Allow passing of resource properties to a resource handler for use with
resource adapters.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-3292
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3292
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Dependency Manager
Reporter: Xander Uiterlinden
Currently we're using the dependency manager in our project. A feature we
extensively use is the resource adapter.
The resource adapter service gets access to a resource through the abstraction
of a URL. This is a nice abstraction
but raises challenges whenever an implementation requires more properties of
the resource, e.g. the last modification date
or the encoding.
At the moment we're working our way around it by creating implementing a custom
URLHandler.
It would be nicer if the resource adapter could be provided with a set of
optional properties. My suggestion would
be to extend the added(URL resource) method of the ResourceHandler with an
additional argument holding a
untyped set of properties. When provided these will be injected into the
resource adapter implementation.
I'll attach a patch to this issue with the implementation of this feature.
