--------------------------------

             Summary: Support both osgi.bundle and osgi.fragment resource types 
when given a Subsystem-Content header clause with an unspecified type attribute.
                 Key: ARIES-1425
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-1425
             Project: Aries
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Subsystem
    Affects Versions: subsystem-2.0.4
            Reporter: John Ross
            Assignee: John Ross
             Fix For: subsystem-2.0.6


Before ARIES-1368, the Subsystems implementation would not distinguish between 
bundle and fragment content. This created the following issues as discussed in 
that bug:

(1) Content would not be found when the Subsystem-Content header was computed 
by the implementation and fragments were provided by a remote repository.

(2) Content would not be found when the Subsystem-Content header was specified 
and contained a resource with type osgi.fragment provided by the local 
repository.

However, it did not cause issues when, for example, fragment content was 
included as part of the header without specifying the type, and the fragment 
also existed within the local repository. 

Unfortunately, the bug lived long enough to become an issue for consumers with 
a zero migration policy. Consequently, we would like to introduce the following 
implementation specific behavior without violating the specification.

REQUIREMENTS

(1) An unspecified type attribute in a Subsystem-Content header clause MAY 
indicate either a bundle (i.e. osgi.bundle) or a fragment (i.e. osgi.fragment).

(2) When the type attribute is not specified, the implementation MUST search 
for both bundles and fragments according to the rules for discovering content 
resources in section 134.5.5 of the specification.

(3) Bundles MUST be preferred over fragments.
