Hello,
Notes8 is built on the OSGi/Equinox framework.
The OSGi specification states, the standard implementation has to have an Http service (which is missing only in the mobile specification).
And yes, looking at Eclipse/Equinox3.4, this is true.
I´ve got a simple 'hello world' plugin which works fine if the target platform is 'Equinox'.
What it does:
As a 'service component', it simply connects to the service 'org.osgi.service.http.HttpService' and provides a simple servlet and a static html file.
The port is set to to 1234 via 'run configuration': -Dorg.osgi.service.http.port=1234
This example works fine in Eclipse3.4/Equinox3.4.
After moving to Notes8.5.1, it does just nothing.
The problem is, there simply is no http service (org.osgi.service.http.HttpService) which triggers my service component.
Thanks to an example plugin which i´ve got from IBM, i´m now using com.ibm.pvc.webcontainer as a workaround.
On the one side, i see the smart OSGi solution (HttpService) which is satisfied just with a few code lines.
On Notes side, it looks like if i need to use a webserver, which imho is too heavy for a simple servlet.
Drawbacks are: Plugin has to be an 'webproject plugin' (overhead), and the webserver surely needs more resources when running.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
