Re: CXF WS-Policy refactoring

+1 to fixing all these things. It definitely needs a combing over. I'm 
completely OK with breaking the Policy APIs.

Some things to keep in mind while refactoring:
1. IIRC, its still only possible to use one policy version across the 
whole runtime. Seems like a bad limitation.
2. There is no support for global polices which are enforced across all 
servers. I tried figuring this out one day but got completely lost in 
the code. :-(
3. Along the lines of #2, WSPolicyFeature.initialize(Bus) doesn't do the 
right thing.

Good luck and I'll be happy to test stuff out down the road :-)

While it's already quite sophisticated in what it can do, and some of its features are really cool, like the ability to add JAXB derived assertions, the ability to attach policy expressions externally and inline from Spring using WSPolicyFeature, etc, etc, there're few things which need to be fixed a bit :

CXF does not allow for alternative PolicyEngine or EndpointPolicy implementations be injected anyway. This should not have any adverse affect on any applications out there, if any, which do rely on WSPolicy expressions, perhaps those dealing with WS-Addressing or WS-RM or MTOM...

If it's part of the spec, then yes, we do plan on providing it, just 
probably not immediately.   The server side parts are a bit higher 
priority to the folks that are paying us to work on it.  :-)

However, if folks would like to jump in and help, feel free to start

This is not a priority for CXF JAX-RS at the moment. Yes, that Client API looks cool, but
I believe it's not something CXF JAX-RS users can't live without at this moment of time :-).
Things like providing a UriInfo implementation, support for types like byte[], improving the URITemplating, etc
are of higher priority at the moment.

This is cool. Did you update the JAX-RS sample too?
I do have a question. 0.6 started implementing a REST client API. Does 
CXF plan to use this Client API or do you suggesting using the HTTP 
Client used in samples?

Thank you

Re: JAX-RS API version change

Hi

This update is in place now, so if you're using CXF JAX-RS then please give it a try.

Please note that a newer 0.6 version is already available, and from the user's perspective,
upgrading to 0.6 will mean that existing @UriParam annotations will need to be replaced with
@PathParam ones. It seems like the only change in 0.6 which can affect the existing user's code.
0.6 jar is not available on Maven yet, so this upgrade will be done a bit later

Cheers, Sergey

Hi

Currently, the CXF JAX-RS implementation depend upon a 0.4 version of the jaxrs-api.
I'm looking into upgrading it to support a latest 0.5 version.

There're some changes from 0.4 to 0.5 which would affect users.
The following is the list of what has changed between 0.4 and 0.5 which will or may have an effect on the
current JAX-RS applications built on top of CXF :

1. @HttpMethod annotation is no longer supported, instead
    @GET, @POST, @PUT and @DELETE annotations will be used
2. @UriTemplate is not longer supported, @Path is used instead

3. EntityProvider interface has gone too, instead it has been split into two interfaces,
MessageBodyReader and MessageBodyWriter. If you provide custom providers and you'd like to have the same instance to handle both reads and writes, then you'd have to have its class implementing both interfaces.

Existing spring configuration for injecting custom providers won't get changed, the runtime will sort difrerent types of handlers
into the right lists itself...

RE: CXF WS-Policy refactoring

Posted by "Beryozkin, Sergey" <Se...@iona.com>.
I'm slowly progressing on some of the WS-Policy refactoring, as I'm
splitting this work with some other CXF work. 
Yes, it's a good idea to enable a PolicyEngine automatically, I agree.
Lets discuss it a bit further. Do you reckon it should be enabled
on the first endpoint with Policies extensions being deployed ?

I was thinking it should be done a bit earlier, when seeing the first
policy extension added either through a spring config or from a wsdl

I am a bit concerned about this. The Policy Engine implementation is
quite
heavy now. If you look at the current implementation, irrespective of
whether the endpoint has a policy associated or not, certain data
structures
are always populated (at both client and server side).
I have a patch to enable policy engine only on deployment of first
endpoint
containing a WS-Policy assertion. (same on client side - on creation of
servicedelegate).
