web console and multiple HTTP Service
Should not there be a way to select an HTTP Service among multiple ones?
In environment supporting multiple "virtual servers [1]," an HTTPService
maps to a virtual server. In such an environment, this feature will be
useful. We can actually take a filter criteria as a configuration. Any
comments?
Thanks,

I think there should be a configuration option to select the http
services. The default value can be "all."
Thanks,

We need to make sure that the servlets (web console) is using the same
servlet api than the http service at least.
But yeah, it could register on all compatible http services.

Perfect. That's exactly what I asked for.
BTW, it is a real requirement for us who use web console in GlassFish.
We have a separate virtual server which is used for administration
purpose and I would like to deploy web console there.

To be honest, we never had the requirement and thus we just register
with whatever HTTP Service is provided by the framework.
If there are multiple services active in the framework, I could imagine
it would make sense to be able to bind to more than just a (more or
less) randomly selected one.
How about this: There is a configuration option allowing to specify a
service selection filter (used as the filter argument to the
BundleContext.getServiceReferences(String clazz, String filter)
method). If this property is not set, the console binds to all HTTP
Services available. Otherwise it binds to only the services matching the
filter - actually not binding at all if there is no matching Service.
WDYT ?

Right, but in order for what you are describing to be an issue, it
means that all vhosts are sharing a single OSGi framework. This is the
pattern I was asking about. At minimum, it seems like you should be
using nested frameworks or something like dmServer/Virgo's notion of
regions.

Looking at the code, I see WebConsole gets bound to whichever
HttpService it encounters first.
Virtual Hosts are used by many and is supported in many containers, e.g,
Tomcat, GlassFish, etc.

Re: web console and multiple HTTP Service

Actually, I would expect web console to register itself with ALL
HttpService services, but I don't know if that's the current behavior.
That said, using multiple HttpServices for virtual hosting seems like
a bad idea to me (then again, vhosts at the app tier in general seems
like a bad idea to me). Out of curiosity, is this actually done?
