Deploying simple war as OSGi bundle in ServiceMix

I have written an incredibly simple (no java files) war file which I am hoping to deploy to servicemix. It has the following directory structure:

.
|-src
  |-main
    |-webapp
      |-css
      |-js
      |-WEB-INF
        \-web.xml
      \-index.html
\-pom.xml

I am able to deploy this to the jetty container running in ServiceMix using the following commands:

>install war:file:///<Fully qualified war location>?Webapp-Context=<Application name>
>osgi:start <Bundle id>
>http://localhost:8181/<Application name>/index.html

What I would prefer is to hot-deploy as I do with the rest of my bundles. What should the pom.xml look like? The simpler the better.

Solution

  • This has done the trick for me (although I did need to add a placeholder java file to ensure target/classes was generated):
