Carsten Ziegeler commented on FELIX-4649:
-----------------------------------------
I've asked for clarification of the OSGi spec wrt when metatype information
should be read by the implementation. The answer is this:
>>>
The meta type information come from a variety of sources: resource in a bundle,
resources in attached fragments, MS(F) services implementing MTP, and MTP
services. Since the services are fully dynamic, there is never a known time
when one can be sure that all possible sources of metatype information are
present.
So the information returned by MetaTypeService is just the currently known
information. Therefore, a MetaTypeService implementation can return meta type
information about a bundle at any life cycle stage of a bundle (except for
UNINSTALLED obviously). So the spec must not prescribe any subset of states for
which an implementation can provide meta type information.
<<<
Therefore I think the current implementation is good enough and client code
should not rely on any particular bundle state.

> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Metatype Service
> Affects Versions: metatype-1.0.10
> Reporter: Irakli Betchvaia
>
> Problem
> Gathering metatype information as long as bundle is not in state
> Bundle.ACTIVE MetaTypeService returns null in method
> MetaTypeserviceImpl.getMetaTypeInformation. We'd like to have the
> MetatTypeInformation returned also in state Bundle.STARTING
> Solution
> Please replace the following in MediaTypeServiceimpl.java Method
> getMetaTypeInformation
> {code:title=MediaTypeServiceimpl.java|borderStyle=solid}
> if ( bundle.getState() == Bundle.ACTIVE )
> {
> putMetaTypeInformationInternal( bundle, mti );
> }
> else
> {
> impl = mti;
> mti = null;
> }
> {code}
> by
> {code:title=MediaTypeServiceimpl.java|borderStyle=solid}
> if ( bundle.getState() == Bundle.ACTIVE || bundle.getState() ==
> Bundle.STARTING )
> {
> putMetaTypeInformationInternal( bundle, mti );
> }
> else
> {
> impl = mti;
> mti = null;
> }
> {code}
