Re: [equinox-dev] Configuration Admin bug
|
I'm not sure I understand this ...
Simple configurator has two lists 1) a list of bundles it thinks need to be uninstalled 2) a list of bundles it thinks it need to be installed.
Right now the configurator uninstalls all the bundles in uninstallList and then installs all the bundles in installList, but couldn't something like the following be used instead.
for (each bundle in uninstallList) {
if (another version of bundle exists in installList) {
update(bundle with installList bundle content)
remove installList bundle from installList
}
else
uninstall(bundle)
}
for (each bundle in installList) {
install(bundle)
}
Where this breaks down is if you want to have "meaningful" bundle locations (returned by Bundle.getLocation()) that somehow point to the actual location on disk. When using Bundle.update() this location String remains constant, just like the Bundle ID.

Re: [equinox-dev] Configuration Admin bug |
In fact I don't know of any management agent capable of calling update in
the way a user could do on the command line since the definition of update
support updating any bundle into any other...
In p2 we have explored solutions to this problem and were able to come up
with a solution for the trivial cases (singleton bundles) however as soon
as more complex cases showed up it seemed like any guessing of what an
update would be looked completely random. Therefore we have decided not to
support that.

Another issue here is how bundles are updated to new versions. The CM
implementation uses the BundleContext.getDataFile method to obtain a
location to persistently store its data. This data area is unique to the
Bundle ID (long value). When a bundle is updated (using Bundle.update
method) the updated content of the bundle uses the same ID and therefore
can obtain the same data file location as the previous version of the
bundle.
Some management agents (*cough* old Eclipse Update and p2) update bundles
by first uninstalling the old version and installing a new version. This
means the new version of the bundle will have a different location and a
different Bundle ID. This has two implications on CM. First of all, it will
cause the all persistent data from the old version of CM to be lost for the
new version of CM. Second, since bundle locations change (locations are
used to bind CM configurations) the existing bindings will be reset for
bundles that are updated to new versions.

You're point about compatability of the store data is really interesting (I
think so at least).
In terms of technical details as part of the graduation work we switched
from using regular files to the frameworks ReliableFile infrastructure.
This does change the layout on disk and so is not backwards compatible with
the original File approach. As you mention this change will not work when
"updating" your bundle from the earlier approach. Once the component
graduates I would expect this storage format to be relatively stable.
In terms of a real long term solution I thinks it's inevitable that we're
going to run into "incompatible" bundle data in the CM bundle and others
and in these cases we perhaps should look at using provisioning
infrastructure.
Deployment Admin had the notion of "Customizers" to handle these sorts of
changes and this sort of thing is definitely in scope for p2.
