RE: [equinox-dev] Configuration Admin Question

Hi Neil,

Thank for your answer, it was very helpful for me. Just this was what I did not understand, thanks very much.

I have another question, when is the method updated(String, Dictionary) of MSF called, is it called by event, or do I have to do it when I wish to get another instance for my second device?

Thanks in advance

Regards

David

David,

Yes it sounds like Config Admin with a ManagedServiceFactory (MSF) may
fit your requirements.

I agree that Config Admin is difficult to understand -- I struggled
with it initially as well. I think that the key to understanding MSFs
is that you do not control the PID. You call
createFactoryConfiguration() with the FactoryPID, and a PID is
generated for you by the Config Admin implementation bundle. If you
later need the PID then you have to get it from the Configuration
object returned to you from createFactoryConfiguration().

Hope that helps,
Neil
