David Jencks reopened KARAF-1115:
---------------------------------


-100 This is a really inappropriate solution to the problem of running cxf, at least on trunk where kar files work pretty well ( I don't know about 2.x).

Here are a couple IMO more appropriate solutions that avoid including cxf-specific goo to confuse all non-cxf users. (I'm not trying to be mean to cxf, I don't think we should include _any_ consuming project specific configuration)

1.  Pack up all of cxf in a kar file including (in resources/etc/jre.properties or whatever files are appropriate) so that when the kar is installed, the etc files are as appropriate for cxf.

2.  Just put the configuration files (jre.properties) in such a kar and let the user try to figure out how to install the rest of cxf by themselves.

Working with Geronimo I've verified that these ideas work if you construct a custom assembly and install the app-specific kar after the karaf framework kar.  I haven't tried just installing a kar in an already built server, but I think it would work too.

Also a link to Dan's blog about this would be helpful.

> Currently users need to figure out themselves how to change the jre.conf to be able to run cxf.
> Dan has blogged about the changes necessary to run cxf correctly. 
> I propose we add a jre.conf.cxf to the etc dir so people can simply rename this to jre.conf to be able to run cxf.
> Of course a more general solution would be better but currently most people just struggle with cxf and this is a simple solution till we have something better.
