Hi,

i try to run an equinox runtime within WebSphere Application Server.

I followed the equinox tutorial and i created a WAR file including my
bundles. I deployed this file and all my bundles started (i want to run
a microbroker within the application server).

Now i want to integrate knopflerfish http-console for advanced managing
functionality (starting/stopping bundles) but it does not work.

So what are the tasks to integrate this in my WAR archive? And how can i
access this http-console?

Many thanks in advance!!!

"advanced managing" ;) -- the regular osgi console is a lot more powerful,
if a little less attractive.

Can you give a bit more info here.
First, are you seeing the kconsole bundle starting correctly in the regular
console?
Which version of the bundle are you using?

I ask because I know the version maintained at KF uses absolute URLs and
depend on an Http Service that registers resources at the root.
In a servlet container you're generally operating in a context so it might
take a little work to get the console working under the servletbridge.
A few years ago I made some changes to use relative URLs however i don't
believe they are incorporated in the KF release and the changes are not
formally maintained.
The right way to do this would be to chase this down and get the KF guys to
correct this.

An wasy workaround is to install the bridge webapp in the "root" context or
using the embedded Jetty Http Service that's included in 3.3 until you're
comfortable looking at making the changes yourself in the KF console.

Adding any bundle should just be a matter of dropping it in the plugins
folder and either start it manually in the console or add an entry in your
config.ini to start it automatically.
