> Properly serialize multiple bundle installations
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FELIX-3523
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3523
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Web Console
> Affects Versions: webconsole-3.1.8
> Reporter: Felix Meschberger
> Priority: Major
>
> Consider an administrator wishing to install a number of interdependent
> bundles through the Web Console. There are basically two options:
> (1) Multiple requests with one bundle after the other. Problem is that
> installation takes place asynchronously and there is no easy and direct
> feedback on the installation. Thus sending successive requests must be timed.
> Not nice.
> (2) Send one single request with multiple bundlefile parameters.
> Unfortunately, this does not work either, because each bundle is installed in
> its own thread. Not nice.
> I see two solutions:
> (a) add an option requesting synchronous installation instead of background
> installation. When using HTTP clients such as cURL such an option can easily
> be used and leveraged because there is little chance of deadlocks (which lead
> to the asynchronous installation in the first place)
> (b) implement a proper queue for asynchronous installation such that the
> installation of multiple bundles can be properly serialized. This would have
> the added benefit of not creating a new thread for each installation.
> Caveat for synchronization: If the Web Console itself is to be updated,
> synchronous installation/update may fail. Such an implementation much take
> precaution.
