous, so you don't know when the
configuration dictionary is delivered and in my case, it is 'updated' a little
bit after the initialization. So initially, when the web console is
initialized, it has 'null' - default configuration and all plugins are enabled.
Then later on, after updating the configuration I disable as example the
'shell' plugin.
Unfortunately, the web console will not check if the plugin is disabled, when
the browser is opened and the 'shell' plugin remains visible.
Putting the plugin initialization in the constructor, means, that there is no
way to actually disable a plugin and all internal plugin will be instantiate
and visible by default, Even if they are not needed, there is no browser
request for them or disabled by the configuration.
