RFC66 - WebContainer service
Hi.
First off I would like to give my support to the Aries project. I think it
is a really needed project. Looked at some of the talks about RFC66
(WebContainer) and my understanding is that you will need some sort of WAR
deployer in Aries? Have been working on a RFC66 implementation that can run
on any OSGi HttpService. This is around 95% feature complete (except for
session management) right now. Every web applicaiton deployed is added to
the HttpService as a servlet where alias = context-path. I am not sure if
this implementation belongs to Felix or Aries.
What do you guys think?
BR,
Sten Roger Sandvik

Hi.
Glad you think this is interesting. I have some code here and there now. In
the next couple of days I will consolidate the code into one place -
probably some svn sandbox on apache.

Hi Sten,
That sounds really interesting to me. As you can see from the Aries
proposal, there are already plans to provide a URL handler that can turn web
applications into RFC 66 WABs (Web Application Bundles). The main difference
between a WAB and a WAR is a number of headers in the MANIFEST.MF.
The deployment model of RFC 66 is such a WAB file and Aries doesn't yet
cater for an extender that understands these WAB files, so I think your
proposed component would be very useful.
Best regards,
David Bosschaert
