Running PAX-WICKET

PAX-WICKET can run on any OSGi framework compliant with the R4 Core specifications. In addition to the org.ops4j.pax.wicket.service bundle the following services need to be available:

  • A HTTP Service that is R3 compliant.
  • CGLib (mvn:org.apache.servicemix.bundles/org.apache.servicemix.bundles.cglib/2.2_2)
  • Pax Logging Service (or any other SLF4J frontend) (mvn:org.ops4j.pax/pax-logging-api/1.6.4,mvn:org.ops4j.pax/pax-logging-service/1.6.4)

In addition the following dependencies are optional, depending on what you exactly require from pax-wicket:

  • Aries Blueprint
  • SpringDM

Running on Apache Karaf

If you develop based on the Apache Karaf server it is even much simpler:

1. Download the latest version of Apache Karaf (if you're not already running one).
2. Start Apache Karaf by executing bin/karaf.bat or bin/karaf (depending on your platform)
3. Install the pax-wicket features file:

4. Install the PAX-WICKET feature:

What's next

Now that PAX-WICKET is running on your OSGi environment we get a Wicket Application up and running in the next section.

    Hi, 

    Just installed pax-wicket in karaf, the features file has a new location: 

    features:addurl mvn:org.ops4j.pax.wicket/features/PAX_WICKET_VERSION/xml/features

    Should be changed to:

    features:addurl mvn:org.ops4j.pax.wicket/pax-wicket-features/PAX_WICKET_VERSION/xml/features

    (I've tried to create an account and make the change myself but this doesn't seem to work)

    Bram, thanks for noticing! I've updated the mvn: URL.

    Cheers,

    Am very new to wicket pax and osgi, so sorry if am talking rubish, but trying to run:

    features:addurl mvn:org.ops4j.pax.wicket/features/0.8.3/xml/features

    gives:

    [Fatal Error] :43:3: The element type "link" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</link>".
    Could not add Feature Repository:
    org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The element type "link" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</link>".

    but it seems to work if I do:

    features:addurl mvn:org.ops4j.pax.wicket/features/0.8.2/xml/features
