Apache Felix with Pax Web War Extender error starting bundle

Question

I'm developing with Osgi and Apache Felix and I have this problem. When I install and start the war of my Jersey project on my Apache Felix I get this:

org.ops4j.pax.web.pax-web-extender-war[org.ops4j.pax.web.extender.war.internal.Activator] : Starting destruction process for bundle platform-component-web-rest-service-authentication
org.ops4j.pax.web.pax-web-extender-war[org.ops4j.pax.web.extender.war.internal.Activator] : Not an extended bundle or destruction of extension already finished for platform-component-web-rest-service-authentication.
Started activator
org.ops4j.pax.web.pax-web-extender-war[org.ops4j.pax.web.extender.war.internal.WebObserver] : Ignore bundle platform-component-web-rest-service-authentication [193] which is not compatible with this extender

My activator is the standard:

public class WebAppContextListener implements BundleActivator, ServletContextListener {

static EventAdmin ea;

BundleContext bc;
ServiceReference eaRef;

synchronized static EventAdmin getEa() {
    return ea;
}

synchronized static void setEa(EventAdmin ea) {
    WebAppContextListener.ea = ea;
}

@Override
public void contextInitialized(final ServletContextEvent sce) {
    if (getEa() != null) {
        final String contextPath = sce.getServletContext().getContextPath();
        getEa().sendEvent(new Event("jersey/test/DEPLOYED",new HashMap<String, String>(){{
            put("context-path", contextPath);}}));
    }
}

@Override
public void contextDestroyed(final ServletContextEvent sce) {
    if (getEa() != null) {
        getEa().sendEvent(new Event("jersey/test/UNDEPLOYED",new HashMap<String, String>(){{put("context-path", sce.getServletContext().getContextPath());}}));
    }
}

@Override
public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
    System.out.println("Started Activator");
    bc = context;
    eaRef = bc.getServiceReference(EventAdmin.class.getName());
    if (eaRef != null) {
        setEa((EventAdmin)bc.getService(eaRef));
    }
}

@Override
public void stop(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
    if (eaRef != null) {
        setEa(null);
        bc.ungetService(eaRef);
    }
}

}

When I do a request to http://localhost:8080/authentication/rest/2.0.0/authentication/auth for example I get 404 and it seems that the war is not even deployed. Any ideas on what could this be?

Answer 1

Pax Web logs the "not compatible with this extender" error when your bundle cannot load javax.servlet.Servlet . Try adding a package import.

Answer 2

Don't embed the servlet API inside your application.

WEB-INF/lib/javax.servlet-api-3.0.1.j

ar This is not allowed to be in WARs (not even int std. Application containers) This might already be your root cause.
