The War manager is needed in case of updating your WAB bundle. Just think of the following scenario. You install a second WAB with different versioning and maybe a different naming schema but the same WebContext-Path. Just for this rare occasion it's possible to stop and start those WebContext-Paths. That's the only reason to use this service. It's there so someone can do some tweaking from the outside.
In general if you don't want your Bundle to be automatically started, make sure you only have it resolved but not started in the OSGi life-cycle. You might also want to give it a try to set: Bundle-ActivationPolicy: lazy I don't know how this will actually is going to behave. regards, Achim 2016-08-14 12:20 GMT+02:00 iJava <[email protected]>: > I thought a little - if there is a WarManager (as I understand it is osgi > service?) and we can start and stop web application, > then how to disable auto start of web application when bundle starts? > Because if it is always started when bundle > starts then there is no meaning in start method of WarManager. > > > On Sunday, 14 August 2016 10:27:11 UTC+3, Achim Nierbeck wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> redeployment of the application isn't possible as it relies on the >> deployment cycle of bundles.
