Register servlets under objectClass javax.servlet.Servlet instead of
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: ACE-159
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACE-159
Project: Ace
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.8.0
Reporter: Bram de Kruijff
ACE registers its servlets whiteboard style under
objectClass=javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet. The custom whiteboard
implementation HttpListener bridges them to available Http services.
1) I think strictly speaking this is not spec compliant as HttpServlet is not
an interface?
2) It is unnecessarily specific as HttpService#registerServlet accepts
javax.servlet.Servlet
3) It is not (out of the box) portable to Felix HTTP whiteboard or Amdatu
Dispatcher
For these reasons I'd suggest switching to objectClass=javax.servlet.Servlet.
Would be happy to work on a small patch if there is some consensus that this is
a good idea.
