In felix ds you can use the ScrService to enable or disable any component no matter what bundle it is in. So I don't think adding another non-spec way to do this is a good idea.
With regard to the configuration ;pd/factory pid I'm not an expert but I think there were some R4.3 changes in how configurationPIDs might be sharable, but I thought previously the first bundle to consume a configurationPID got to use it exclusively. Also in DS 1.2 you can specify the configurationPID separately from the component name. david jencks On Oct 3, 2012, at 11:31 AM, Andrei Pozolotin wrote: > I do not know. > > how is this addressed by ConfigurationAdmin? > service.pid and factory.pid are supposed to be framework-global? how one > bundle is creating a config entry for another? > DS component.name with configurationPolicy=required is mapped to > ConfigurationAdmin service.pid/factory.pid - means it is already global? > > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Re: [DS] Feedback wanted on some ideas > From: David Jencks <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Date: Wed 03 Oct 2012 12:49:24 PM CDT >> As of DS 1.1, the component name is only unique per bundle.
