Hi,
I'm making an osgi/pax project, an want to replace the spring-dm web/io/core bundles with the Virgo ones.
How can I do this?
Wich dependencies must I take in order to replace 'org.springframework.osgi.web.context.support.OsgiBundleXmlWebApplicationContext' by 'org.eclipse.virgo.web.dm.ServerOsgiBundleXmlWebApplicationContext'?
I don't want to run this on the entire virgo server in order to keep PAX and continue to be server-agnostic.

Please find attached an example (spring deps are in the web-simple module and in the provision pom).
You just have to run mvn clean install + mvn pax:provision + go to localhost:8080/net.osgiliath.orthank-sample.java.web.simple_1.0.0-SNAPSHOT test the helloworld

Regards, Charlie

Unfortunately you can't just pick and choose from Virgo bundles to get specific Virgo functions. The minimal usable subset of Virgo is the Virgo kernel which is launched in a special way and hooks into Equinox to provide its function.

The p2 support planned for Virgo 3.5 may improve matters somewhat in terms of the initialisation sequence and the ability to launch Virgo like a standard Equinox application.

However, either way it seem you'll need most of Virgo Tomcat Server in order to use org.eclipse.virgo.web.dm.ServerOsgiBundleXmlWebApplicationContext.

Hi again,
thank you for your reactivity.
Being osgi platform agnostic must not have the counterpart to be web server tight.
I'm going to run my web & web-services app on Jetty...

I think I'll continue to use Spring-dm and make a specific jetty 8 extender fragment in order to load my apps, I'll be back on Virgo when it'll be possible...

Best regards, Charlie

Ok. Apart from considering using Virgo Jetty Server what some people have done is to use the Virgo kernel and configure their own choice of bundles into the user region to make a custom server. Then they get the kernel benefits: improved Spring DM diagnostics, better failure diagnostics in general, admin console and shell support, etc.
