Dear All,
We have 2 streams of devlopment going on concurrently:
A) Some rich editors in Eclipse (3.4)
B) Some Web apps built on top of MyFaces/JSF and packaged as War files
for more general audiences (i.e. those with just a web browser) served
via centralized servers.
The users want to be able to take the web apps with them so at the
moment we are packaging up a completely tomcat instance.
The users would like to just use Eclipse (including updating via an
internal update site etc) and someone pointed out that Eclipse comes
with OSGI/Jetty/Tomcat.
Our Webapps work fine with jetty/tomcat in a standalone setting & simply
require a file type registry entry etc and a small handler class which
would convert that to a URL and then open the browser (either within
eclipse of outside as per opening an html file).
I can find lots of help wrt taking an OSGI app and moving it to Tomcat
but precious little wrt starting with an existing War/WebApp and moving
it to OSGI & then to within Eclipse.
There are various older examples which use the embedded tomcat &
WebappManager.start()
But given we are baselining on 3.4 & given jetty/OSGI seems to have
become the standard way I would like to go that route.
So to recap:
A)Is there any tutorial for taking an exisiting web app and moving it to
OSGI?
B) Is there any tutorial for taking an OSGI web app and embedding it
within eclipse?
TIA
Adam
