RE: [equinox-dev] Using org.eclipse.equinox.http inside of an RCP application
|
Simon,
Thanks for the input. I use Eclipse 3.2.0 or 3.2.1 as the basis for my
target platform, if I try and use the Equinox 3.3.0M6 it appears to update
to a 3.3.0 for org.eclipse.osgi plug-in. If I try and use the stream build
for Eclipse 3.2.1 it doesn't include the HTTP Registry.
I'm not terribly anxious to swap out the osgi plug-in with the minor
number differing. Is there any chance of a 3.2.1 maintenance build that
includes it? (I'm not sure if 3.2.1 maintenance releases can add
enhancements, I'm not familiar enough with the release rules used by Eclipse
or Equinox). According to the version numbering it appears to be compatible
with the 3.2.1, and the 3.2.1 maintenance uses the 3.2.2 OSGi plug-in.
I'd really like the source for everything is my primary problem. Taking
the SDK for the 3.3M6 and getting what I need out of out it and put into a
3.2.1 build including all of the source is a bit more surgery then I want to
try and pull off (source plug-ins aren't very mix and match friendly, but I
believe Eclipse/Equinox has a plan to make it better). I can setup a
feature and releng in my local VC system that pulls from the existing CVS.
Locally I publish a target platform that other developers use. I try
and ensure that anything we have source for is included, and that every step
is repeatable, and scripted. If somebody has other suggestions, I'd be
interested.
Thanks,
Kirby

Hi Kirby,
Go ahead use the org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry ;)
The server-side work is no longer "experimental", and graduated after
3.2 was released. The 3.3 bundles are 100% compatible and tested with
Eclipse 3.2.
Also, I'd definitely suggest using the graduated bundles as they're
supported and actively being worked on. For formal builds you can use
the latest 3.3 integration build.
--
For the servlet api bundles...
o.e.e.servlet.api is a bundling of the servlet 2.3 api
If you need servlet 2.4 javax.servlet [v2_4] is available from orbit.
I'd suggest using the orbit bundles as that seems to be the direction
things are going for 3rd party bundles in 3.3.
--
I have manually edited the config.ini in the past however for
integration in an RCP I would tend to use an event to trigger the
startup of the http server. Currently you start the bundle to launch the
HttpService, but it might be a good thing to have a factory style method
to start it. Hmm...
HTH
