Re: [jetty-users] Version in Eclipse

[Hugues Malphettes <hmalphettes@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Aurelien,

Interesting post.
It describes the idea behind the jetty-osgi integration: we do
something similar where the server is configured from a jetty.xml and
there is some extra glue into the OSGi lifecycle.
For example a bundle with the Context-Path header will be tracked and
deployed as a web-application.
Deploying or undeploying that bundle will deploy or undeploy the
corresponding webapp.
We also support using an OSGi service: register a ContextHandler to
deploy it via OSGi. Doing this gives you finer control over when you
want to deploy the webapp as it is not tied to the lifecycle of a
bundle.
Also the jetty-osgi integration takes care of JSP and provides the
ability to support legacy webapps.

On the provisioning side: Jetty provides to Helios a feature in the
category "RT Target Platform".
You could add it to your RCP platform and get jetty-7 with the
jetty-osgi bundles. You could either use your code or the jetty setup
for OSGi.
Jetty also contributes another feature to add PDE support for JUnit
into a new Target Platform.

I am really tied up polishing these things and so documentation about
this is lacking to say the least.
We will catch up on that front when Helios is out.

Let us know if we are missing on something else.

Best,
Hugues
