Introduction

The EclipseRT can be run as a lightweight application server on Amazon's EC2 service. Using the EclipseRT 3.6 development stream (currently on Milestone 5, with target release called Helios), an Amazon Image (AMI) was created using the most recently available build of the Equinox project, as well as Jetty 7.0.1 web server and the p2 provisioning platform.

Using the Amazon Image

This Amazon Image is a Community AMI, meaning that any EC2 user can retrieve/use this AMI to launch an EC2 instance.

AMI ID: ami-69d93600
Manifest: eclipsert/osgi_eclipsert36_20100311_jetty_linux_x86.manifest.xml

See the AWS management console to launch instances, and then within the Community AMI tab, simply search for 'osgi' and select the AMI ID: ami-69d93600.

Starting the Jetty Server

Once the instance has been created and is running (as indicated by the AWS console), ssh to your new EC2 instance as described by the EC2 management console documentation. Login as root.

Once in the unix shell, type the following:

cd /env/osgi_eclipsert36_sb_p2_jetty_7_0_1_linux_x86/jetty-distribution-7.0.1.v20091125

Once in this directory, to start the eclipsert server, simply type

./eclipsert36.sh

to start the Jetty server. You will see output to the console something like this

Your server is now running, with a very simple example 'Hello World' application, so you can now access this application by going to the URL of the following form:

http://<your EC2 instance's public dns address>:8080/hello

For example, here is an EC2 instance running this application

http://ec2-75-101-228-69.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8080/hello

This should produce an EclipseRT Hello World! page. On the resulting page is some basic OSGi information about the Hello World application, along with a link to EclipseRT pages, and a link to the source code for the Hello World application itself.
