Interface DeploymentSession

public interface DeploymentSession

The session interface represents a currently running deployment session (install/update/uninstall).

When a deployment package is installed the target package, when uninstalled the source package is an empty deployment package. The empty deployment package is a virtual entity it doesn't appear for the outside world. It is only visible on the DeploymentSession interface used by Resource Processors. Although the empty package is only visible for Resource Processors it has the following characteristics:

• has version 0.0.0
• its name is an empty string
• it is stale
• it has no bundles (see DeploymentPackage.getBundle(String))
• it has no resources (see DeploymentPackage.getResources())
• it has no headers except
  • DeploymentPackage-SymbolicName and
  • DeploymentPackage-Version
  (see DeploymentPackage.getHeader(String))
• it has no resource headers (see DeploymentPackage.getResourceHeader(String, String))
• DeploymentPackage.uninstall() throws IllegalStateException
• DeploymentPackage.uninstallForced() throws IllegalStateException
