------------------------------------
Summary: ConfigurationDependency should always "need instance".
Key: FELIX-4879
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4879
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Dependency Manager
Affects Versions: org.apache.felix.dependencymanager-r2
Reporter: Pierre De Rop
Assignee: Pierre De Rop
Priority: Minor
Fix For: org.apache.felix.dependencymanager-r3
Currently, the ConfigurationDependency only specifies that it "needs an
instance" if there is no callback instance. But if there is a callback
instance, then the "needsInstance" method returns false (because we have the
callback instance already).
So, from one side, it makes sense to not require a component instance if there
is a callback instance configured (since we have the callback instance, we
don't need the component instance).
However, the callback instance is then not able to get access to the component
instances while being invoked (the first time), using the Component object.
So, the ConfigurationDependency should always have a "needsInstance" method
returning true (always), even if there is a callback instance configured for
the Configuration Dependency.
