I try to run RWT with JFace on WAS8 using the OSGi Feature. I can run my demo app, but resources (JS, Images) are missing. I have found out that the resources are unpackaged into the web application's installation directory, but the resources are registered via HttpService#registerResource() with the OSGi Bundle Data directory, which is not the same on WAS8.

The web application's installation directory (that is fetched by org.eclipse.rwt.internal.engine.ApplicationContextConfigurator#setContextDirectory by invoking javax.servlet.ServletContext#getRealPath( String )) has the value

C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\WAS8\AppServer\profiles\RWT\wstemp\WABS\ABSALOMNode05\server1_null\org.eclipse.rap.rwt.demo.eba..1.0.0.qualifier\org.eclipse.equinox.http.embedded.web..1.0.0.qualifier.war

whereas the OSGi Bundle Data directory (that is fetched by org.eclipse.rap.rwt.osgi.internal.ApplicationLauncherImpl#getLocation() by invoking org.osgi.framework.BundleContext#getDataFile( String )) is

C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\WAS8\AppServer\profiles\RWT\temp\Aries\osgicache\server1\org.eclipse.osgi\bundles\66\data\store\org.eclipse.osgi\bundles\17\data\store\org.eclipse.osgi\bundles\2\data\rwtcontext_63613163_63451956


Unfortunately, the resources are unpackaged into the first directory, whereas the ResourceServlet searches within the second.
Copying the resources to the second directory directory would not be a good solution because the OS (win x64) does not allow such long filenames. :-/
I guess, the ResourcesServlet should be initialized with the first directory to work on WAS8.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install an EBA containing the HTTP Service and RWT + RWT OSGi Integration
2. Open a resource URL, e.g. http://..../<httpServiceServlet>/rwt-resources/resource/static/image/blank.gif.
3.You'll get a 404 error from the ResourceServlet that was registered by RWT via HttpService#registerResource().
