Re: [Fwd: HttpService.registerResources]

[Rob Walker]

Again,

What this is saying to me is " alias requests to '/ as '/image.png' " - 
which may not be what you want.

The more common approach from examples we've worked with, where it's 
typical to register aliases to paths where several resources are 
located, as opposed to alias every specific resource e.g.

   m_httpServ.registerResources("/resource", 
"/org/ungoverned/osgi/bundle/httptest/resource", null);

   (this is from the httptest bundle that is still available on OBR 
at    http://oscar-osgi.sourceforge.net/     which has some source if 
you want examples)

One thing to be careful of, which is why the alias mechanism exists, is 
that the HTTP namespace is global, but multiple bundles may have their 
own package/dir namespace - so each bundle needs to be careful that the 
aliases it registers map to files in their resource space, and don't 
collide with other aliases from other bundles

If image.png is a resource in the root of your bundle, then you may be 
able to use following:

http.registerResources("/", "/", null);

(this assumes a getResource("/image.png") for your bundle's context 
would locate the required resource)

The trouble here, is that by registering the "root" as an alias, you may 
limit/collide with anything other bundles want to register - you'll 
effectively be saying go to this bundle for all / resources.

Hi!

Thank you for your answer.

I have not registered an alias and a resource as the same name. The 
problem even occurs if I just register a single resource. And it makes 
no difference if I register the resource using:

|> http.registerResources("/", "/image.png", null);

I still getting error messages like:
-> WARNING: image.png/ 
(org.apache.felix.moduleloader.ResourceNotFoundException: image.png/)

PS.: If you are interested, I can send you a small test-project which 
shows the problem.

This might be a dumb question, but is there a reason for registering 
an alias and a resource as the same name?
If you try changing this and registering "/" - then does your 
"http://localhost/image.png"; work?
