Using the Servlet Bridge

The servlet bridge is used if you want to use the Http service inside a WAR deployed on a 3rd part applicaiton server. A little setup is needed for this to work:

• Deploy org.apache.felix.http.proxy jar file inside the web applicaiton (WEB-INF/lib).
• In a startup listener (like ServletContextListener) set the BundleContext as a servlet context attribute (see example).
• Define org.apache.felix.http.proxy.ProxyServlet inside your web.xml and register it to serve on all requests /* (see example).
• Be sure to add javax.servlet;javax.servlet.http;version=2.5 to OSGi system packages ((org.osgi.framework.system.packages).
• Deploy org.apache.felix.http.bridge (or org.apache.felix.http.bundle) inside the OSGi framework.

A detailed example can be found http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/felix/trunk/http/samples/bridge.

The service can both be configured using OSGi environment properties and using Configuration Admin. The service PID for this service is "org.apache.felix.http". If you use both methods, Configuration Admin takes precedence. The following properties can be used (some legacy property names still exist but are not documented here on purpose):
