David Jencks commented on FELIX-3377:
-------------------------------------
I think this is a good idea. I'd like to make sure I understand a couple
details.
- Both the ExtComponentContext.setServiceProperties and the return Dictionary
value from activate and update replace the service registration properties
rather than update the values calculated by some other method.
- calling ExtComponentContext.setServiceProperties from within an activate or
modify method would have the same effect as returning the service properties
from the method.
- In order to avoid "arguments" over whether config admin or the component sets
the service properties, the update method would recalculate the service
properties when config admin changes them and reset what it wants either
through a return value or calling ExtComponentContext.setServiceProperties.

> If you just register a service in code, you can give the ServiceRegistration
> to the service and it can update its service properties to reflect what it
> can discover about its environment. This proposes that services registered
> through DS should be able to do this too, by calling an
> updateProperties(Dictionary) method on the ComponentContext. (Since we'd
> need a spec update to add the method to ComponentContext, I added a new
> interface that ComponentContextImpl implements).
> Right now a service could get Config Admin and modify the properties there,
> but then (a) the update method is called even though the component itself
> initiated the changes and (b) the new property values are persisted which is
> presumably not desired.
> According to the spec config admin properties override default property
> values specified in the component xml. I think that in order to reduce
> confusion, once a property has been set through config admin it should not be
> possible to update it through this update method. This also makes
> implementing this idea easy.
> IIUC this idea does not make sense for component factories.
> This idea was originally suggested by Erin Schnabel in OSGI bug 2250.
