             Summary: Struts2 OSGi plugin does not work with GlassFish
                 Key: WW-3958
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-3958
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Other
    Affects Versions: 2.3.1
         Environment: GlassFish 3.1.2.2
            Reporter: Christina Kaskoura


The OSGi plugin does not work with GlassFish where Felix is already included. When including in the Struts web application a bundle containing an activator class the following exception occurs:

java.lang.ClassCastException: myosgi.Activator cannot be cast to org.osgi.framework.BundleActivator

while when including a bundle with a class which implements BundleContextAware the following exception occurs:

Exception starting filter struts2 java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation: loader (instance of org/apache/felix/framework/searchpolicy/ContentClassLoader) previously initiated loading for a different type with name "org/osgi/framework/BundleContext"

It also seems that the plugin uses an old version of Felix which could be (at least partly) responsible for the errors since GlassFish uses a newer one.

More details on the errors also available in [this stackoverflow post|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14200300/using-struts2-osgi-plugin-with-glassfish]
