             Summary: Make Camel OSGI Extender Subsystem-Aware
                 Key: CAMEL-8647
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-8647
             Project: Camel
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: camel-core
            Reporter: Manuel Holzleitner


I would like to propose a change to the camel-core extender for components, 
type converters, etc. to allow to use camel-core with subsystem-aware 
OSGI-containers to separate components and it’s dependencies into subsystems. 
This would allow to isolate applications and camel components (incl. it’s 
libraries) from each other. I.e. you could run HTTP-related components that 
rely on (otherwise conflicting) HTTP client libs in different versions next to 
each other.

Currently, the BundleTracker in the camel-core extender is initialized on its 
own BundleContext and therefore does not receive any events from started camel 
component bundles that reside in subsystems. I discussed a solution to make the 
camel extender subsystem-aware in the Aries mailinglist [1], who already 
conducted this change in the blueprint implementation. 

This approach from the upcoming R6 DS 1.3 spec was proposed by David Jencks as 
a solution:
  - use the system bundle (bundle 0) to look for events of interest, so you see 
them for all bundles
  - have the extender register an extender capability
  - have bundles that need extension register a matching extender requirement
  - the extender should only extend bundles with no extender requirement or 
ones with extender requirements wired to their own extender capability.

I implemented this approach accordingly for camel and tested it in combination 
with the Aries subsystem module. Any feedback to this would be very much 
appreciated.
