In answer to your question, yes PAX Web should be providing the contract.

Hi Achim,
This isn't particularly new, the original recommendation is at least three
years old and was blogged about in 2014
(http://blog.osgi.org/2014/09/portable-java-contracts-for-javax.html?m=1).
The complexity comes from the fact that Java EE uses marketing versions for
API, not
You are right, pax-web should provide you with that,
please open an issue for it at https://ops4j1.jira.com/projects/PAXWEB
if you don't have an account, give me a ping I'll create that one for you.
till this point in time, I wasn't even aware of that possible contract,
that's why it's missing.
OK, I've "solved" this by creating an additional bundle that simply has the
required:
Provide-Capability: osgi.contract;osgi.contract=JavaServlet;version:Vers
ion="3.1";uses:="javax.servlet,javax.servlet.http,javax.servlet.descrip
tor,javax.servlet.annotation"
line in the MANIFEST.
I say
Ok ... that's new, and when did that happen?
Which package is supposed to provide that?
And why do we now need another re-package package of the already available
servlet api package?
That's one of those moments I really can see why people say OSGi makes
everything far to complex ...

Requiring the JavaServlet contract is a good idea, and recommended by the OSGi
Alliance (https://www.osgi.org/portable-java-contract-definitions/). You need a
bundle which provides the contract in your runtime. I'd suggest using the
repackaged servlet api from Apache Felix.

taken from your first mail,
your bundle mybundle seems to declare an osgi contract on JavaServlet.
Never seen that kind of dependency before.
Make sure you have a clean import-package export-package structure in your
bundle.
I think that is your root issue.
regarding using pax-web instead of
With regard to the "wrap/0.0.0" error, running Maven with -X gives me:
