There we use this jndi scheme. We have a special URLResource implementation that returns resource from the bundle archive. At a first glance I'm for b) but I need some time to become more familiar with the new Web Resources and whether we can remove the usage of jndischeme (at that point I do not think we can). In OSGi the typical use case is to run directly the web application from the bundle archive and the more rare use case is an expanded directory. Regards Violeta
