[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] Jboss + servletbridge + equinox + jsp

[scotthamilton77@xxxxxxxxx (Scott Hamilton)]

Hello,

Really new to osgi/equinox, and trying to get a prototype web application 
working on jboss 4.2.1.

I'm trying to get the jsp sample project working against jboss 4.2.1 using 
the servletbridge.  After piecing together the dependencies (hopefully 
correctly) one by one to get the bundle to start, I have finally achieved 
the following, but have some problems still that are as yet still baffling 
me:

1. Log4j throws an exception on startup that does not prevent bundle 
starting.

At first, the problem was a class not found exception on the 
org.apache.log4j.Category.  I resolved this by creating a fragment to 
attach to the org.apache.commons.logging bundle to import 
org.apache.log4j.  This cleared up that exception quite nicely.  (I also 
included the log4j bundle in the deployment.)

However, that just led me to the next problem: a ClassNotFoundException 
looking for org.jboss.logging.appender.FileAppender.

This seems odd to me - why would log4j be looking for a jboss FileAppender 
in the equinox platform?  Since I am loading my own log4j bundle and none 
of the jboss stuff is being exported using the extendedFrameworkExports 
web.xml setting, shouldn't all of jboss's logging (classes + config) be 
invisible to the osgi platform?

2.  The JSPs show almost correctly but all scriptlet and JSP tag stuff 
doesn't get processed at all.  In other words, the sample JSPs (a) compile 
and (b) render as HTML but anywhere there is something "JSP-ish" I just 
get nothing.  No errors on the console, and no output on in the HTML 
stream.

What might I be missing here?

Really grateful for any help or direction!

Thanks,
Scott
