Richard S. Hall commented on FELIX-2895:
----------------------------------------

Perhaps I'm missing something, but Bundle.getResource() also searches fragments. The main difference is that it has to be reachable from the bundle class path, where findEntries() allows you to search in other places too.

> The current version of SCR will use the API method getResource() to get the service component descriptor if the Service-Component header does not contain a wildcard. This precludes the discovery of DS components in attached fragment bundles. From the DS spec:
> Section 112.4:
> Component descriptions are defined in XML documents contained in a bundle
> and any attached fragments.
> Section 112.4.1:
> The last component of each path in the Service-Component header may use
> wildcards so that Bundle.findEntries can be used to locate the XML document
> within the bundle and its fragments....
> A Service-Component manifest header specified in a fragment is ignored by
> SCR. However, XML documents referenced by a bundle's Service-Component
> Note the use of the word "may" in the first sentence. It does not say that findEntries() should/must *only* be used if there's a wildcard.
> As such, I believe this is within the spec, albeit not backwards compatible which is why I'm proposing to use a framework property.
