CXF 3.1 in OSGi container (equinox)
Hi,
Can someone explain me how to run CXF 3.1 in OSGi container? The manifest of
cxf-2.3.1.jar looks OK, but there are a lot of missing libraries in the lib
directory of the distribution. Finally I have managed to find and resolve
all missing constraints, but then CXF had some class loading issues.
Maybe CXF is not supporting OSGi fully at the moment? If it suports OSGi
some tutorial is must have thing for the developers.
BR,
Łukasz

To get all the CXF dependencies bundles to be OSGi ready is not an easy
thing, that is why ServiceMix spends lots of time to wrap the bundles
itself.
By using these bundles with Karaf will save lots of your time, and with
the Service CXF features you can install these bundles just by typing a
simple command line as Freeman had said before.

Yep. That is definitely the easiest thing to look at. At the very least,
even if you don't end up using it as is, it would be a good thing to look at
to see what bundles it has installed and running by default. As Willem
said, getting all of them isn't easy as a lot of the CXF deps are not OSGi
bundles so they need to be mapped to the equivalent SMX bundle and such.
We've done that mapping and such for Talend Service Factory which could really
save you some time and effort.

I read some days ago on Dan Kulp´s blog that Talend released the first
version of Talend Service Factory.
http://www.dankulp.com/blog/?p=285
The interesting thing for you is that it contains a complete osgi
container with Karaf and all dependencies for CXF.
That should make it much easier for you.
I also struggled for a while to get CXF running in an Eclipse RCP
GUI. From what I learned you need the osgi ready dependencies and you
also have to tune the
starter as CXF needs some more current libs of java apis on the boot
class path.

Hi,
CXF fully support OSGi, ensure you use cxf-bundle-2.3.1.jar(which is
OSGi friendly) in OSGi container, also you need install several other
OSGi bundles(which isn't in CXF distributions) to make cxf-
bundle-2.3.1.jar resolved successfully, I must say figure out all
those OSGi bundles which make cxf-bundle.jar work correctly isn't a
simple task. Fortunately some other project such as Apache Servicemix
4.x(configurable to use equinox or felix as OSGi runtime core) already
do it for you, cxf feature (feature item in servicemix/karaf
baiscally means a set of bundles) get installed out of box and also
with Servicemix 4.x kit there're several cxf related examples which
you can quickly grasp the basic idea that how to use cxf in OSGi
container.
