welcome-files not loaded when using equinox servlet bridge!? [message #87203]

Hi,

I'm running my web application with OSGi bundles in a web container
(Tomcat 5.5), but I have an issue with the welcome-file-list - how can i
register welcome files to the servlet bridge?

Since the equinox BridgeServlet is the entry point to my web application,
delegating wrapped tomcat requests to my web bundles, the welcome files
defined in the web.xml can't be loaded - is there any other way to specify
them?

thx,
teos

Hi Teos,

The servletbridge exposes an OSGi HttpService which unfortunately does not
have welcome file support built in.
I think we could certainly look at doing something implementation specific
however we're very late in the current cycle for adding support, but maybe
for 3.4.

You mentioned earlier that you're registering a resource at "/". You can
build welcome-file support by instead registering your own servlet that in
addition to resource handling handles situations where welcome-file support
would normally kick-in. If you were to do this I'd recommend looking at
ResourceServlet in equinox-incubator/org.eclipse.equinox.http.helper and
consider customizing it to do what you want.
