The Virgo Web Server generates automatic package imports (i.e., via the
Import-Package
manifest header) for the web subsystem’s
artifacts. This section lists which packages are automatically generated.
All WARs, as required by the OSGi Web Applications specification, and Web application bundles (see Default Web Application Bundle Headers) will automatically import the following packages:
javax.servlet;version="2.5"
javax.servlet.http;version="2.5"
javax.servlet.jsp";version="2.1"
javax.servlet.jsp.el;version="2.1"
javax.servlet.jsp.tagext;version="2.1"
javax.el";version="1.0"
In addition to the above-described imports, VWS will also
generate automatic imports for all of the packages that are exported by the system
bundle, unless an import for the package already exists in the artifact’s manifest,
or the artifact contains the package, i.e. within WEB-INF/classes
,
or in a jar file in WEB-INF/lib
. When an import is generated, it
is versioned such that it exactly matches the version or versions of the package that
are exported from the system bundle. For example, a package that’s exported only at
version 1.0.0
will generate an import with a version of
[1.0.0,1.0.0]
, and a package that’s exported at version
1.0.0
and version 2.0.0
will generate an import
with a version of [1.0.0,2.0.0]
.
