Hello,

this is really strange since we do pass in a fake URLHandler but with
an empty context. Maybe that is what causing the trouble. Anyways, I'm
going to remove this asap (it was a temporary placeholder anyways).

regards,

Karl

Hi,

This seems to have only been introduced lately into  Felix. I use the
same API call and just put a name there. To fix, I just prepend the
string "inputstream:" (not a good name after all :-) ), which works.

The API spec just says, the location is "used as the identity of the
bundle". That is each bundle has  its unique location name. The
BundleContext.installBundle(String location) spec says, that the
bundle is retrieved from the named location in a Framework dependent
manner and that the location string is "typically in the form of a
URL".

All in all, I can live with the situation of the location string to be
an URL. On the other hand as the spec does not require it, Felix
should probably handle the case of a missing scheme name properly when
creating the code source URL. Perhaps with something like this :

      URL dummy = new URL(null, "location:", fakeHandler); // might by Constant
      URL codeSource = new URL(dummy, locationString, fakeHandler);

Regards
Felix
