I'm newbie in equinox and osgi. but i want to develop a simple webapp as a bundle and deploy it in the myappserver above using the http extension registry. i registered a servlet and a resources like in plugin.xml i then added this bundle to a feature and added that feature to the milli server, exported it and deployed it in jetty. but navigating to /ext/helloword.html and /ext/helloworld can't be resolved by jetty(404). i guess its just something i missed. any ideas...

i then added this bundle to a feature and added that feature to the milli server, exported it and deployed it in jetty. but navigating to /ext/helloword.html and /ext/helloworld can’t be resolved by jetty(404).

i guess its just something i missed. any ideas…

It is not perfect but might help a little bit.

I agree that OSGi is integrating with the web server world. Actually, today, most of the major app server vendors *already* use OSGi under the covers...to manage dynamic requirements of the server (e.g. bundles/versions coming and going). So in a sense, the major app server vendors are already there. To my knowledge, what the app server vendors are *not* doing (yet) is exposing the OSGi programming model (bundles and services) to webapp developers. Hello Santosh.

Do u see major app server one day can itself become a bundle and can be install/uninstall,start/stop using osgi command. After reading OSGI spec and briefly about few of the implementation like equinox, felix, i found this article very informative. It is pushing OSGI towards integrating it with the popular web world.

I've offered to contribute/update the pages on the website and wiki to use the new version of servletbridge and building with product as per https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=144612. I would recommend you join that bug and make your desires known about update on the documentation, as I do not have Equinox committer rights. Hi Alex,

However, it linked to bridge.war, which contained Eclipse 3.2 as the runtime. Would be good if that could be updated to a more recent version of Eclipse, even if using Equinox as is (rather than the servlet bridge) is recommended.

RE: web frameworks like struts, etc...yes...many of these frameworks now support being distributed as OSGi bundles. Once such frameworks are in bundle form (or can easily be put into bundle form), then they can be incorporated into the application server as described in post 2 very easily. The Orbit project at Eclipse: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/ has a number of libraries/frameworks from the Apache project and others...that have already been converted to bundles.

I'm new to the topic and just wonder how non- Eclipse web frameworks like Struts or something similar do integrate in such an infrastructure. Do you have any experiences on that? Hi Scott,

thanks a lot for this series!

In addition we tried to reuse the existing product editor for proper validation and export of war-archived equinox apps, see this <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=279743" rel="nofollow">bug</a>.
