FileInstall handling of directories in the watched directory is not powerful
enough
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-2869
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2869
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Bug
Components: File Install
Affects Versions: fileinstall-3.1.4
Reporter: Alasdair Nottingham
In the Aries project we have an ArtifactInstaller for installing our flavour of
OSGi applications. We can tell something in the watched directory is an OSGi
application because it ends with .eba. We do not care if it is a directory, or
an archive, we would cope with both. However we do need it to end in .eba
The problem is that in the directory case the canHandle method and the install
method are passed different things. canHandle is passed a jared up copy of the
directory with a .jar extension. install is passed the directory in the watched
dir. This breaks my scanning algorithm, which has to be based on extension, as
the file has a .jar. I can't even update it to accept a .eba.jar because I only
want to support that in the case where file install has jared it up from a
directory, not any .eba.jar, but I can't tell this.
Another concern is if my ArtifactInstaller can cope with a jar, but not a
directory then the current approach would call my install method and be broken.
