Hi Thomas, Thanks a lot for your reply.Actually I am dealing a performance
issue with some custom bundle loading/installing code.
So with 'reference' install i am getting a huge performance improvement. So is
it the case? or its just that I am dealing with a badly written code :|
I have some 700 jars in a folder that and its not fixed can be added/removed by
the user. The code is written as such it will loop over the list of jars
present in the directory. Install the bundle one by one. If the bundle already
loaded then it is uninstalled.
Currently, 'reference' is not used. But with 'reference' I got a huge
performance improvement. Is it expected? Regards, Yash Bagadia

A 'reference' install will not copy the content of the bundle file into the
framework's internal storage. Instead it will load the bundle directly out of
the file URL the 'reference' URL is pointing to. Note that 'reference' URLs
only support embedded 'file' URLs (not http etc.) This has advantages for
management agents that manage bundles in their own bundle store on disk and you
want to avoid double copies of the bundle on disk when they are installed into
the framework. Any non-reference URL will copy the content of the bundle into
the framework's internal storage. This allows the original content to be
deleted after installation and the bundle will remain functional and installed
within the framework. HTH

BundleContext.installBundle

I have observed there are 2 ways to pass url to BundleContext.installBundle
function as below:String installURL1 = "file:///abc/def.jar; String installURL2
= "reference:file:abc/def.jar";What is the difference in these 2 and which one
is recommended? Regards,Yash
