Description
Start with a fresh Karaf 4.1.0-SNAPSHOT installation and validate that felix.fileinstall.enableConfigSave = true is set.
Scenario:
- Create a factory configuration.
- Update the configuration.
Result:
The configuration gets updated, but a new configuration with another incorrect service.factoryPid gets created:
Steps to reproduce:
karaf@root()> config:edit --factory com.example.TestConfig karaf@root()> config:property-set A B karaf@root()> config:update karaf@root()> config:list '(service.factoryPid=com.example.TestConfig*)' ---------------------------------------------------------------- Pid: com.example.TestConfig.8d22975e-3cb3-477c-985d-7c1a1d9f98af FactoryPid: com.example.TestConfig BundleLocation: null Properties: A = B service.factoryPid = com.example.TestConfig service.pid = com.example.TestConfig.8d22975e-3cb3-477c-985d-7c1a1d9f98af karaf@root()> config:edit com.example.TestConfig.8d22975e-3cb3-477c-985d-7c1a1d9f98af karaf@root()> config:property-set A C karaf@root()> config:update karaf@root()> config:list '(service.factoryPid=com.example.TestConfig*)' ---------------------------------------------------------------- Pid: com.example.TestConfig.8d22975e-3cb3-477c-985d-7c1a1d9f98af FactoryPid: com.example.TestConfig BundleLocation: null Properties: A = C service.factoryPid = com.example.TestConfig service.pid = com.example.TestConfig.8d22975e-3cb3-477c-985d-7c1a1d9f98af ---------------------------------------------------------------- Pid: com.example.TestConfig.8d22975e.22055df0-4a85-4b87-94c6-7787cd84a8e5 FactoryPid: com.example.TestConfig.8d22975e BundleLocation: null Properties: A = C felix.fileinstall.filename = file:/opt/apache-karaf-4.1.0-SNAPSHOT/etc/com.example.TestConfig.8d22975e-3cb3-477c-985d-7c1a1d9f98af.cfg service.factoryPid = com.example.TestConfig.8d22975e service.pid = com.example.TestConfig.8d22975e.22055df0-4a85-4b87-94c6-7787cd84a8e5 karaf@root()> config:list '(service.factoryPid=com.example.TestConfigd*)'
I think that there is a problem with fileinstall and hyphen handling. The string before the hyphen is interpreted as factoryPid resulting in "com.example.TestConfig.8d22975e". Fileinstall tries to find the existing configuration using the key "felix.fileinstall.filename" which is not set by "ConfigRepositoryImpl".
Solution:
I am not sure, but I think, that in the "update"-method of "ConfigRepositoryImpl", the "felix.fileinstall.filename"-property has to be set explicitly and that an alias has be used that does not contain a hyphen.
It would be nice to add an "-alias" option to the command "config:edit" that allows a user to specify the alias that gets used for the factory configuration. Unfortunately, the alias does not get used when the configuration gets created for the first time. Only its update leads to a file creation that gets considered by Fileinstall.
What are your thoughts?
