Download JAR files tagged by delegates with all dependencies

The class loader to load classes, native libraries and resources from the top JAR and from JARs inside the top JAR. The top JAR very often is referred as an executable, standalone or uber JAR. The class loader looks through the hierarchy of JARs and allows nested JARs. The class loader delegates class loading to the parent class loader and successfully loads classes, native libraries and resources when it works not in a JAR environment. Taken from http://www.jdotsoft.com/JarClassLoader.php, see there for more information.

There are two ways to use OSGi in server-side[1]. In Carbon, what we have done is, embedding an OSGi framework inside a servlet container. So BridgeServlet delegates all the request from the servlet container to the HttpServiceServlet registered by the http.bridge bundle. This is required only when Carbon is running inside a webapp. There is a possibility to embed an HTTP server(ex. jetty) inside equinox and start a server with all our carbon bundles. This is same as running carbon inside spring DM server. For this scenario, we do not need org.wso2.carbon.http.bridge bundles and the org.wso2.carbon.bridge extension bundle. 1. http://eclipse.org/equinox/server/http_quickstart.php
