Is org.eclipse.update.configurator required for server-side apps? [message #110933]

Can anyone tell me if org.eclipse.update.configurator is required for war
based server-side equinox apps?

I've been trying to whitle down the list of required bundles for
server-side equinox. I'm able to run a sample Web app in an Eclipse
development using the target from eclipse-equinox-3.3.2 [1]. However, when
I create a war with this target I can't get the Web application to run
successfully unless I add the org.eclipse.update.configurator bundle. I
tried removing this bundle from my config.ini with no success. My
config.ini looks like

------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------
#Eclipse Runtime Configuration File
osgi.bundles=\
org.eclipse.equinox.common@2:start,\
org.eclipse.equinox.http.servletbridge@start,\
org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry@start,\
my.bundle@start

osgi.bundles.defaultStartLevel=4
------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------

Is there another bundle that I should start instead of
org.eclipse.update.configurator? Does my application need to initialize in
some other programmatic way?

Hi Lawrence,
You need to add everything those bundles depend on too.
e.g. org.eclipse.equinox.http.servlet, org.eclipse.equinox.registry,
org.eclipse.osgi.services

These bundles do not need to be starteded explicitly but must still be
installed via osgi.bundles if you're not going to use a configuration agent
like update.configurator and eventually p2.

If you're using tomcat or jetty or some other servlet container that gives
you easy access to stdin/stdout use the consoles "ss" and "diag" commands to
help figure out what's going on.
