I installed the server-side Equinox together with Axis 2 on a Tomcat. I want
to make a web service that will run in axis2 and can find/run the osgi
services. Is there some external framework api I can use? Can I access the
exported packages in each bundle outside of the framework while in the same
jvm? I thought of building a bundle that gives away its BundleContex as
public static, but it seems more like a hack.
Greetings,
Boyan.

Communication from outside of the OSGi framework to inside any bundle is
painful because of classloading. It's easier to go the other way.
What about creating your own light service interface and service
registry outside of OSGi so that it gets loaded by the general web app
classloader? You then need to create a fragment to the system bundle
which exports the global registry packages to bundles. When bundles are
started they register with the global registry and make implementations
available to the outer web app.
For details on how to create a fragment to the system bundle have a look
at the following thread.

What I am implementing right now is a version of the ServletBridge, but for
direct access to the services. I will put the whole OSGi in the axis2
classpath, start the OSGi framework statically and call it from the axis2
web services. It worked for the ServletBridge, so it should for me.
Thanks,
Boyan.

Hi,
I took a different approach, since it seemed easier and more logical.
Instead of starting the OSGi Framework inside Axis2, I packed Axis2 in a
bundle. You can use the knopflerfish implementation:
http://www.knopflerfish.org/repo/repository.xml (search for "axis2")
Here are the src-s:
https://www.knopflerfish.org/svn/knopflerfish.org/trunk/osgi /bundles_opt/soap/axis2-osgi/
I had to make my own bundle, because of some custom axis2 feature
implemenations. I had problems with Log4j and apache.common.logging. To fix
them I simply installed the common logging bungle from knopflerfish and the
log4j plugin for eclipse. I also had some classloading issues but I fixed
them with different adapters and reseting the classloader.
Now I am building a service that acutally uses the other bundles. Will get
back to you when I get that going.
Boyan.
