Scheduling of Components with DeployerComponent and Xml File

Hi,

we use the OCL Deployer to start our components via an Xml file. During our  
tests, I noticed that all components were using the ORO_SCHED_RT even though  
some were configured to use ORO_SCHED_OTHER. Our components use an non  
periodic activity.

Looking in the DeploymentComponent.cpp file I found, what I believe to be a  
bug on line 1088. Here there is a 2nd deceleration of int scheduler (first  
declared in line 1086). This means, that the value from the file (returned by  
the function 'string_to_oro_sched') has no effect because the 2nd variable  
'scheduler' goes out of scope at the end of the if-statement. Since the 1st  
'scheduler' is set to ORO_SCHED_RT by default, it is not possible to start a  
non periodic activity in ORO_SCHED_OTHER with an Xml file configuration.

By removing the 'int' in front of the 2nd 'scheduler' the code worked as  
expected.

Kind regards,
Marcello
