Richard S. Hall closed FELIX-681.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
For the most part, the methods invoked by the threads are already catching all
errors (by catching Throwables) when invoking callbacks. I modified a few to
make sure the caught all exceptions. In the future, we just need to make sure
the methods they invoke don't leak exceptions; luckily, the daemon threads are
very focus, so this is not difficult. I added some comments to explain the
approach.

> Key: FELIX-681
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-681
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Framework
> Affects Versions: felix-1.0.4
> Reporter: Richard S. Hall
> Assignee: Richard S. Hall
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: felix-1.6.0
>
>
> Both Package Admin and Start Level use internal threads to service requests.
> Both of these threads should probably catch all exceptions and log them.
> Currently, they do not, which can lead to premature thread death. However, in
> the event of an exception, they cannot really do anything about it and the
> framework is likely in a confused state, so having them continue is tricky,
> but there aren't many other options.
