[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] simpleconfigurator usage with ServletB

[andrea.zoppello@xxxxxx (Andrea Zoppello)]

Hi all,

I'm trying to find a way to use equinox as a service container both as

1) Launched as a standalone osgi container ( with eclispe launcher )
2) embedded in a web application where it's launched by the servlet bridge

In case 1) to export my system ( equinox + bunldes ) i've used a product 
definition and i've exported to the filesystem successfully.
I've seen that the exported equinox used the 
org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator bundle in the config.ini to start 
all the other bundles i've defined in profuct configuration

My problem arise when i try to use the same folder layout with the servlet 
bridge, because in that case my bundles are installed but not started 
automatically, probably this is because the 
org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator is not for use within the servlet 
bridge.

I solve the problem in case 2 using a config.ini where i list all the 
bundles without using the simple configurator, but this force me to have 
different layout and different environments for the two configurations.

Despite all the above my final goal is to have an enviroment where i could 
export my product and then decide to use standalone or embedded simply 
copyng the eclipse folder in my webapp ( and obviuosly add the servlet 
bridle stuff ).

Is this possible?? 
Thanks

Andrea
