I have posted this to BugZilla under 17617. I am including it here for discussion as well.
Dependency maps are not being properly maintained when using the new {} and []
postfix operators on dependency descriptors. When using these, only the first
"provide" in the assembly.xml file is being considered a real dependency. This
is due to the visitDependencies method in
org.apache.avalon.phoenix.components.application.DependencyGraph retrieving the
first DependencyMetaData by key instead of retrieving all of them with the same
key.
My proposed fix includes a change to this class and an additional method added
to org.apache.avalon.phoenix.containerkit.metadata.ComponentMetaData
(getAllDependenciesByKey) that returns an array of DependencyMetaData instances
for the given key.
The symptom of this problem is that null is being put into the ServiceManager of
a block that uses multiple provide elements with the same array or map key.
Please include these changes or another appropriate fix in the source tree.
Thanks!
Terry Laurenzo
