Hi all,
I have an incertainty about Service PID syntax as well as enforcement of
it in the ConfigurationAdmin service.
As specified in Section 5.2.6, Persistent Identifier (PID), a PID is
defined the same as a symbolic-name as defined in Section 1.3.2, General
Syntax Definitions (all in the R 4.2 Core Spec). Such PIDs are referred
to in the Configuration Admin specification to identify configurations.
My questions:
(1) One of the examples in Section 104.3.1.3, Devices, of the
Compendium spec seems to violate this restriction proposing
the string "802-00:60:97:00:9A:56" as a PID (this is invalid
because colons are not allowed in symbolic names).
Is this a bug or intention ?
(2) The ConfigurationAdmin interface does not define an exception
to be thrown (e.g. IllegalArgumentException) if a PID argument
to the getConfiguration or createFactoryConfiguration methods
is invalid according to the definition of PID.
What should a ConfigurationAdmin implementation do ?
As for the Apache Felix implementation: We currently do not check PID
values and accept any string.
Thanks for any clarification.
Regards
Felix
