Folks;
so far I've been using the webappBuilder.xml script in order to get our
application packaged to a .war file and deployed to some app server (running
tomcat at the moment, exporting it as an Eclipse installation using jetty
unfortunately is no option as the target platform is a Sun/Solaris x86
machine which obviously so far is not supported by core Eclipse components
like the Equinox launcher). For what I see, most of this works pretty well,
except for one thing: I see that
org.eclipse.update.configurator@start in config.ini
is responsible for starting the plugins that come with the .war'ed RAP
application. So to ask: Are there any limitations to this approach? In our
environment in example, our RAP app contains Equinox DS and some loosely
coupled services which never seem to be started at all except for
explicitely listing them in config.ini manually, which, as I do had to learn
by now, is a horrid pain even given a small application, as I somehow never
managed to get them started the right order... Is there a way of getting out
of this mess?
TIA and all the best,
Kristian

Kristian,
the preferred way is not to use update.configurator but instead
specify all bundles in the config.ini.
Don't forget to list the
org.eclipse.equinox.servletbridge.extensionbundle fragment. It is
generated by the servlet bridge and as far as I recall the reason
why using update.configurator does not work reliably.
Do you specify the start level explicitly? Try it without doing so.
Equinox should resolve the bundles in the right order. I doubt that
DS have extra requirements regarding the start order, though I don't
know for sure. What exactly isn't resolved?

Using config.ini along with the somewhat arcane ConfigIniCreator class
provided by the demo.feature project seems to have resolved most of my
problems and indeed makes my application deploy and start correctly again.
Thanks for the pointers on that, much appreciated. :)
Cheers,
Kristian
(still hoping for a pain-free way of deploying RAP applications one day...)
