Starting and stopping secure servers in the OSGi framework

To start secure stand-alone servers in the Eclipse Equinox OSGi framework, pass the proper configuration files by specifying parameters from the command line.

1. Start the OSGi console.
2. Pass in the authorization configuration, the security policy file, and the SSL port from the command line.
   See the following example:

   java -Djava.security.auth.login.config=/og/security/secFiles_SA/ogjaas.config -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy=/og/security/secFiles_SA/og_auth.policy -Dobjectgrid.home=/opt/XS860/ObjectGrid -Dcom.ibm.CSI.SSL.Port=7602 -jar org.eclipse.osgi_3.7.1.R37x_v20110808-1106.jar -console
   

3. Start the catalog server.
   Specify the following lines of code from the command line:

   - cm create com.ibm.websphere.xs.server
   - cm put com.ibm.websphere.xs.server clusterSecurityFile /og/security/secFiles_SA/objectGridSecurity.xml 
   - cm put com.ibm.websphere.xs.server objectgrid.server.props /opt/OSGI2/load/secServer.properties

   The catalog server is started based on the properties that are set in the ObjectGrid security XML file and the security server properties file.
4. Start the container server.
   Specify the following lines of code from the command line:

   cm createf com.ibm.websphere.xs.container
   cm put com.ibm.websphere.xs.container-1347819831596-0 objectgridFile /opt/OSGI2/load/objectgridSec.xml
   cm put com.ibm.websphere.xs.container-1347819831596-0 deploymentPolicyFile /opt/OSGI2/load/deployment.xml

   The container server is started based on the properties that are set in the ObjectGrid descriptor XML file and the deployment policy descriptor XML file.
5. Stop secure servers in the OSGi framework.
   After an eXtreme Scale server bundle is started and the eXtreme Scale server is initialized, it cannot be restarted. The Eclipse Equinox process must be restarted to restart an eXtreme Scale server.

   You can use eXtreme Scale support for Spring namespace to configure eXtreme Scale container servers in a Blueprint XML file. When the server and container XML elements are added to the Blueprint XML file, the eXtreme Scale namespace handler automatically starts a container server using the parameters that are defined in the Blueprint XML file when the bundle is started. The handle stops the container when the bundle is stopped.
