Felix Meschberger resolved FELIX-612.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Commited the fix in Rev. 683162: a configuration object created through one of
the createFactoryConfiguration methods is neither registered with the
(internal) factory nor is it persisted nor is it cached internally. Only when
it is first stored will it be persisted and registered.
> ConfigurationAdmin.createFactoryConfiguration should not persist Configuration

> Key: FELIX-612
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-612
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Configuration Admin
> Affects Versions: configadmin-1.0.0, configadmin-1.0.1
> Reporter: Felix Meschberger
> Assignee: Felix Meschberger
> Fix For: configadmin-1.0.2
>
>
> Currently the ConfigurationAdmin.createFactoryConfiguration methods
> immediately persist factory configurations upon creating them. This is not
> really incorrect as per the spec.
> The problem comes with this opening the gate for potential garbage
> configuration to remain. Consider this sample method:
> public void createGarbage( String factoryPid )
> {
> getConfigurationAdmin().createFactoryConfiguration( factoryPid );
> }
> This method creates a new factory configuration object on each call and
> immediately drops any reference to it. Because the configuration PID of the
> configurations returned is created randomly, there is no way to ever retrieve
> this configuration again. Why ? getConfiguration cannot be used because the
> PID is unkown and listConfigurations will not return it because the
> configuration has no properties yet.
> So in the interest of not potentially producing garbage, the
> createFactoryConfiguration method should not immediately persist the
> configuration object.
