Is it not possible to publish a service from a web bundle (is the intention only to consume a service)? I have two nearly identical sample projects setup, one is a 'regular' bundle project and the other is denoted 'web'.

I've created a published a simple service from the regular bundle, but despite many hours of attempts, I can't get the nearly identical service to publish for the web bundle. The Virgo logs aren't much help, I don't get any more information than 'Web application failed to start'.

How are you trying to publish service from web bundle?

Are you using SpringDM or getting bundleContext from ServlectContext and doing it manually?

If you can provide a bit more info, we should be able to figure it out.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm using SpringDM. I'm then attempting to publish it via a spring context configuration file:

<osgi:service ref="..." interface="..." />

I'm certainly not precluding that I've mis-configured something with my project.

This should be possible, though? I'm not violating some known constraint of a web bundle to not be able to publish services?

In web apps you really do not want spring-dm-extender to start you bundle appContext.

You want to let web app start and configure custom ApplicationContext class.

    <context-param>
        <param-name>contextClass</param-name>
        <param-value>org.eclipse.virgo.web.dm.ServerOsgiBundleXmlWebApplicationContext</param-value>
    </context-param>


    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>

Move your spring configuration files away from /META-INF/spring and define them in web.xml like you would do for a Spring MVC web-app.

Hope this helps.

Dmitry
