Re: [ecf-dev] ECF Collab Server as an Equinox runtime instance

[Jeff McAffer <Jeff_McAffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

as a point of interest, why run the
server as embedded in tomcat rather than standalone using the Equinox HTTP
service (or the Jetty based one that is coming).  Bascially you get
the same function/setup but eliminate some buck passing and bulk.

Subject	Re: [ecf-dev] ECF Collab Server as an Equinox runtime instance

Hi Ken,

First...cool!  Way to go dude!


Worked exactly as expected.  Is there any interest
in creating equinox/osgi-specific releases of ECF?  

There is (interest) on my part.  I would imagine there are others...but
would like to hear from them.

It would be very easy to create set of ECF server plugins, roll them up
into a feature, and distribute them for running on, say, the equinox servlet
container (http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/incubator/server/embedding_in_a_servlet_container.php).
 

The current ECF generic server running on ecftcp://ecf.eclipse.org:3282/server
is currently running that way (as a set of plugins running under Tomcat
and using the equinox servlet container).  To get to this I just installed
all the ECF plugins from the SDK within the plugins area under the servlet
container bridge...changed the server.xml configuration in org.eclipse.ecf.server/conf
directory and wahlah...it runs all the time.

Also, does anyone know if it's possible to specify a "plugins"
directory in the config.ini that the osgi runtime will look in for bundle
dependencies, rather than having to explicitly define them?

In the equinox servlet container runtime this happens automagically, as
the dependencies are read/resolved in the 'equinox/eclipse way'.

Scott
