Dear Equinox,
I've heard from few sources a following concern regarding deploying
Equinox on WebSphere (as well as other app servers).
Equinox works fine there, but when installing additional bundle jars,
app server detects this (new Jar in app area) and reloads whole
application context killing Equinox instance.
Is it a known issue? Does it require any special configuration of
WebSphere, or is it rather misconfiguration of Equinox?
I'm trying to be as precise as I can, but I'm not an expert in app
servers, and it's not me who faced this problem. From my understanding,
Equinox would be fine to install bundles from remote locations, eg. by
issuing "install http://x.y.z/bundle.jar" in console. Then it would
probably make a local copy of that bundle in <configuration> area, which
is hopefully out of WebSphere surveillance. Does it make sense? Or are
there better workarounds?
Thank you for your help,
Jacek

As far as I know, the latest stable Websphere isn't supporting you
toying with the Equinox instance at all really. I believe WAS will allow
you to deploy OSGi-based applications in a future version.
I could be wrong though.
However, the rumor on the street is that people have used a bundle
within WAS to start another Equinox (via EclipseStarter) and use that
one for all their personal bundles to make sure not to interfere with WAS.
Cheers,

Jacek,
I am assuming that the equinox deployment mechanism used is the Equinox
Servlet Bridge. If this is the case then there are no issues with adding
new bundles as the the OSGi working area is placed in the
WebApplications temp directory which is not monitored for file changes.
Running the Servlet Bridge in WAS 6.1 is no problem.
BTW turning on/off the monitoring of file changes is something that is
configuration per Application deployment.
