[jboss-as7-dev] [AS7-5869] Registering servlets directly off the root context

Hi all, I have been looking at making our OSGi HttpService implementation compliant with the specification [1] (in the context of [2]). One of the things that this spec prescribes is the ability to register servlets with an alias directly off the root of the web server. So for example you would call HttpService.registerService("/svlt", myServlet, null) in this case the servlet would have to appear at http://localhost:8080/svlt Previously our HttpService implementation would put the servlet on http://localhost:8080/httpservice/svlt instead, but this is not compliant with the spec. Would there be any issues with such a change? For example, are there certain contexts that users should be prevented from registering at? Or is there a security impact? I have made this change in the following pull request https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/pull/3448 Cheers, David [1] http://www.osgi.org/Download/Release5 [2] https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5869
