info on running HTTP Service? [message #55812]

Hi,
I am getting started with equinox. I started the console using the info
in the "Getting Started" doc.

I connect to the Eclipse CVS and imported the HTTP Service. From
Eclipse, I exported it as a jar and then installed manually using the
console "install" and "start" commands. "Status" shows it is ACTIVE. But
now what?

It looks to me like a tomcat is expected....

Is there any info available to help a newbie like me in getting the http
service running?

Thanks,
y

Is there some kind of error message or what do you mean? I have not used
this service myself but checking if port 80 is up seems reasonable to
determine if the service is operable.

There is no error message and there is no additional listening port
after I start the service. Therefore no truly active http service.

In Eclipse, one sees plugin dependencies on the Eclipse 3.1 tomcat
plugin. Hence I must also install this Eclipse plugion in my OSGi
environment? And I want a "pure" OSGi environment, what is recommended?
Construct a OSGi tomcat bundle?

Thanks, Y

I do not know anything about this so I hope someone else shed some light
on this issue.

The plugin dependencies irritate me too as they seem not to be used (no
imported packages/required bundles) and the plugin seems to implement a
server itself. I wild guess is to simple use it. Although the start method
of the plugin seems to start the server imidiately, maybe some kind of
lazy loading is in effect so register a servlet and look what happens. But
you have done this I assume.

The http service just needs access to the javax.servlet package and you're
seeing tomcat mentioned because PDE is matching up the import from
org.eclipse.tomcat.

For a minimal OSGi environment all you really need is the contents of
servlet.jar in it's own bundle. This is currently up for consideration see
bug 121585.

For the time being you might do it yourself create and use a new plugin-in
project based on the servlet.jar contents.
(e.g. new->project and then Plugin-Development->Plug-in from existing jar)

In terms of a working service I can confirm that the httpservice works
when running on top of 3.2M4. By default it listens on port 80 and is not
lazy in terms of waiting for resources and servlets to be registered.

Hope this helps.

The latest equinox integration releases includes Servlet API bundles.

And how can I change the default port without the Config Admin service? It
tries to bind to port 80 without luck in Linux. The OSGi reference talks
about using org.osgi.service.http.port and org.osgi.http.port.secure OSGi
environment properties, but I don't know if they are normal environment
properties.

Hi Gustavo,

Setting "org.osgi.service.http.port" (e.g. -Dxxx or as a System property)
to a value other than 80 is supported for the Equinox HttpService.

It worked, thanks! On Eclipse 3.2M4, it worked using -D argument under
Arguments tab, but not using Environment tab in Run dialog. Should I post
a bug for this?
