Alin,
Wow that seems cool.. I was only thinking as a first step to be able
to manually translate and as a second step to have it automatically
load war files. Though it seems very simple with all the work you
have done.
You probably already know this but I was looking through the
compendium services spec lately and the Foreign Application Access
Specification seems related to this. Might be a simple place to get
the metadata you were talking about.
Just some thoughts,
Matt

Hi Mat,
war support is on the way :)
I have not yet sorted all the ideas I have about in my mind but I'm
pretty close.
In short I want to support something like:
1. Just install an war if it has required metadata that an osgi
framework will accept it (basically it should contain the minimum
osgi mandatory headers and maybe correct classpath if it contains
lib folder - this I have to sort it out)
2. If is a "normal" jar, install it using a custom url, something
like war:<url to file that contains the additional metadata> so you
can still keep the war in it's original form but still install it in
a easy way.
3. install a bundle that can "scan" a specified system folder and as
soon as there is a new/updated war install(re-install) the war. Then
if the bundle is in case 1) then just install and if is a "normal"
war look also for the kind of file you can specify with 2) that
should be named the same as the war but with a different extension.
I will look also into the *.do mapping.

After the current set of changes to Pax-Web to support listeners and
filters there really isn't much left that prevents being able to add a
web.xml parse to the extender that would allow loading of a generic
war file into Pax-Web. The only thing that I can see lacking is that
there doesn't seem to be an easy way to associate a servlet with a
wild card like *.do
If that support was added it would be relatively simple to convert an
existing j2ee webapp into a osgi based web application.
Is there any simple way to add support like that? Is it there and I'm
just missing it?
