----------------------------------------
Summary: Ensure ordered property values in configurations
Key: FELIX-4360
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4360
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Configuration Admin, Specification compliance
Affects Versions: configadmin-1.8.0
Reporter: Felix Meschberger
Older Configuration Admin Service specifications allowed multi-value properties
to be stored as either arrays or Vector objects. Recently the specification was
changed to support Collection objects.
The problem is that vectors are sorted, much like lists, while collections do
not define an order.
The upcoming specification release of the Configuration Admin Service will
clarify that configuration properties provided in a Collection object
supporting ordering (e.g. Vector or List) must maintain their order when
persisted and provided back.
For our implementation this should not be a problem since we are internally
using ArrayLists. Still we might want to cross check and implement a unit or
integration test to validate the claim.
