[smila-dev] SMILA Eclipse Run Configuration - Search Servelet not workin

[Christian Weigel <christian.weigel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I am setting up the dev environment for SMILA pipelets using 
SMILA-1.0-win32.win32.x86 binary distribution and the 
SMILA-1.0-integrator-examples. Almost everything is going well so far. I 
can compile and deploy pipelet bundles at lease from within Eclipse (as 
the osgi console tells me).

Running SMILA from within Eclipse also works. Creation of indexing job 
via REST API etc. works BUT when run from Eclipse the search servelet 
does NOT work correctly:

When running the SMILA.launch - configuration there are validation 
errors (see attachment). Ignoring these SMILA still starts up and works 
as describe above but a call to

http://localhost:8080/SMILA/search

ends up with:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Servlet Not Initialized
	at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHolder.handle(ServletHolder.java:518)
	at ...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Resolving the Bundle validation errors by checking the required bundles
(after that there are 182 instead of 165 bundles) and Reloading the 
target platform wihtin Eclipse the error changes to

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at 
org.eclipse.smila.search.servlet.activator.Activator.getSolrCoreNames(Activator.java:74)
	at 
org.eclipse.smila.search.servlet.SMILASearchServlet.appendIndexList(SMILASearchServlet.java:278)
	at 
org.eclipse.smila.search.servlet.SMILASearchServlet.processRequest(SMILASearchServlet.java:179)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So the servlet seems to work now but some of the required solr/lucene 
bundles still seem to be missing. I tried to manually activate some of 
them via OSGI console but with no success so far.

Could someone possibly provide a launch configuration that

a) resolves the validation errors
b) contains and starts up required bundles in order to use the search 
servelet

when starting SMILA 1.0 from within Eclipse.

Thank you and best regards,
