Hey Fabian,

Do you mind if I create the Jira and try a hack ?

HI,
yes I understand the current solution. It is really nice. My request was
for a much simpler much more basic feature.

karaf.lock.exclusive

would probably be what I need. But I would not know how to implement that

Hi Fabian,

the purpose is also to be able to "prepare" the slave instance, so the
instance has to be started somehow.

However, what you propose could make sense in some use case. Maybe we can
add a karaf.lock.exclusive property to define this behavior.

WDYT ?

JB

Hi,
to my surprise I saw that while Karaf has a sweet failover mechanism, it
does not provide means to actually prevent startup of a second instance,
should the use case require it.
i can turn Lock off, but then I can start as many instances as I like
(which subsequently have bundle issues due to activators not able to bind
ports).
And I can wait for previous instances to terminate by using File or JDBC
lock.
In my case I want the second start to fail.

Would it be sufficient to subclass SimpleFileLock, and to overwrite

boolean lock() throws Exception {
   boolean locked = super.lock();
   if (!locked) throw new RuntimeException("startup aborted");
   return true;
}

or would that be not a great idea?

if you think its useful I can make this nice and package as PR

Fabian
