Hi
With whiteboard (
https://docs.osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/8.0.0/service.http.whiteboard.html#d0e90148)
you can register resources to be served from a bundle.
Real "static content" is best served from NGinx/proxy, but
Jetty/Tomcat/Undertow have own configs for that.
So to make it simple (serving from directory) you have to think outside of
OSGi.
With Pax Web Jetty feature comes default jetty.xml which contains this for
example:
<Set name="handler">
<New id="GzipHandler"
class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.gzip.GzipHandler">
<Set name="handler">
<Ref refid="OrigHandler" />
</Set>
</New>
</Set>
you can however configure different "handler" like
https://javadoc.jetty.org/jetty-9/org/eclipse/jetty/server/handler/ResourceHandler.html
- I can't give you XML snippet from top of my head, but you could try
asking ChatGPT :)
