             Summary: Clarify icon location
                 Key: FELIX-3733
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3733
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Metatype Service, Specification compliance
    Affects Versions: metatype-1.0.4
            Reporter: Felix Meschberger
            Assignee: Felix Meschberger
             Fix For:  metatype-1.0.6


The Metatype Service specification states for the location value of the icon 
element (Table 105.1 in section 105.7.1):

     The resource is a URL. The base URL is assumed to be the XML file
     with the definition. I.e. if the XML is a resource in the JAR file, then 
this
     URL can reference another resource in that JAR file using a relative URL.

Our current implementation takes this definition and uses the XML resource URL 
as the base URL to create the Icon URL.

For example: If the icon resource path is "icon/sample.png" and the XML 
resource URL is "file://bundle-5/OSGI-INF/metatype/sample.xml" then the icon 
resource URL would be assumed to be "file://bundle-5/OSGI-INF/icon/sample.png".

In contrast the current OSGi CT work-in-progress expects the URL to be relative 
to the defining bundle.

It must be clarified which reading is correct.
