OSGi already has a design well underway for a "replacement" of HttpService
which is whiteboard based and supports bundle based web applications: RFC
66 Web Container Service.
It needs a bit of clean up and then I will work to get a draft made
available to the open source communities for comment. But in the meantime,
Richard can read and comment upon it...
I might not be the best person to comment on it, since I know squat
about web applications. However, I will try to take a look at it.
Clearly, we will want to align ourselves with anything official that
comes along, but there is no reason to not play with ideas now.

[jira] Commented: (FELIX-64) Create a whiteboard adaptor for the HTTP
Service

Rob Walker commented on FELIX-64:
---------------------------------
We'd need to ensure that there is a standard property and/or API call that
the HTTP Service can use to determine the alias under which to register
the servlet automatically.
Not used whiteboard approach myself - but it would seem some common/well
define OSGi property of the registering bundle/service which the HTTP or
whiteboard service could retrieve would be the way to go.
Create a whiteboard adaptor for the HTTP Service
------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-64
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-64
Project: Felix
Type: New Feature
Components: HTTP Service
Reporter: Richard S. Hall
Priority: Minor
The HTTP Service was defined before the whiteboard approach for services
became common, so it would be nice to implement a standard adaptor for the
HTTP Service that implemented this pattern. To be more precise, the
spec'ed behavior of the HTTP Service requires that servlet instances be
registered with it explicitly. The whiteboard adaptor would allow servlet
instances to be registered as services in the service registry and have
the HTTP Service automatically register them by listening for service
events.
