Introduction

In a previous post, I have explained how you can transform ServiceMix 4 as a Web Application Server. In this new post, I will show you How you can combine the power of Apache Wicket and Spring OSGI services together on ServiceMix 4 with the help of PAX Web.

This mix can be achieved very easily. Only a few steps are required.

Create projects

1) Create a maven project where you will design your spring service and expose it as an OSGI service according to the Spring documentation.

@SpringBean
private IncidentService incidentService;

Generate bundles and deploy

5) Now generate the bundles (JAR/WAR) and deploy them top of SMX4. Before to deploy the war containing the web project, verify that the following bundles are deployed on SMX4 :

• OPS4J Pax Web - Web Container (0.6.0)
• OPS4J Pax Web - Jsp Support (0.6.0)
• OPS4J Pax Web Extender - WAR (0.5.1)
• OPS4J Pax Web Extender - Whiteboard (0.5.1)
• OPS4J Pax Url - war:, war-i: (0.4.0)

• spring-osgi-web (1.2.0.rc1)
• Wicket (1.3.5)
• Wicket IoC common code (1.3.5)
