Equinox inside a servlet container [message #86527]

One of things I'm still trying to understand about equinox is, if it
supposed to work inside servlet container.

I ask this because it seems to me that a lot of people is asking how to
do it and the solution to it isn't quite that simple.

So is it or isn't it equinox supposed o work inside an application
server like tomcat or jboss. What could be the advantages of doing this?

Thanks,
Pedro Silva

Hi Pedro,

Equinox can be embedded in any Java program and that defintiely includes
servlet containers.

Take a look here --
http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/server/http_in_container.php
There's a lot of more general information on server-side Equinox here --

Yes, as far as I know the Equinox Servletbridge works in all application
servers

The main advantage is that OSGi provides a pretty good story for building up
your components. There's also an excellent possibility that you'll be able
to re-use components from your rich client server-side and vice-versa.
