====== BundleContext in Web Application ======
Getting the BundleContext (and with it access to the OSGi container and services) in a normal Java web application is possible in multiple ways:

  * Make a WAB (Web Application Bundle) from the WAR by specifying the web app path in the manifest file and using a bundle activator. The bundle activator has access to the bundle context in via that ''start'' and ''stop'' methods.
  * The BundleContext is available from the ServletContext attributes (OSGI Enterprise Spec chapter "128.6 Interacting with the OSGi Environment"): ''BundleContext ctxt = (BundleContext)
servletContext.getAttribute("osgi-bundlecontext");''
  * ''FrameworkUtil.getBundle(class).getBundleContext()''
