Great news. Thanks Hristo.

Hi,
 
I just tried to add the Equinox Launcher on top of your changes. The result is that we have one more issue – simple configurator refuses to install “equinox-event” bundle, but is ok with “org.eclipse.equinox.event”.
 
Other than this the things work ok. I tested the Web distribution and we intend to add some P2 soon.

Hristo Iliev

Subject: Re: [virgo-dev] Framework hooks progress
 
The branch bug330776-framework-hooks now contains my latest working copy. All the tests including the smoke test pass. The framework hooks are re-implemented in terms of a directed graph ("digraph") of regions. Currently there are two permanent regions and one temporary region, which I'll briefly explain.
 
The permanent regions are the kernel and user region, pretty much like today except that they are defined as two nodes in the digraph connected by two arcs to do the relevant filtering. The system bundle is defined to be part of the kernel region and its packages are imported into the user region (in terms of a package filter). Later I will add the concept of importing a bundle from one region to another (the corresponding bundle filter is already there in the underlying diagraph machinery) and expose that as a user region configuration property.
 
The temporary region is simply a way of managing the bundle descriptions associated with a side-state during deployment dependency resolution and provisioning from the repository. Since these bundle descriptions do not correspond to real bundles and need deleting when we have finished with the side-state, I hive them off into their own region which is connected to the user region, and vice versa, by the most permissive filter "TOP" (pardon the lattice theory terminology. If someone can think of a more computerese term, please let me know.) Then rather than having to remove bundle id's from the user region when we have finished with the side state, we simply delete the temporary region. We have christened this temporary region a "coregion" (again we struggled to find a good term. Think of a co-pilot.)
 
Hristo: it is probably worth re-doing the merge with your branch to check the interactions again if you don't mind.
 
Borislav: you might consider doing the same on your branch as I may have introduced some extra ordering dependency without noticing.
 
Hristo/Borislav: I suggest you create a branch of your branch and then merge my branch with it for testing. That way, you will have the freedom to merge your branch into master before I am finished. Let me know if this is clear as mud.

Regards,
Glyn

Even after "reverse" merging master into the bug330776-framework-hooks branch, the branch is functionally in good shape: all the tests pass and vsh now functions correctly. The branch is pushed to master.
 
I am part way through moving the region-specific logic from the hooks into policies associated with the regions. Ultimately, I'm aiming for a directed graph of regions connected by arcs representing package, service, and perhaps bundle, import policies. This is some way off. The hard nuts to crack are how to handle alternative paths between regions (which are equivalent to a logical OR in terms of filtering) and transitive dependencies along paths (which are equivalent to a logical AND in terms of filtering). This generality is hard to visualise in the current implicit graph with only two nodes and one arc!

The console output is as follows - the addition of the user region factory bundle is the biggest change apart from the basic single framework effect on bundle id numbering and visibility:

Yesterday I got all the kernel tests passing. However, the kernel still failed to initialise when processing initialArtifacts. I discovered that the resolver hook is not driven in some situations and raised bug 333071 to request that this be implemented in Equinox.
 
Meanwhile I found a temporary workaround and the kernel now starts successfully (although the vsh command manifests some bugs which I will deal with in due course).
 
I am now going to focus on reducing the technical debt in the branch, initially by refactoring and writing unit tests. I expect to be working on the branch for the next few weeks and will merge master into the branch from time to time so I don't fall too far behind.

That test failure appears to have been due to a configuration problem in some earlier tests. One test (DeployerLogMessageTests) fails because I have not yet implemented a service registry find hook (probably an early task for next week's sprint) to provide the necessary isolation between services in one region and bundles consuming those services in the other region.
 
Then when I package and run the kernel, it fails resolving the contents of the plan referred to by the initialArtifacts user region property. This is odd as the InitialArtifactDeployer uses the deployer service which works successfully in the deployer tests. More debugging required.
 
While we are feeling jolly, this reminds me of the old chestnut:
 
Real Programmers' programs never work right the first time. But if you throw them on the machine they can be patched into working order in "only a few" 30-hour debugging sessions.
 
I think that's what you call test driven development. ;-)

Tom Watson suggested a workaround to enable the resolver hook to be driven for offline State resolutions and it seems to work. Details in bug 332771 and changes pushed to the branch.
 
Now all the kernel tests appear to pass except the last deployer test TransitiveConstraintFailureDiagnosisTests for which the JVM crashes, which usually means a heap or permgen issue. I will continue to investigate this.

My work to rebase Virgo's region support on the framework hooks was going reasonably well until I discovered that the resolver hook is not driven for resolutions in offline State objects. I have raised bug 332771 [1] against Equinox to cover this, but this bug won't be worked on until the New Year.
 
Meanwhile I have pushed my changes to the kernel branch bug330776-framework-hooks if anyone's interested. I may experiment with pruning the unwanted kernel bundles from the side state as a temporary workaround, but I don't know how well that would work as it's only an approximation to the true requirement and I haven't checked the feasibility yet.
