How to upload my OSGi&JAX-RS application for Virgo?

Question

I have a few questions about my server OSGi & JAX-RS.

I built the server using the configuration of this tuturial:

http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/2014/02/04/step-by-step-how-to-bring-jax-rs-and-osgi-together/

My project compiles without problems in eclipse with these settings.

When I try to arrange it (using MANIFEST.MF) in Virgo, I get the following message:

Date:       2015-08-12
Time:       10:43:35 CEST

Cause: error

Exception:

My questions:

Where Virgo takes the target platform?
Why my Manifesto does not want to deploy to Virgo?
What can I do to impossible to deploy my server on Virgo?

Thank you for all the answers.

to 1. Virgo doesn't use a target platform. Please see Virgo Concepts for more details.

to 2. It seems you are trying to deploy the Manifest file alone. You will have to create a bundle first before deploying your application via admin console.

to 3. I migrated the example you mentioned above to Virgo a year ago when I was looking for an example for Dockerizor. There is a short instruction available online.

The generated Dockerfile should give you an impression what has to be done to run your JAX-RS application within Virgo:

install Java 7
download Virgo Jetty Server 3.6.3.RELEASE

Add JavaSE-1.7 to the profile:

RUN sed -i 's/JavaSE-1.6/JavaSE-1.6,\\\n JavaSE-1.7/' /home/virgo/configuration/java6-server.profile

Switch the Jetty port to 9090:

RUN sed -i 's/8080/9090/' /home/virgo/configuration/config.ini

Add required Jetty bundles to ${VIRGO_HOME}/repository/ext

RUN curl -L -o /home/virgo/repository/ext/org.eclipse.equinox.http.jetty_3.0.1.v20121109-203239.jar http://archive.eclipse.org/equinox/drops/R-3.8.2-201302041200/org.eclipse.equinox.http.jetty_3.0.1.v20121109-203239.jar
RUN curl -L -o /home/virgo/repository/ext/org.eclipse.equinox.http.servlet_1.1.300.v20120912-130548.jar http://archive.eclipse.org/equinox/drops/R-3.8.2-201302041200/org.eclipse.equinox.http.servlet_1.1.300.v20120912-130548.jar
RUN curl -L -o /home/virgo/repository/ext/com.google.gson_2.1.0.v201303041604.jar http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/R20140114142710/repository/plugins/com.google.gson_2.1.0.v201303041604.jar

Add required JAX-RS dependencies to ${VIRGO_HOME}/repository/usr

ADD publisher-4.1.jar /home/virgo/repository/usr/
ADD provider-gson-2.0.jar /home/virgo/repository/usr/
ADD jersey-all-2.10.1.jar /home/virgo/repository/usr/
ADD gson-2.2.4.jar /home/virgo/repository/usr/

Add the packaged example bundle to ${VIRGO_HOME}/repository/usr:

ADD jax-rs.jar /home/virgo/repository/usr/

Tell Virgo to pick up your application:

ADD jax-rs-example.plan /home/virgo/pickup/

Regards, florian

All files as you write added to virgo. But I have a problem with gradler. I type the following command: gradlew build osgi.rest.example gradler returns me the message: FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong: Project 'osgi.rest.example' not found in root project 'dockerizor' What is wrong? — wojas., Aug 13 '15 at 10:23
A blind guess is that you need to change into the examples folder. Could that be? — Florian Waibel, Aug 13 '15 at 11:34
