Right now Felix is what we have to work with. So that's why I'm looking at the jetty server. I'm not using hibernate, just a service that has the state data which needs to be displayed on the GUI. I'm just having trouble with the context handlers and servlets and getting everything connected, and your example is the only one I can find. I start Felix up a little differently, using the config.properities file with felix.jar so thats part where the gap is. Thanks for your input. Right now Felix is what we have to work with.

Do you want to update controls on your gui? Or do you want to change data using hibernate for instance. Both options can be made available. There are however some substantial buts. With Hibernate there are still some class loading tricks and data sharing things to consider. If you can update the gui using remote services this should be possible. Personally I see this post as a more theoretical case. I'd urge you to have a look at the more advanced projects that have modules available that you can use in for instance glassfish, spring dm, or other servers. Not that felix is not nice, just this combination of jetty and felix is not going to be the future. Check one of the previous comments about pax for more information Not sure if I understand the question completely. Do you want to update controls on your gui?

I'm new at all this, and I'm trying to update controls on a gui via Jetty Web server based on information thats being passed around the osgi/felix services. Is that possible? I'm trying to 1 - integrate jetty with felix, which your post is helping on. and 2 - I have a GUI using java web start running on Jetty and I want to be able to update status on it. Everything I've seen so far thats in osgi seems to still be pretty standalone, meaning there is no data thats being actively updated. Do you have any suggestions on how to do this, or where I can find some more information and examples on it? Thanks!! Thanks for posting this helped.

That is because the spec is not a complete war implementation. The spec just specifies a very basic HttpService implementation. Therefore at springsource they have implemented something different for web projects. There are other solutions available if you browse the web. We plan on writing more on this the coming period, but time is my enemy at the moment. As for the sources, since the sources are already available, as well as the patch, i'd encourage you to download the sources as well as the patch. I am not planning on providing the patches sources. Sorry I cannot help you further, hope to write more about this in the near future. You are right that it is hard to configure the jetty server with listeners and filters.

Some kind of listener control, filter configuration and so on. Have I something misunderstand? or it is really not possible to configure it. I checked also the svn http://gridshore.googlecode.com/svn/trunk with the idea to find the sources to yours felix.http.jetty bundle to perform the changes that I need but I found nothing. Am I looking on the right place? One more time thanks. Best regards Roman Janos Hi,
