To me WABs are a transitional middle ground towards moving fully to
OSGi. I have not used them so far but by reading the spec I see that:

- a WAB requires application server support - a Web Extender
- a WAB still uses web.xml and the 'classic' JEE structure

It may make more sense to you to go the WAB route first but I suggest
you at least keep your options open and migrate to a pure OSGi setup.

Looking forward to hearing more about your progress, once there's news
about it :-)

Thanks,

Robert
