Hi all,
thought I'd ask this general OSGi question on this list full of
OSGi-knowledgeable people.
Please tell me if it belongs better on a more OSGi-standard specific forum
(such as Felix/Equinox perhaps).
So I have a ManagedFactoryService that creates service instances and I have
another (client-)bundle that creates instances by registering new
configurations with the factory.
What I currently find difficult is to propagate errors (such as a required
configuration property missing) from the ManagedFactoryService to the
client.
When the client uses an invalid configuration dictionary to instantiate a
new service instance as follows
// instantiate new service with serviceConfig as instantiation
parameters
Configuration config =
configurationAdmin.createFactoryConfiguration(factoryPid, null);
config.update(serviceConfig);
no exception is raised despite the ManagedFactoryService throwing a
ConfigurationException.
I guess this is expected since configuration updates are handled on a
separate thread of execution.
But this is problematic since, from the client bundle's perspective, the
configuration update appears to have been successful.
So what I really need to know is if there is a best practice for
propagating the configuration error from the ManagedFactoryService to the
client?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
best regards, Peter
