    Description

      The provided patch will add OSGi information to bundle manifest. A bundle activator class makes the MyFaces framework aware that it is running in a bundle environment. A bundle classloader is used to load classes and resources from the bundle classpath. The patch doesn't require any new runtime dependencies and doesn't affect class loading in a non-OSGi environment. Though, small modifications to classloading were needed. This was mainly replacing Thread.currentThread.getContextClassLoader() with ClassUtils methods.

      To run MyFaces in an OSGi environment both bundles (myfaces-api and myfaces-impl) have to be started in the OSGi container. Additionally, the myfaces-impl bundle has to be made available to myfaces-api. Use a fragment bundle with myfaces-api as Fragment-Host and myfaces-impl as Required-Bundle.
