Exported .war does not work

My application is working at development time, but when I export it the web application does not work. Check the following:

• check your build.properties
  • are you exporting the plugin.xml
  • are all libraries you are using in the plugin.jars
  • TIP: As pde build sometimes swallows error messages try exporting your feature with "Deployable feature" export, this may turn up error messages
• enable the osgi console by adding this init-param to the web.xml:

  <init-param>
     <param-name>commandline</param-name>
     <param-value>-console</param-value>			
  </init-param>

• • you may want to add a port after -console in unix environments, you can then telnet to the osgi console
  • type ss in the console and see if all bundles are started. If not try starting them with "start <bundle-id>"
  • the stack traces may hint to what is missing
• start with a working example: rapdemo.war and integrate your plugins

How do I add an applet / flash / an existing Javascript libary

• A very simplistic approach is to create a html page (or a servlet) containing your applet / flash / JS. You can simply use the browser widget to load that page within your application.

• A tighter integration can be achieved by developing a custom widget as explained here (integrating GMap): custom widget tutorial
