In preparation for a CXF-DOSGi release, I started looking into re-enabling some discovery roundtrip tests that I never quite finished some time ago.
The tests currently run within a single OSGi framework where they try to force going through discovery by specifying service.imported=* on the ServiceTracker in the client. There is a problem with this testing approach, however. The remote discovery code excludes looking in discovery for services coming from the current framework - by specifying !(endpoint.framework.uuid=the_current_framework_uuid). I think this is actually the right behaviour for the discovery code. So... this kind of functionality can only really properly be tested if you have multiple frameworks. Unfortunately Pax-Exam currently doesn't support that, but apparently that's planned for Pax-Exam 2. Fortunately this functionality is actually already tested by the OSGi TCK test suites for Remote Services and Remote Service Admin, so we have coverage there... Therefore I would like to propose to postpone re-enabling this system test until we can use Pax-Exam to launch multiple frameworks for us. Everyone ok with this? Cheers, David
