Bundle URLs do not survive refreshes
------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-2560
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2560
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Framework
Affects Versions: framework-3.0.2
Reporter: Richard S. Hall
Priority: Minor
Fix For: framework-3.2.0
Currently, bundle URLs are encoded like this:
bundle://<bundle-id>.<revision-id>:<class-path-idx>/path/to/resource
This is convenient to access our internal data structures and survives
toString() round-tripping, but it does have the disadvantage that it doesn't
survive a module being refreshed. The <revision-id> of a module gets reset
after a refresh, which makes existing URLs become invalid. If <revision-id>
were something like a <revision-name> that didn't get reset, then it would
continue to work.
This is clearly a corner case and not super important, but we could investigate
making such a change. It may impact the bundle cache too. This is also not
spec-mandated behavior, so bundles shouldn't really depend on this behavior
either.
