Specifically, I need the bundles to share the HttpSession and the ability to forward from a servlet in one bundle to a servlet/JSP in another. I could delegate to a shared HttpContext but that only helps with resource loading if I'm not mistaken. Each bundle would still have its own ServletContext and hence, my two use cases aren't satisfied. > Now your use case.

Correct? > Yep, that's what I'd like to do. Ultimately, I want a single servlet context for all of my application bundles. Shared HttpSession, forwards, attributes, etc. My current work around is to write an extender bundle that is responsible for registering all servlets and JSPs. It will discover the servlets and JSPs that my application bundles provide and then register them with the WebContainer. I'll have to write a custom HttpContext that knows how to load resources from the discovered bundles. One disadvantage to this approach is that JSP TLDs will have to be in the extender bundle, not the application bundles. If the JSP support searched imported packages for TLDs, I could avoid that. Is there a simpler way to share a ServletContext across bundles? Thanks, Michael
