In my experience getting used to do things the OSGi way is difficult at the beginning but latter on the effort will pay off... In fact it is relatively easy to set up a Wicket-OSGi project if you are using Eclipse for development and you don't mind using equinox as your OSGi implementation. You could easily build a WEB console to manage plug-ins (bundles) on your application. > I imagine this application like this: I visit some administration page, > where can I upload a jar file containing the extension.

I think my application should have some "OSGi > container". I have already tried some "bridge.war" from some webpage (I > don't remember now, which one was it), it is running correctly, but I > really > do not know what to do now. Add some bundles? Where? How? :) > Btw, I am running Sun Java System Application Server. Probably yo are reffering to [1] ? You will have to export your bundles into the plug-ins section inside this war. This war is just a WEB application that starts an OSGi runtime (an equinox) and uses a Servlet to manage it and to redirect requests to your application to the servlets you mount using the HTTP service provided by the equinox runtime. If you need more help I could help you set up such a project (although currently I do not have much spare time;-) Best, Ernesto References 1-http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/server/
