------------------------------------
Summary: Improve usability for ConfigurationPlugins
Key: FELIX-6059
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-6059
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Configuration Admin
Affects Versions: configadmin-1.9.10
Reporter: Jürgen Albert
It is often the case, that a configuration needs a configuration plugin (like a
plugin that sets database connection password from a secure store). At the
moment, it is hard to guarantee that a plugin is known to the ConfigAdmin. Thus
2 things might be usefull:
# ConfigurationAdmin should propagate what ConfigurationPlugins are known to
him via a property on its service registration. Suggest would be to have a
Marker property on a ConfigurationPlugin, Config Admin can pick up. This
property could be "config.plugin.id". The ConfigAdmin could be "config.plugins".
# Define a system property the ConifgAdmin reads, that name a comma separated
list of config plugin ids, it waits for before it registers its service.
