Re: [equinox-dev] Location of Persistent UserAdmin Data

BJ's answer is correct from an OSGi spec standpoint, but there are Eclipse
considerations which are relavant to Benjamin's questions. See
http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=124176#c10.
In summary bundle ids do not change between framework launches, but if you
update a bundle using Eclipse update it actually uninstalls the old version
and installs the new version, resulting in a new bundle id. This was an
issue with the OSGi Prefs implementation. In the end we just documented it
as a known limitation.

Bundle ids cannot change between framework launches. The bundle id is the
primary key of the bundle and may not change or ever be reused within a
framework instance.

[equinox-dev] Location of Persistent UserAdmin Data
Equinox Developers,
I've been developing a user/group admin bundle that runs on top of the
Equinox OSGi UserAdmin service implementation, and I've noticed that data
is persisted to a file that is named like so:
"org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences.OSGiPreferences." +
bundle.getBundleId()
So the actual file name might end up being something like:
"org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences.OSGiPreferences.27.prefs"
Since a bundle's id can change between framework starts and stops, users
and roles created by a given bundle during one execution of the framework
won't necessarily be available to that bundle in another execution of the
framework ( i.e. since bundle id can vary across runs).
Should a bundle have to re-create user and role assignments on every start
of the framework if persistent data can't be located? That doesn't seem
right to me.
It could be that user admin data can be persisted to a static (known
before runtime) location via the Equinox UserAdmin impl, but it's not
clear to me how this should be done.
