-------------------------------------
Summary: ServiceDependency declaration without service name
Key: FELIX-3949
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3949
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Tuomas Kiviaho
Priority: Minor
Attachments: ServiceDependencyImpl.patch
I'd like to track 'org.apache.ace.identification.Identification' instances in
order to pull out properties from respective service references. Problem is
that in order to do this I'd have to import the ACE specific package even when
I'm only interested in the service reference properties.
I tried to be clever and use only filter to achieve the this but noticed that
service name is always required although service tracker could function happily
only with service name.
ServiceDependencyImpl has this restriction only in start(DependencyService) and
for this reason setService() method forces the service name to be Object.class
when I only declare the service filter. This causes the actual filter to be
padded with (OBJECTCLASS=java.langObject) which is the reason why my attempt
did not work.
By fixing these two places, the service name could be made optional.
TemporalServiceDependency should also verify that the service name has actually
been declared.
