Hi

I have problems running JSF in an OSGi environment. I am using jetty web container and equinox to provide the OSGi functionality. The structure of my application is as follows: The first bundle has all the JSF libs, web.xml and a config.xml. It looks as the following:

                       bundle1
                       ----src/main/java
                       -------de/package
                       ----------Activator.java
                       ----------JSFResolver.java
                       ----src/main/resource
                       ------ WebContent
                       ----------META-INF
                       -------------face-config.xml
                      --------------web.xhtml
                       ----------start.xhtml
                      -----------include.xhtml
                      ----libs (containing all JSF required Jars)

The structure of the second bundle is as follows:

                       bundle2
                       ---src/main/java
                       ------de/package
                       ----------Bean.java
                       ---src/main/resource
                       ------META-INF
                       ---------face-config.xml
                       ------WebContent
                       ---------index.xhtml

When running the application of equinox, the bundle1 is the main bundle where all the browser requests are sent to. In the second bundle, the 'index.xhtml' file can be retrieved the by first bundle upon request. The 'index.xhtml' in bundle 2 gets its values and properties from the 'Bean.java' in bundle 2. The problem comes when i request the 'index.xhtml', the Bean.java class is not found. I think this is because the class loader of bundle1 cannot find it, it has no knowledge of it. So i would like to ask if anyone knows how to solve this problem. If so please do assist me, i have tried all the possibilities i had..

Is it infact possible to have JSF run on multiple bundles using the same FaceletsContex? Can i be able to have seperate faces-config.xml files in each bundle, which can all be connected other faces-config.xml in other bundles? Can anyone please provide me a solution. Sample code would help.
