Console should warn when config is bound to a different bundle
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-1996
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1996
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Web Console
Affects Versions: webconsole-2.0.4
Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz
Priority: Minor
Working on upgrades of an OSGi-based system, which include moving services from
one bundle to another for refactoring purposes, I had several cases where the
console didn't display configuration values correctly, because the
configuration was bound to a different bundle (B) than the one (A) where the
corresponding service comes from.
Usually because the service that uses the config used to be in bundle A, but
was moved to bundle B.
The symptoms are either no fields or values shown on the configuration page at
all, or all name/value pairs displayed in a single textarea instead of
individual fields.
IIUC that's because the webconsole cannot access the metadata about the
configuration fields anymore in this case.
If that's correct, it would be good to have a warning on the configuration page
when that happens, to help troubleshooting such cases.
