When I change the packaging of my web project from "bundle" to "war", the
web bundle is no longer included when I run "mvn clean install
pax:provision". Stuart considers this a bug in pax-provision.
In order to get the web bundle to be installed and started, I chose to
specify it explicitly using the deployURLs property. Note that I clear the
cache dir first, to be sure of what's downloaded.
rm -rf runner/
mvn clean install pax:provision
-DdeployURLs=mvn:mygroup/myartifact/1.0-SNAPSHOT/war
The funny thing here is that pax-runner finds the .war in the repo, but
downloads it to a local cached .jar file. Look here:
[INFO] Installing src/myapp/myartifact/target/myartifact-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war to
/Users/ulrik/.m2/repository/mygroup/myartifact/1.0-SNAPSHOT/myartifact-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war
...
-> Provision from [mvn:mygroup/myartifact/1.0-SNAPSHOT/war]
-> Provision from [scan-bundle:mvn:mygroup/myartifact/1.0-SNAPSHOT/war]
-> Installing bundle [{location=mvn:mygroup/myartifact
/1.0-SNAPSHOT/war,startlevel=null,shouldStart=true,shouldUpdate=false}]
-> Downloading bundles...
...
-> mvn:mygroup/myartifact/1.0-SNAPSHOT/war : 14412 bytes @ [ 4804kBps ]
The started bundle is actually a .jar:
osgi> ss
...
25 ACTIVE myartifact_1.0.0.SNAPSHOT
osgi> diag 25
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:file:myartifact_1.0.0.SNAPSHOT.jar/ [25]
No unresolved constraints.
Looking in the bundle cache explains why:
% ls -l runner
...
-rw-r--r-- 1 ulrik staff 14412 14 Jul 03:25
myartifact_1.0.0.SNAPSHOT.jar
It appears that a bundle must always be a .jar, and if it's not, it is
converted into a .jar. Is this really what we want?
