------------------------------------
Summary: Web Console configuration does not appear in
configurations
Key: FELIX-5105
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5105
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Web Console
Affects Versions: webconsole-4.2.14
Reporter: Miroslav Šulc
since some time web console configuration is more and more broken it seems.
there is for example bug related to lost localization of the configuration
which i encountered on my installations too. in some cases it also happens that
the web console configuration is not displayed at all. in fact i was not able
to display it (and so edit it) at all. i tried to debug the issue but the only
thing i found is that for some (to me) unknown reason the configuration from
java class is not picked up.
in version 4.2.15-SNAPSHOT and older versions the metatype provider is
implemented as java class
org.apache.felix.webconsole.internal.servlet.ConfigurationMetatypeSupport. that
is probably the cause of the problem that the configuration usually does not
load, maybe because of some synchronization issue. i noticed some information
about attempts to fix it in previous versions of web console but these were
just attempts as the issue persists.
i have no idea why the metatype provider is implemented using
ConfigurationMetatypeSupport class instead of using metatype.xml file which
would be more transparent and easier to manage, maybe it's for historical
reason when metatype implementation was not that capable as it is now.
so i created metatype.xml file that defines the same configuration as is done
using ConfigurationMetatypeSupport and it seems to work fine. i did not remove
the ConfigurationMetatypeSupport and related code though as i guess it would be
better done by someone who better understands the code.
i will try to attach the patch i have if i find out how.
