I looked through the patch for SLING-1157 and it looks to be just what I need. Thanks for submitting that.
For those that find this thread later, the reason why this works is that war produced by my build has a proper OSGi bundle manifest in it as well as all the needed bits to be a proper webapp. Felix uses the manifest to load everything in OSGi. Pax Web sees a bundle has been loaded that contains WEB-INF/web.xml and processes it as a webapp. Since Sling, pre-1157, processes jar files, it's just a matter of renaming the artifact. In Java syntax: class TheArtifactFromMyBuild implements OSGiBundle, WebApp; :-) ----- "Justin Edelson" <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm surprised that works, but I'm not really familiar with the pax web > > extender.
