I feel a little bit like geting a Cocoon servlet to run in the

appriciated.
AFAIU, when using OSGi we only use the official API and don't depend
on the implementation, do we?
For block development we should only depend on official APIs. But the
way you start an OSGi server is not standardized in R3. And as we want
to be able to continue to have the option of having Cocoon packaged as a
servlet (or at least some of you, I don't care), we need to be able to
start the OSGi server programatically. Also both Knopflerfish and
Eclipse has a server configuration file that is used when starting the
server that differ somewhat, although the concepts are the same and many
of the properties are standardized.
What I mean is, if we use the Eclipse OSGi implementation because of
its support for OSGi R4 and let's say in 3 months Knopflerfish or
Oscar implement R4 too, changing to one of them should be straight
forward, shouldn't it?
Yes it should be straight forward. We probably will want to make the
"OSGi inside a servlet" option plugable WRT to implementation so that
people can chose.
