Re: [jetty-user] starting an android.app.Activity inside serverside code on i-jetty-2.2

Hi,

If you look at the HelloWorld.java servlet class in the hello
webapp in the i-jetty srcs, you will see that webapps deployed
with i-jetty will have an android ContentResolver and an android 
Context (that of i-jetty) pushed into the servlet context attributes.
Here's the snippet:

     /* ------------------------------------------------------------ */
     public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
     {
         super.init(config);
         //to demonstrate it is possible
         Object o = config.getServletContext().
                    getAttribute("org.mortbay.ijetty.contentResolver");
         android.content.ContentResolver resolver =
                   (android.content.ContentResolver)o;
         android.content.Context androidContext =
                   (android.content.Context)config.getServletContext().
                   getAttribute("org.mortbay.ijetty.context");
         proofOfLife = androidContext.getApplicationInfo().packageName;
     }

We make sure that the webapps' parent classloader is the android
loader that loaded i-jetty, so they have access to the android classes.

Hope that answers the questions,
Jan
