What confused me is that I understood that the wab itself, made with bnd, is a war without the lib, while this is not part of being a wab. A wab is just a war with a manifest in the proper place with a couple of properties more than a normal bundle. > > > Regarding Wicket I really recommend taking a look at pax-wicket since > one of the pax > guys is really working hard to get this transparently flying :) > Pax-Wicket is really for adding/removing portions of a wicket app at runtime. This is not something I need now. Maybe can help me with the problem I am having after refreshing the bundle (@SpringBean not working anymore). For now I simply uninstall/install the bundle, maybe I'll find a solution but I already fight enough against these in the last days. Generally speaking, I'm trying to make this work cause I'm so frustrated by general JEE deployment, and I saw after my initial message that many share my feelings. Now that I can deploy a small jar, my app got installed in seconds. This is something I've no idea how to achieve with JEE. Moreover, is the same mechanism I use for all my other deployments, some small packages that make no sense to be deployed as war (they're simply not webapp). I'm trying to making this effort to be of some use for everyone. I'm in the process to build a PAAS over these technologies. With the help of some tools and a lightweight SDK, my target is to give to people a way to deploy java app/webapp in seconds "in the cloud", without messing with OSGi and all the problem I'm addressing. I'd be glad to discuss about that with anyone interested, here or in private if we're off topic. Best. -- Daniele Dellafiore http://danieledellafiore.net
