sling without maven

[Torgeir Veimo <to...@pobox.com>]

Is there a writeup on what's required to integrate sling into another  
webapp in  a non maven world?

My assumption would be to first get a osgi container integrated, then  
sling and the jar files it depends on. But a step by step guide would  
be handy..

I had a look at the examples here; http://felix.apache.org/site/launching-and-embedding-apache-felix.html

The Custom Felix Loader example seems to have an error; It defined the  
configMap twice and references a configProps which is not defined. I  
assume the first definition should be of a Map configProps?

I think that would be the easiest approach.

Right, the first step is to have your webapp start an OSGi framework 
instance.

Next you have to deploy the required bundles in this framework. How you 
do this depends on how you integrate the OSGi container. If you look at 
the Sling launchpad/webapp you see, that the required bundles are just 
added to the WEB-INF/resources/bundles folder and picked up from there 
by the Sling main class which launches the Felix framework. You may 
choose to use this integration, just adapt the SlingServlet to your 
needs or rip out what you need.

Next add the bundles you need. Again, the existing Sling 
launchpad/webapp may help you here: Just use the same jar files as 
contained in that web app and you should be done.


Hope this helps as a first pointer ...
