Sample application

Hi,

When one application wants to lookup an OSGi service with "java:comp/env", or wants to specify in a servlet, @Resource annotation for OSGi service, then additional bridge is needed because otherwise OSGi services can be looked up only with "osgi" URL scheme. (I'm attaching such sample application)

According to Tomcat's documentation [1] Gemini Web can provide custom ObjectFactory that can be used as such bridge. (I'm attaching patch proposal)

The example that is attached uses this approach - see TestServlet class and context.xml.

Could you please comment?

The application can be requested like this: http://localhost:8080/test/TestServlet

Thanks in advance
Regards
Violeta
