David Jencks commented on FELIX-6019:
-------------------------------------
I think you have created a new concept of optional component supported in none
of osgi, bnd, or karaf features. FWIW although it’s been several years I think
I encountered a similar problem with osgi subsystems and I don’t recall if or
how I solved it. I believe that if you installed your bundles individually into
karaf rather than as a feature you would have no problems. The problem is that
karaf’s feature resolver is insisting on resolving the non-runtime
effective:=active requirements. Generating the requirement is I believe part of
the ds spec so I would not advise arbitrarily removing it except perhaps as a
temporary workaround. I think better choices are:
- modifying your component to not generate the requirement (such as 0..n
reference set to 1..n with mandatory configuration supplied as json/yaml in the
bundle for the configuration)
- satisfying the requirement with a disabled component that won’t bind
- working with karaf to introduce the concept of optional requirement for a
feature.
What I don’t understand is why, AFAICT, you have not considered the third
option.
