I don't understand the diagram you show nor what you mean by bridging, but you might want to consider looking at geronimo 3. We have tomcat and jasper running in an osgi environment and can deploy WABs and also EE wars as osgi bundles. I believe you can (as of a few days ago) look up the bundle/bundle context in jndi and get it injected into your ee components.
Whether or not this is something you want to look into I'd suggest you look into a container that supports WABs. thanks david jencks On Nov 5, 2010, at 9:02 PM, Misha Koshelev wrote: > Dear All: > > My sincerest apologies if this is the wrong forum for this question.
