Static content files outside bundle [message #926215]

Hello Experts,

I'd like to add static content (e.g. static HTML files) outside bundles into Equinox platform like adding static contents into HTTP Servers (Web Servers) without needing to package them in any jar file.
I know the following link:http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/server/http_writing_application.php but it doesn't help me because as per description there i have to add my static content into bundle file.

Is there any option for putting static content outside bundle files and access them by URL?

Your direction would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Erwin

One way would be to register an HttpServlet with the HttpService directly and pass in your own HttpContext implementation. The HttpContext interface has the following method:

org.osgi.service.http.HttpContext.getResource(String)

You can serve up any content you like using that method. The content could be included in your own bundle or from any other location you like that you can produce a URL for.

HTH

Tom.

Hello Tom,

Thank you for direction.

Your approach is programmatically.
Is there any declarative approach in Equinox?
Like the following plugin.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.0"?>
<plugin>
     <extension-point id="servlets" name="HttpService servlets" schema="schema/servlets.exsd"/>
     <extension-point id="resources" name="HttpService resources" schema="schema/resources.exsd"/>
     <extension-point id="httpcontexts" name="HttpService httpcontexts" schema="schema/httpcontexts.exsd"/>
     <extension
           id="helloServlet"
           point="org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.servlets">
        <servlet
              alias="/decl/helloworld"
              class="com.javaworld.sample.osgi.web.webapp.HelloWorldServlet">
        </servlet>
     </extension>
     <extension
           id="helloResource"
           point="org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.resources">
        <resource
              alias="/decl/helloworld.html"
              base-name="/helloworld.html"
              />
     </extension>
</plugin>

but the static content would be in any location.

Thanks,
Erwin
