---------------------------------------
Summary: Configuration console silently ignores invalid properties
Key: FELIX-6303
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-6303
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Web Console
Affects Versions: webconsole-4.5.2
Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
Fix For: webconsole-4.5.4
When an OSGi configuration has a metatype information for a property which is
not a string, the value provided throught the console is converted to that
type, before setting the configuration property [1]
If the conversion fails, the value is ignored [2]
For example, if the metatype specifies the type to be Integer (like for a port
number etc) and a placeholder is used as the value using the interpolation
plugin (like $[env:HTTP_PORT]) then this string value is never set. It would be
better to allow such values and not silently ignore them
