Hi,
I’m new to the whole OSGI thing and vaadin. I’m trying to build a modular webapp based on OSGi. My problem is finding a Framework for building the UI. Unfortunately I’m forced to use tomcat as application server.
I’m using equinox within a tomcat via the servlet bridge[1]
and now I want to know if vaadin works together with this setup, especially with the servlet bridge?
Perhaps somebody has experience with that.

Hello Kay
Unfortunately, I have no experience with the tools you’re using. I’m using Glassfish 3.1.1/OSGi/Vaadin 6.8.
However, the usage is very straightforward. The most usual approach is to extend your own servlet from AbstractApplicationServlet, and register it using the utility class org.osgi.service.http.HttpService.

I hope this help you. Like you, I’m also getting used to Vaadin/OSGi.

Hi Marcond,
thank you for your reply. My Problem is that all those Examples are working on a native OSGi container. I can’t change the underlying server so that my only chance is the servlet bridge from equinox.
