Dear All: Sorry to bother... I have included detailed instructions here: http://tickets.openmrs.org/browse/TRUNK-1596?focusedCommentId=163216&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_163216
but the gist is that using JSP support that exists for Equinox container: http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/server/jsp_support.php I _am_ able to get JSPs to function properly in Equinox servlet bridge, but _not_ in Felix. We (OpenMRS) like Felix as it is, in fact, quite Maven friendly, whereis Equinox does not seem to be :( The only thing that I am doing that may be somewhat non-kosher is the line: sed -i "s/javax.servlet;javax.servlet.http;version=2.5/javax.servlet;javax.servlet.http;javax.servlet.resources;version=2.5/" WEB-INF/framework.properties As otherwise javax.servlet.resources is not found. This seems to be a bunch of DTD files in javax.servlet, but is not present (from what I can tell) _either_ in my Equinox or Felix setup. Clearly, the pages _are_ being served correctly, and the _only_ quirk is that JSP expression fail to be evaluated at all in Felix but _not_ in Equinox. Additionally, taglibs are not loaded at all. My WEB-INF/bundles folder: WEB-INF/bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.http.helper-1.0.0.jar WEB-INF/bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.jsp.examples_1.0.0.jar WEB-INF/bundles/org.apache.felix.http.samples.filter.jar WEB-INF/bundles/com.springsource.javax.el-1.0.0.jar WEB-INF/bundles/com.springsource.org.apache.taglibs.standard-1.1.2.jar WEB-INF/bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.jsp.jasper_1.0.0.v20070607.jar WEB-INF/bundles/org.springframework.osgi.jasper.osgi_5.5.23.SNAPSHOT.jar WEB-INF/bundles/com.springsource.javax.servlet.jsp.jstl-1.1.2.jar WEB-INF/bundles/com.springsource.org.apache.commons.el-1.0.0.jar WEB-INF/bundles/org.apache.felix.webconsole.jar WEB-INF/bundles/org.apache.felix.http.bridge.jar WEB-INF/bundles/com.springsource.javax.servlet.jsp-2.1.0.jar WEB-INF/bundles/com.springsource.org.apache.commons.logging-1.0.4.jar otherwise, besides changing framework.properties and the bundle additions, completely unmodified from default 2.0.4 bridge example. Any thoughts? Thank you Misha p.s. I have not investigated, but I could not quickly find a way to use the embedded "web console" feature, and see the errors below. I doubt this would be helpful (all packages are clearly resolved and installed as the JSP example package works - at least to my understanding), but it would be nice to have _proof_ of this: [INFO] Started bridged http service 2010-11-08 19:27:39.847:WARN:felix-bridge:OSGi framework startednull *INFO * Failed to instantiate plugin org.apache.felix.webconsole.internal.compendium.ComponentsServlet.
