Agenda

• bug 348045 org.eclipse.equinox.servletbridge.extensionbundle IU is exporting javax.servlet.
• Running the OSGi CT on Equinox bundles.
• Extension Registry replacement.

servlet bridge extension bundle issue

• This may be related to Template:Bud
• The issue is the bridge extension bundle does not actually contain the packages javax.servlet
  • Instead the packages or inherited from the running app server
  • There is a p2.inf file in the bundle so that the p2 profile for the war knows that this package is available
• It does not look like there is anything we can do in 3.7 to address
• We need to look into ways to solve this in Juno.

Extension Registry Replacement for p2 usage

• bug 325328
• General agreement to move away from extension registry
• Several concerns with moving to OSGi services
  • Extension points are considered API.
  • There is discussions of moving the extension points and processing to a separate bundles.
  • This seems overly complex. Seems like we should start simple and make the extension registry an optional dependency, but keep the extension points and code to process them intact.
