DS ignores service.ranking? [message #890734] Fri, 22 June 2012 23:40 Go to next message

Scenario: three components
* A1 - component providing service for interface A - no service.ranking specified
* A2 - component providing service for interface A - service.ranking=1
* B - component referencing A (static, 1..1)
Now start the framework... (all three bundles on the same startlevel).

Expected behaviour: Since there are two implementations for A available, I would guess that A2 gets bound to B since it has the higher service.ranking.

Observed behaviour: A1 is assigned to B.

Already tried:
* Explicitely assign service.ranking=0 to A1 (the default value).
No change.
* Put A1 on enabled=false.
This correctly causes B to be bound to A2.
* Change start-level of bundle containing A2 to be lower (sooner) than A1.
This 'fixes' the issue: B now gets bound to A2 instead of A1.
? This is not what I expect !
Looks as if service.ranking is ignored and lowest service PID is being used.

Potentially involved additional settings:
* I added the service.ranking on the component's properties.
I guessed (didn't find it in the doc) that this automatically forwards the service.ranking to the service's properties. Verified it using 'services' on console and it seems to be ok.
* All components are on 'immediate=true' and 'enabled=true'.


Would this 'immediate' cause the DS to assign the first service that it already has available in active bundles? This is not the behaviour that I would expect from reading the spec...

Thanks,
Johan

Johan,

can you check the definition of the service.ranking property in the
component xml? I remember a similar situation in the past I was
scratching my head on. It turned out that I missed declaring the
property as type "Integer". Thus, it was registered as String which is
the wrong type and thus being ignored as a ranking value.

Hi Gunnar,

Thanks for your suggestion.
I took the typing into account.
This is the xml component definition:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<scr:component xmlns:scr="-correct url-" enabled="true" immediate="true" name="com.acme.a2.MockA2">
   <implementation class="com.acme.a2.MockA2"/>
   <service>
      <provide interface="com.acme.a.A"/>
   </service>
   <property name="service.ranking" type="Integer" value="1"/>
</scr:component>


(Manually changed xmlns:src because posting links wasn't allowed.)

Hmmm strange... After quite some trying, I discovered that the issue is linked to the selection of target bundles that I select for my run.
* Works fine if I select all target bundles (default Eclipse 3.7.2).
Well, since I run it as an OSGi framework, it complains about a lot, but at least DS behaves normally.
* Works incorrectly when I limit my target bundles to (see below):
org.eclipse.equinox.ds (1.3.1)
org.eclipse.equinox.util (1.0.300)
org.eclipse.osgi (3.7.2)
org.eclipse.osgi.services (3.3.0)

With the second selection, it behaves strange:
* DS seems to work fine for a first run in an empty workspace.
It correctly respects the service.ranking.
* If you subsequently change your service.ranking, every change is ignored.
Cleaning the workspace (-clean or the checkmark in the run configuration) doesn't help.
Removing the .metadata directory makes it work fine (again only once).

Take a look at the attachment dsTest.zip:
* Just import all projects in a freshly extracted eclipse-modeling-indigo-SR2-win32.zip.
* Runtime/dsTestFull.launch: seems to work fine (full target selected)
* Runtime/dsTestLimited.launch: fails as indicated.

Just look for the first line appearing in the console. It shows the service that gets bound in BImpl. It will be A1 or A2 depending on their service.ranking.

Anybody who can explain this behavior?
Am I missing some bundles that take care of .metadata cleanup between runs? Don't know about such a thing.
For me it looks a lot like a bug...

Hi all,

I tried today with the new Eclipse Juno, hoping that this would behave differently.
Unfortunately, I don't see a better behaviour.

Anybody who can explain the following console session?
The first line is printed by the bindA method of my service B that required an implementation for A.
You see that A2 (ranking 2) gets bound instead of A1 (ranking 3).
I must be missing something, cause DS is used extensively...

It may be a result of activation order. I noticed that you use policy
"static" in the dependency with cardinality "1..". I think that in this
case the component is not re-bound to a newer service as long as the old
is still available.

Did you try with a dynamic policy?

Hi Gunnar,

Once again thanks for your feedback.

Without being an expert on DS, I dare to disagree with you Smile
I agree that mentioning "static" causes my component B not to be re-bound unless the original binding becomes invalid (e.g. service disappeared).
Registering a service with a higher service.ranking afterwards, will not break the previous binding.

To my understanding, the original binding should be respecting the service.ranking, though.
On one and the same start-level, I have two service-candidates with specific service.ranking.
The DS should then make a choice according to the spec and not just chose the first one that accidently is encountered...

To validate this, I tried your suggestion by making the binding in B dynamic.
Unfortunately, this didn't change the behaviour.

Based on my experiments, I'm convinced by now that it is just a very annoying tooling issue.

Maybe someone could try and follow these steps below, see whether you encounter the same:
* Use Eclipse Juno (I use the modeling 32-bit version).
* Start it in an empty workspace.
* Import the projects from my dsTestJuno.zip except for com.acme.A2.
* Now right-click on Runtime/dsTestRun.launch and run it in debugging.
* The first line in the console should state that B is bound to A1 (of course, there is no A2).
* Then also import the A2 project.
* Run again in the same way.
* Using the settings in the archive (A1 and A2 on service.ranking 6 and 5 respectively), A1 should remain the chosen one.
* If it does, try playing a bit with the rankings of A1 and A2 and every time run again.
* I don't see any regularity: sometimes works, sometimes not.
* Restarting Eclipse can suddenly produce another result.

If you would have a clue...

Johan

This attachment contains the Juno version of the launch (other required bundles).

Well, DS (the implementation as well as the tooling) still surprises me
once in a while... and I haven't memorized the spec. I usually fall back
to a trial and error mode when analyzing DS problems.
> To my understanding, the original binding should be respecting the service.ranking, though.

So the start-level doesn't say anything about activation order within
the same level. Timing issues are possible. For example, it is possible
that the bundle providing the service with the lower ranking is
activated before the other bundle. The DS implementation listens for
events and might immediately start creating the component when the first
bundle was activated because all dependencies are satisfied. The DS
implementation can't predict the future and doesn't know anything about
bundles with services yet to be activated.

Here is another thing you can try. Instead of activating all bundles and
components right away you could use lazy activation for bundles A1 and
A2. This might help. But I really wonder why dynamic doesn't do the
trick. Maybe even a "dynamic 1..1" won't change an already established
binding.

BTW, I use multiple service implementations with service ranking in my
RT tutorial. But I haven't encountered the issue so far.

Ouh, thank you so much. This solved my "ranking problem" I experienced using osgi 3.10.
I did not get rid of that new ExtendedLogService for using my own. Thanks to ranking, I have kicked it out, now.

Integer - that's it!

I solved this issue by specifiying ReferencePolicyOption.Greedy

e.g.:
@Reference(policy = ReferencePolicy.DYNAMIC, cardinality = ReferenceCardinality.MANDATORY, policyOption = ReferencePolicyOption.GREEDY)

The greedy policy option is a valid policy option for both static and dynamic reference policies. When a new target service for a reference becomes available, references having the greedy policy option will bind the new target service.
