Great article! Thanks.
I guess you changed the code in Activator. Anyway if I just change absolute path to relative I get an exception when I try to start the bundle. Id be very gratefull if you can send me your corrections.

Excellent tutorial! Thank you. Quick question, is it necessary to run Equinox OSGi in a servlet container application? We have developed an application that simply moves files around using Spring Integration and we would prefer not using Spring dm, Tomcat, etc. Can it be done?

Is there a way to accomplish the same console-based provisioning steps using the p2 director application? That would allow for finer-grained control + uninstalls.

Hi Santosh. For the moment, I don’t feel comfortable redistributing the changes that I made to the knoplerfish servlet (just some absolute to relative path changes), because I haven’t gotten any approval for doing this from the knopplerfish folks. So for the moment, I’ll just direct you to https://www.knopflerfish.org/svn/knopflerfish.org/trunk/osgi/bundles/http/httpconsole/readme.html to get the original knopflerfish code…and I will be happy to guide you through the necessary changes. And I will try to get a hold of the knoplerfish committers and offer to contribute the changes back.

Hello Udo.

RE: the knopflerfish repo…I got it from http://www.knopflerfish.org/ and created a repository myself after making small modifications to the httpconsole servlet. The modifications were necessary because in the existing servlet were several hard-coded URL paths, that did not work in a new context. I then created a repo using the p2 repo-creation tools. Since I am not on the knopflerfish team, I do not feel comfortable redistributing this code, although I would happily contribute the changes back to the knoplerfish team if they so desire.

Where do I get the knopflerfish repository from? How do I install it?

Hi Frederic,

I don’t plan to describe provisioning through Maven repos, as Maven isn’t an EclipseRT technology (and I’m focusing on EclipseRT technologies for this series). However, if you or others do a posting on it, I will be happy to link to it.

Please just let me know.
