How to update configuration from maven after feature is installed?

[henrique.viecili]

Hi,

I am deploying this feature with configfile:

<feature name="my-feature">
 <configfile finalname="/etc/com.my.feature.cfg" override="true">mvn:com.feature/my-feature/${project.version}/cfg/com.my.feature</configfile>
 <bundle>mvn:com.feature/my-feature/${project.version}</bundle>
</feature>

and, once the feature is installed, how should I subsequently override the whole configuration with a new set of properties?

I've tried to execute osgi:update and also to re-install the feature (feature:install), but the configuration remains the same.

Hi,

You need remove

override="true"

from the configuration, otherwise features:install will always copy mvn:com.feature/my-feature/${project.version}/cfg/com.my.feature to override the etc/com.my.feature.cfg which you modified.

ffang, that's exactly what I want.

I would like to update/override the configuration every time I run features:install or osgi:update on an already-installed feature/bundle. I've tried with both commands, but it didn't work.

As I said,  remove

override="true"

and use

configure:...

command from console or directly edit the etc/com.my.feature.cfg, then both features:install and osgi:update|refresh can pick up the new configuration.

(step by step, considering my-feature is already installed and etc/com.my.feature.cfg exists)

1. I removed override="true" from my features file and deployed it to maven (mvn:com.feature/my-feature/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/xml/features)
2. features:refreshurl
3. updated the configuration file and deployed it to maven (mvn:com.feature/my-feature/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/cfg/com.my.feature)
4. osgi:update my-feature

Result: the bundle is updated but the properties DO NOT change to the new values. (tried with and without override="true", it makes no difference)

PS.: The objective behind this is to automate the deployment of bundles and their configurations from Jenkins.
