On IBM WebSphere Application Server (since V8, V7 with OSGi FEP), you do not have to install your RAP application using the bridge.war file. WAS provides an OSGi platform to Java EE applications to use OSGi's resolver mechanism and service dynamic. This platform is based on the Equinox OSGi implementation, but does not support Equinox-specific functionality like Extension Points. WAS implements the OSGi Enterprise WAB und BluePrint specification.

To deploy RWT on RAP, you have to do the following steps:

1. Create a WAB and register the Equinox HttpService Servlet using the /* URL mapping.

2. Create an EBA file with the META-INF/APPLICATION.MF file. This file should look like this for a simple RWT application:
Application-Name: org.eclipse.rap.rwt.demo.eba
Application-SymbolicName: org.eclipse.rap.rwt.demo.eba
Application-ManifestVersion: 1.0
Application-Version: 1.0.0.qualifier
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Application-Content: org.eclipse.equinox.http.embedded.web;version=1.0.0,
 org.eclipse.rap.rwt.demo.bundle;version=1.0.0,
 org.eclipse.rap.rwt;version=1.5.0,
 org.eclipse.rap.rwt.osgi;version=1.5.0,
 org.eclipse.equinox.http.servlet;version=1.1.300,
 org.eclipse.osgi.services;version=3.3.0

If you want to use JFace, you have to add some bundles from the Eclipse runtime. Please note that WAS8 currently provides the org.eclipse.osgi bundle version 3.6.0, so you need to use the Eclipse 3.6 runtime bundles. Although RAP 1.5 is packaged with the Eclipse 3.8 platform, RAP and JFace can be used with Eclipse 3.6.

Application-Name: org.eclipse.rap.rwt.demo.eba
Application-SymbolicName: org.eclipse.rap.rwt.demo.eba
Application-ManifestVersion: 1.0
Application-Version: 1.0.0.qualifier
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Application-Content: org.eclipse.equinox.http.embedded.web;version=1.0.0,
 org.eclipse.rap.rwt.demo.bundle;version=1.0.0,
 org.eclipse.rap.rwt;version=1.5.0,
 org.eclipse.rap.rwt.osgi;version=1.5.0,
 org.eclipse.equinox.http.servlet;version=1.1.300,
 org.eclipse.osgi.services;version=3.3.0,
 com.ibm.icu.base;version=4.2.1,
 org.eclipse.core.commands;version=3.6.0,
 org.eclipse.core.databinding;version=1.3.100,
 org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable;version=1.3.0,
 org.eclipse.core.databinding.property;version=1.3.0,
 org.eclipse.equinox.common;version=3.6.0,
 org.eclipse.rap.jface;version=1.5.0,
 org.eclipse.rap.jface.databinding;version=1.5.0

It is helpful to use IBM Rational Application Developer V8 with OSGi tools installed or to install IBM OSGi tools into Eclipse and to create EBA/WAB/OSGi bundle projects.
