What is Pax Web
OSGi R4 Http Service and Web Applications (OSGi Enterprise Release chapter 128) implementation using Jetty 9 and Tomcat 7.
Pax Web extends OSGi Http Service with better servlet support, filters, listeners, error pages and JSPs and some others in order to meet the latest versions of Servlet specs.
Pax Web facilitates an easy installation of WAR bundles as well as discovery of web elements published as OSGi services. All of this beside the, standard, programmatic registration as detailed in the HTTP Service specs.
Currently it supports the following:
- Servlet 3.0
- JSP 1.1.2
- JSF 2.1
- Jetty 9.x
- Tomcat 7.x
- support of CDI (through Pax-CDI)
- support of only Servlet 3.0 annotated Servlets in JAR
