[equinox-dev] httpContext extension point not working, but servlet exten

Title: httpContext extension point not working, but servlet extension point is?

Hopefully this is the correct place for this post… I did not see an equivalent .usr mailing list for equinox.

I am using the servletbridge.  I can see my org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.servlets registered servlets fine, both in a jetty container as well as in Tomcat launched within eclipse as a Java application.  But, I can not see any httpContexts registered under the extension point org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.httpcontext.  The only context that works is that of the tomcat registered context.  In jetty, I can only access my servlets directly.

This works:

http://localhost/myServlet?foo=bar

This does not work:

        http://localhost/myWebAppContext/myServlet?foo=bar

unless I am running in Tomcat with the context registered specifically in Tomcat (5.5) as <Context path="/myWebAppContext" docBase="myPath”/>

I even tried getting a servlet init param registered with the servlet so that maybe I could get the web context out that way, but I can not access the init params from the servlet code either:

These both produce a null response:

        req.getSession().getServletContext().getServletContextName()

        req.getSession().getServletContext().getInitParameter(“webAppContext”);

Any ideas?

Plugin.xml:

<plugin>

   <extension point="org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.httpcontexts">

                <httpcontext

                        name="myWebAppContext"

                        path="/myWebAppContext ">

                </httpcontext>

        </extension>

   <extension point="org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.servlets">

         <servlet

                class="com.compuware.myServlet"

                alias="/myServlet "

                httpcontext-name=" myWebAppContext "

                load-on-startup="true">

                           <init-param

                 name="webAppContext"

                 value="cwinfocenterBLA">

           </init-param>

                </servlet>

   </extension>

</plugin>
