I will try to describe what I neeed to do :

- I got a servlet getting an information ( integers) from an HTML form.

- I forward that info to the BridgeServlet.

- I need the BridgeServlet to start a specific bundle that can “handle” the info (doing basic calculation). –> starting the bundle is not a problem (as you said it’s done by the framework). However, the problem is how to transmit the info (integer) from the servlet to the bundle.

Well, basically the Equinox framework will start it for you.

Inside the bridge installation you can find the config.ini file where you can specify all sorts of info such as which bundles to load, start, the order in which they do (watch the dependencies!), etc.

Hi,

What I don’t understand is how can a servlet call the bridgeservlet to start an OSGi bundle.

I mean I know how to do it manually by using the OSGi prompt inside the server console. But, what if I need to call the bundle from my servlet.

Thanks in advance,
