Subject: Re: [osgi-dev] Uninstall bundle and exported packages
Hi guys,
As with my previous post regarding refresh packages I found another
difference between Felix/Equinox/Knopflerfish related to uninstalling
a bundle and availability of exported packages of that bundle. In my
view the specs are not clear enough regarding this aspect.
So:
1. I have bundle A exporting package P
2. I have bundle B importing package P. Bundle B is the only bundle
importing package P.
3. Both bundles are started.
If I uninstall bundle A (just uninstall not refresh) bundle B will
still be started (so resolved) as expected and specs are clear about
this.
Then I uninstall bundle B and install again bundle B:
Felix: bundle B will be resolvable
Equinox/Knopflerfish: bundle B will not be resolvable and is missing
the imports of bundle A
Looking at the specs:
1. 4.0.1, section 4.3.8: "Packages of uninstalled bundles must not be
used by newly installed bundles, but are still used by its importers
until the refreshPackages method has been called or the Framework is
restarted."
2. 4.1.0, section 4.3.11: "If none of the old exports are used, then
the old exports must be removed. Otherwise, all old exports must
remain available for existing bundles and future resolves until the
refreshPackages method is called or the Framework is restarted."
According to 4.0.1 correct behavior is the one from
Equinox/Knopflerfish. According to 4.1.0 I think that Felix is
correct, but I'm not sure what the "old exports" means. Is there a
difference between exports of the uninstalled bundle and the old
exports of uninstalled bundle? And in the context of example above
when bundle B is uninstalled, so there are no more bundles uwing the
package P of bundle A, should the package P still be available for
future resolve?
Note that all of this is in the context on not calling refresh.
Regards,

Hmmm... I stand corrected on my last post about the specification not allowing bundles to wire to exports from uninstalled bundles. I will have to look back at the CPEG discussions. I really do remember us discussing that exports from uninstalled bundles should not be allowed as wires for newly resolved bundles. Anyone else remember this CPEG discussion?
