Add OSGi bundle information and bundle classloader / activator
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-2290
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-2290
Project: MyFaces Core
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: General
Affects Versions: 1.2.8-SNAPSHOT
Environment: OSGi (Equinox, Apache Felix, ...)
Reporter: Felix Röthenbacher
The provided patch will add OSGi information to bundle manifest. A bundle
activator class makes the MyFaces framework aware that it is running in a
bundle environment. A bundle classloader is used to load classes and resources
from the bundle classpath. The patch doesn't require any new runtime
dependencies and doesn't affect class loading in a non-OSGi environment.
Though, small modifications to classloading were needed. This was mainly
replacing Thread.currentThread.getContextClassLoader() with ClassUtils methods.
To run MyFaces in an OSGi environment both bundles (myfaces-api and
myfaces-impl) have to be started in the OSGi container. Additionally, the
myfaces-impl bundle has to be made available to myfaces-api. Use a fragment
bundle with myfaces-api as Fragment-Host and myfaces-impl as Required-Bundle.
