Re: [virgo-dev] Framework hooks progress

Hi Glyn, 

Actually there are no bundles using the DS bundles directly. The bundles just provide xml files that declare this bundle has a DS component. When the DS bundles start, simply put, they browse all started bundles for such xmls, described in the manifests and start listening for bundle-started events in order to activate every newcomer as well. That means that DS are not a service that you can export, they are not a list of packages either - in order to work they just have to *see* the bundles in the framework they are in at the moment. 

After the DS components are read and processed by the DS bundles an OSGi service is published where needed (e.g. the DS component declared it provides a service).

IMO the DS should be somehow present in both user and the kernel region as they both has DS components that are independent of the other region's.
Basically this is needed mostly for the agent.dm bundle - it declares two DS components. Since that bundle is present in both regions i think its supposed to have its DS components in both regions not as shared(cross-region?) DS components but as new ones per region.
I imagine this as enabling the installation in both regions, currently installing DS in the user region fails in Quasi resolving stage with the error that:

[2011-02-04 17:05:20.772] OSGi Console  <DE0002E> Installation of bundle 'org.eclipse.equinox.ds' version '1.2.100.v20101206' failed. org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.osgi.framework.UnableToSatisfyBundleDependenciesException: Unable to satisfy dependencies of bundle 'org.eclipse.equinox.ds' at version '1.2.100.v20101206': Cannot resolve: org.eclipse.equinox.ds

at org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.install.pipeline.internal.CompensatingPipeline.doProcessTree(CompensatingPipeline.java:72)
...........

As for the question if any package exports are needed, every bundle that declares it has DS components contains also a class with activate and deactivate methods. This class is specified as the implementation class for the DS component. Usually such classes use activate and deactivate with one argument of type org.osgi.service.component.ComponentContext. So the bundle containing this class imports org.osgi.service.component, which is exported from the DS bundles.

BTW you can sync my dev branch bug333474-DS-remove-startup-order - i've merged it with the framework-hooks branch and experiment on top of it.
I hope this clears the mud a bit :)

Hi Borislav

I'd like to understand the DS dependencies better. I want to avoid the hooks having to special case DS.

Do bundles using DS simply need to wire to certain DS packages or do they need to see anything else (such as DS bundles or, very unlikely, services)?

The more complex issue seems to be DS's need to see the DS components in the user region. What visibility is required? If DS needs to see bundle events, that would cause problems (because Spring DM running in the kernel region would process application contexts in the user region).

For Spring DM we run separate copies in the kernel and user regions so the user can change the version of Spring in the user region, but that seems overkill for DS.

I suspect we may need to put DS in its own region and connect it to/from both the kernel and user region with appropriate filters...

Glyn

Hi,

I merged bug330706-framework-hooks into my dev branch and encountered some problems. The kernel starts normally only when lib/kernel/org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.userregionfactory is the last bundle described in the launcher.properties, so this is kind of a new startup dependency. When i placed it around the half of the list of kernel bundles it hanged in STARTING state leaving the kernel frozen. Apart from that there are no other new dependencies, but we'll have to see if there is a solution for userregion.factory.
The user region however fails to start everytime - now there is only one framework but a set of bundles that should be available for both regions (such are the DS bundles) it is kind of problematic when they are singletons. I tried several approaches to workaround the issue, first i moved their declaration from the userregion plan to the kernelshadow plan - at first i though it had some special handling that might help - it works as regular plan, so that didn't solve the issue. Then i removed them from the plans and placed them in the userregion launcher properties located in config. That hanged the deployer, shell and the model bundle in the kernel with errors that they are wating for services - here is the snippet:

So this also wasn't a solution. I guess the hooks will have to be modified in some way to allow the DS bundles to be visible for resolving in the user region and also expose the user region to the DS bundles as they have to process the DS components located inside the user region (such is the agent.dm bundle, that is present both in the kernel and the user region and has two DS components). That could lead to some complications as it basically means that the DS components will become cross-region artifacts. We'll have to look deeper in this matter.

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.

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.

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!

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. ;-)

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.
