There is a how-to run the Jackrabbit stuff inside Equinox at [1]. And there is a page on running Sling on the ServiceMix Kernel at [2]. There is a slight drawback: You have to setup and install "manually". > How about running Sling and Jackrabbit, without Felix, in Spring DM? Should actually be very possible, though I do not know, whether this has already been tried. Any feedback would of course be welcome.

I have made some tests runnig Sling on the ServiceMix Kernel and everything was ok. An OSGi R4 Http Service implementation is mandatory in order to work, for instance Pax Web [1]. Regarding with this, maybe we should provide a systematic way to test Sling on other OSGi containers than Apache Felix. Using Pax Exam [2] with the Sling integration tests could be a choice. WDYT?

I was thinking along the lines of creating a "dummy bundle", which contains references to "core" Sling bundles. Then we could instruct to point the OSGi Bundle Repository Client to the Sling Bundle Repository and install the "dummy bundle" to have Sling easily installed.

I knew you would mention that ;-) Sure, this would also be a good idea, of course -- In fact it is a far better idea than the "dummy bundle" -- and I constantly forget about it. Regards Felix

Re: OSGI pluggability in Sling
Hi. I'm not sure if this is the best place to write to, but I've been able to use Sling in ServiceMix Kernel without much problems, and have created a patch to deploy it as a ServiceMix Kernel feature. I've attached the patch to the following JIRA issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-896 I assume it would be quite useful for users to be able to use this patch, because it allows the deployment of Sling in ServiceMix Kernel by executing just two lines, so I'd appreciate you commiters including it maybe in the contrib section of the project.

Maybe as a new launchpad module under contrib. WDYT? BR, Juanjo.

WDYT? Makes sense. In fact, that's what I was thinking of, too. Regards Felix
