Hello,
Although this is a trivial issue to raise, the ability to dynamically wrap
urls both on the commandline and in features.xml is incredibly valuable
(not to mention very, very cool) - it's just a pain I do this so
infrequently I have to re-discover it each time.
There are a couple of caveats to using the wrap protocol on the command
line:
1. You must use single quotes around the URL, as the dollar will be
interpreted by the Karaf shell.
2. You must use backslash to escape the exclamation mark (for example
export-package exclude patterns)
Neither of these is required when defined in a features file.
The documentation (checked for 2.3.0) for the Wrap URL handler doesn't give
any usage examples. I think it'd be great to have one example (command
line and equivalent features.xml definition) with a note of the caveats
above.
I'm still unclear as to why the exclamation mark needs to be escaped, I
don't think this is POSIX compliant, AFAIK the single quotes should prevent
any interpretation (inconsistent as the dollar certainly doesn't need
escaping).
(I'd gladly file a jira and/or doc patch if required)
thanks,
Caspar
For example:
Commandline:
install -s 'wrap:mvn:jboss/jbossall-client/
4.2.3.GA/$Bundle-SymbolicName=jbossall-client&Bundle-Version=4.2.3.GA&Export-Package=org.jboss.remoting;version=
"4.2.3.GA",\!*'
Features XML:
<bundle>wrap:mvn:jboss/jbossall-client/${version.jboss}/$Bundle-SymbolicName=jbossall-client&Bundle-Version=${version.jboss}&Export-Package=org.jboss.remoting;version="${version.jboss}",!*</bundle>
