Re: [equinox-dev] Servlet API support

[BJ Hargrave <hargrave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

OSGi package versioning is working fine.

You are seeing an implementation issue with the httpservice 
implementation. It just has not (fully) implemented those methods. They 
methods are present but their implementation just throws an exception. The 
OSGi framework or JVM have not way of knowing this.

Re: [equinox-dev] Servlet API support






Simon,

I am aware the the OSGi HttpService has a minimum expectation of Servlet 
API support which is being met by the equinox service. My point is, 
however, that the OSGi versioning and dependency resolution is broken here 
since I express a dependency on the desired version but still can't find 
out until runtime that my selection of bundles was incorrect. 

Does this appear as a limitation of OSGi or is there something smarter 
that equinox can do in terms of declaring exports in its manifest?

Thanks for the jetty heads up!

Nikunj.

The org.eclipse.equinox.http bundle provides just such a minimal 
implementation and is tiny in terms of its overall size.
The trade-off is that it doesn't support the Servlet API beyond 2.1. 
Changes were put in the code so that it would still be able to resolve 
against a higher Servlet API albeit throws UnsupportedOperationExceptions 
for the use of those methods.
 
If you want an Http Service that supports Servlet 2.4 you can use the 
Jetty based implementation e.g. org.eclipse.equinox.http.jetty.
See http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/server/http_in_equinox.php (I'd 
recommend using the teamset to collect up the right dependencies)

Subject: [equinox-dev] Servlet API support

The equinox bundle org.eclipse.equinox.servlet.api_1.0.0 containing the 
servlet API says that it exports javax.servlet; version =2.3 and 
javax.servlet.http; version =2.3.

However, none of the >2.1 servlet API features work when using 
org.eclipse.equinox.http_1.0.100 bundle and result in
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: HttpService only supports servlet 
2.1 specification.

Can someone throw light on the reason behind such behavior? 

Nikunj
