I'm currently researching OSGi with Spring, and working through a couple of examples from Pro Spring Dynamic Modules for OSGi.
My example web-app has a single controller like:
@Controller
public class HelloWorldController {
private HelloWorldService helloWorldService;
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
@ModelAttribute("helloworld")
public HelloWorld home() {
return this.helloWorldService.find();
}
// injected in - spring looks up the service from OSGi
public void setHelloWorldService(HelloWorldService helloWorldService) {
this.helloWorldService = helloWorldService;
}
}
The view resolver is configured as:
<bean id="viewResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass"
value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/>
<property name="prefix" value="/jsp/" />
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
</bean>
Calling on the url 'http://localhost:8080/helloworld-web/spring/home' should cause the view jsp/home.jsp to be rendered, with helloworld containing a single bean:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Spring DM HelloWorld</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Results from accessing Spring-DM service bundle:</p>
<p>Message <c:out value="${helloworld.message}" /></p>
<p>Current Time: <c:out value="${helloworld.currentTime}" /></p>
<p>Model Version: <c:out value="${helloworld.modelVersion}" /></p>
</body>
</html>
However, I am seeing the following stacktrace:

Because this is a WAR deployed as an OSGi bundle, its WEB-INF/lib directory is completely empty.
My understanding was that the OSGi version of jasper would look for taglib descriptors and JARs outside of the individual web-app?
Has anyone else seen this?
