-----------------------------------
Summary: Web Console and Gogo rely on Log history buffer in the
Log Service
Key: FELIX-4720
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4720
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Gogo Command, Web Console
Reporter: Peter Kriens
The OSGi Log Reader Service has a command to get the history of the log.
However, the specification states that this history can be empty. The Equinox
framework is nowadays registering a Log Reader Service that has such an empty
history to prevent pinning objects in memory.
Using the history this way was always at odds with the specification since the
history was only intended to hold the start up events. The primary model of the
Log Service is a dispatcher.
I suggest that the Gogo log command and the Web Console maintain their own
history buffer to become independent on this fragile history buffer in the Log
Reader service.
