This sample project combines the Equinox httpService with OSGi Applications on the WebSphere Liberty profile.
This readme file focusses on how to install and test the sample. Please see https://www.ibmdw.net/wasdev/docs/sample-osgi-httpservice for a broader overview of the sample and its purpose.
The project comprises a user feature and two OSGi applications. The user feature provides the HttpService. Of the two OSGi Applications, one registers itself with the HttpService; the other is detected and registered by the user feature.
Installation This section covers:
Getting the projects into Eclipse. You will need:
A recent copy of the Eclipse IDE. I'm using Juno SR2. The WebSphere Development Tools don't support Kepler as of July 12th 2013. (https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=0b0dff76-f833-4607-95e8-538a9ddaec75) See http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
For Git tools I'm using the GitHub client for Windows, and the eGIT Eclipse client, http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates
Create a WebSphere Liberty Profile runtime.
Install the WebSphere Application Server Developer Tools (“WDT”) into Eclipse: https://www.ibmdw.net/wasdev/downloads/
Window > Preferences > Server > Runtime Environments > Add > WebSphere Application Server V8.5 Liberty Profile. Download a new runtime or reuse an existing one. Mine is called the default 'WebSphere Application Server V8.5 Liberty Profile'.
Add a new server
Create a new server: New > Server > WebSphere Application Server V8.5 Liberty Profile
Download the following bundles:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/equinox/drops/R-3.7-201106131736/org.eclipse.equinox.http.servlet_1.1.200.v20110502.jar
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/equinox/drops/R-3.7.2-201202080800/org.eclipse.osgi.services_3.3.0.v20110513.jar
Load them into Eclipse: File > Import > OSGi Bundle or Fragment. Take the defaults, including the use of Liberty as the target runtime.
git clone https://github.com/WASdev/sample.osgi.httpservice File > Import > Existing projects into workspace. Pull in:
httpService-1.0 - user feature
httpServiceWab - bundle contained by the user feature. http requests go through here.
redWeb - application bundle
redWeb.app - OSGi Applcation
greenWeb - second application bundle
greenWeb.app - second OSGi Application
Set up your Target Platform: Windows > Preferences > Plug-in Development > Target Platform, and select WebSphere Application Server V8.5 Liberty Profile with SPI.
Set up your server. I've not worked out how to check a server.xml into GitHub in a way that makes it easy to pull out. So, edit your server.xml and add the following features: wab-1.0 usr:httpService-1.0
Also add this stanza:
bContainer deferServletLoad="false"/>
Install the user feature: Right click on httpService-1.0 in Enterprise Explorer and then click “Install Feature”.
Install the first application: right click redWeb.app > Run as > run on server
Start the server
Test the application! Visit http://localhost:9080/httpService/red
Web browser displays, 'Hello World from RedServlet'
Test the second application! Vitit http://localhost:9080/httpService/greenWeb
Web browser displays, 'Hello World from GreenServlet'
