I'm trying to deploy simple web OSGI bundle, with simple HttpServlet on virgo-tomcat-server-3.0.0.M04 (you can find the project in the attachment).

The servlet is defined inside the web.xml file in following way:
<web-app>
	<display-name>Servlet_Test</display-name>
	<description>Servlet Test</description>
	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>welcomeServlet</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>com.test.web.simple.servlet.WelcomeServlet</servlet-class>
	</servlet>
	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>welcomeServlet</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>/welcomeServlet</url-pattern>
	</servlet-mapping>
	<session-config>
		<session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
	</session-config>
</web-app>


When I call the servlet I'm getting following error.
[b]HTTP Status 500 - [/b]
...
javax.servlet.ServletException: Wrapper cannot find servlet class com.test.web.simple.servlet.WelcomeServlet or a class it depends on

Note that servlet class specified in web.xml is correct.
What am i doing wrong? I it possible to expose the servlet in the way I'm doing.

Thanks in advance

Try putting your binaries in /WEB-INF/classes

/WEB-INF/classes/com/test/web/simple/servlet/WelcomeServlet.class

Thanks, this solution is working... but does it make sense?

Let's take scenario:
Bundle A: contains the HttpServlet implementation (but does not expose it)
Bundle B: imports the servlet but is not able to expose that via web.xml!

I thought that virgo's osgi based approach should allow me to do that... Any thoughts.

It has nothing to do with OSGI. Web Archives (WARs), by default, have a classpath of "./WEB-INF/classes,./WEB-INF/lib"

You can force your the container to look for your classes at the root of your WAR (if you so desire) by setting the "Bundle-ClassPath" in the MANIFEST.MF to "Bundle-ClassPath: ." Personally, however, I wouldn't. It's expected in a WAR that the WEB-INF/classes be the location of your compiled class files.

And in your example, if BundleA contains HttpServlet but doesn't expose it, BundleB can't see it to use it. BundleA needs to export it if BundleB is going to import it.

Thanks Ryan,

"Bundle-ClassPath: ." is what i was looking for. So the part I was missing is that the web components primarily are treated as WAR deployables not as OSGI bundles. As far as i know the default class path for osgi bindles is ".".

Thanks Again

In my (limited) experience and opinion, the WAR could be considered a Web Bundle. You can still import/export bundles/packages and use services exported by other bundles, all from within the WAR. That's how my prototype works right now. My WAR is VERY small. It's simply URL mappings. The services that support the URL mappings are OSGI bundles that export their services to the WAR. This way I can deploy patches to the services without restarting the WAR.

Glad you got it working!
