Hi,
I've some questions about the (non) sharing options of bundles in the
deployment admin that is not clearly described in [1]:
Suppose a bundle is already installed on the system, but not as part
of a deployment package, e.g., MyLogService v1.0.
If we would install a deployment package containing another version of
MyLogService, say, v1.1, is this considered valid?
If so, then the text of step 6 on page 334 of [1] should be changed as
it suggests that *any* installed bundle should be upgraded, regardless
whether it is part of the source package or not.
That bundle is so called "externally" (outside DeploymentAdmin) installed.
Why do you think that it should be upgraded?
If not, then the text of the first bullet of step 3 on page 333 of [1]
should be changed as it suggests that source packages can *only*
contain bundles that are either not present at all or present in the
target package, missing the scenario where a bundle is present in the
system, but not part of *any* deployment package.
Another question is the (non) sharing of resources; section 114.2.2 of
[1] clearly suggests that no sharing is allowed between deployment
packages for *any* resource. For bundles we should check for symbolic
name and version, but for any other resource this is up to the
implementation of the customizer, or not?
Yes, but the resource processor, not the customizer, because of:
"
A sharing violation must be considered an error. The install or update of
the offending Deployment
Package must fail if a resource would be affected by another Deployment
Package. The verification of
this rule is delegated to the Resource Processor services, or the Deployment
Admin service in case of
bundles.
