Deploy war files in Apache Felix?

I'm trying to deploy an application to Apache Felix. It was a gwt application but I've been simplifying the problem until just a hello world html file so my problem is to deploy any kind of web application in a war file. I've also tried to deploy the generated wars in Apache Karaf and they worked without any problems (once you install feature war). So, right now I have this: ``` blaxter@duffman:~/devel/webapp $ tree . ├── pom.xml ├── src    └── main    ├── resources    └── webapp    ├── foobar.html └── WEB-INF    └── web.xml ``` The pom.xml is pretty straightforward, the interesting part is related with felix plugin, but for this war without any compiled code it doesn't matter... ``` <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.mycompany</groupId> <artifactId>webapp</artifactId> <packaging>war</packaging> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>webapp Maven Webapp</name> <url>http://maven.apache.org</url> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId> <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId> <version>2.5</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> <build> <finalName>webapp</finalName> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId> <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.3.7</version> <extensions>true</extensions> <executions> <execution> <id>bundle-manifest</id> <phase>process-classes</phase> <goals> <goal>manifest</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <configuration> <supportedProjectTypes> <supportedProjectType>jar</supportedProjectType> <supportedProjectType>bundle</supportedProjectType> <supportedProjectType>war</supportedProjectType> </supportedProjectTypes> <instructions> <Bundle-SymbolicName>${project.artifactId}</Bundle-SymbolicName> <Bundle-Version>${project.version}</Bundle-Version> <Embed-Dependency>*;scope=compile|runtime</Embed-Dependency> <Embed-Directory>WEB-INF/lib</Embed-Directory> <Embed-Transitive>true</Embed-Transitive> <Import-Package>*;resolution:=optional</Import-Package> <Web-ContextPath>/sample</Web-ContextPath> <Webapp-Context>/sample</Webapp-Context> <_wab>src/main/webapp</_wab> </instructions> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.ops4j</groupId> <artifactId>maven-pax-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <provision> <param>--platform=felix</param> <param>--profiles=compendium,web,war,log</param> <param>--log=debug</param> </provision> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.1.1</version> <executions> <execution> <phase>compile</phase> <goals> <goal>exploded</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <configuration> <webappDirectory>${webappDirectory}</webappDirectory> <archive> <!-- add the generated manifest to the war --> <manifestFile>${project.build.outputDirectory}/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF</manifestFile> </archive> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.3.2</version> <configuration> <source>1.6</source> <target>1.6</target> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project> ``` The pax plugin is also there because I've tried to run the application with that, but I got the same result. The web.xml is an empty one: ``` <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd" > <web-app> <display-name>Archetype Created Web Application</display-name> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>foobar.html</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> </web-app> ``` Once you execute mvn package to generate the war file, if I deploy it in Apache Felix I get no errors, the bundle state is active but I only get 404 errors trying to access /sample paths. I've tried put both sample and /sample as context path values. The same behaviour happens running mvn pax:run. If I deploy the war in Apache karaf, it works so I'd assume I'm doing something really wrong with felix. My current list of bundles is: ``` g! lb START LEVEL 1 ID|State |Level|Name 0|Active | 0|System Bundle (4.0.2) 1|Active | 1|JXSE (2.7.0) 2|Active | 1|Apache Felix Bundle Repository (1.6.6) 3|Active | 1|Apache Felix Configuration Admin Service (1.2.8) 4|Active | 1|Apache Felix EventAdmin (1.2.14) 5|Active | 1|Apache Felix File Install (3.2.0) 7|Resolved | 1|Apache Felix Security Provider (2.0.1) 8|Active | 1|Apache Felix Gogo Command (0.12.0) 9|Active | 1|Apache Felix Gogo Runtime (0.10.0) 10|Active | 1|Apache Felix Gogo Shell (0.10.0) 11|Active | 1|Apache Felix Http Api (2.2.0) 12|Active | 1|Apache Felix Http Base (2.2.0) 13|Active | 1|Apache Felix Http Bridge (2.2.0) 14|Active | 1|Apache Felix Http Bundle (2.2.0) 15|Active | 1|Apache Felix Http Jetty (2.2.0) 16|Active | 1|Apache Felix Log Service (1.0.1) 17|Active | 1|Apache Felix Shell Service (1.4.2) 18|Active | 1|OPS4J Pax Logging - API (1.6.3) 19|Active | 1|OPS4J Pax Logging - Service (1.6.3) 20|Active | 1|OPS4J Pax Url - mvn: (1.2.8) 21|Active | 1|OPS4J Pax Url - war (1.2.8) 22|Active | 1|OPS4J Pax Url - wrap: (1.2.8) 23|Active | 1|OPS4J Pax Web - API (1.0.9) 24|Active | 1|OPS4J Pax Web - FileInstall Deployer (1.0.9) 25|Active | 1|OPS4J Pax Web - Extender - WAR (1.0.9) 26|Active | 1|OPS4J Pax Web - Extender - Whiteboard (1.0.9) 27|Active | 1|OPS4J Pax Web - Jetty Bundle (1.0.9) 28|Active | 1|OPS4J Pax Web - Jsp Support (1.0.9) 29|Active | 1|OPS4J Pax Web - Runtime (1.0.9) 30|Active | 1|OPS4J Pax Web - Service SPI (1.0.9) ```
