Roadmap about Spring 3.0 integration

[Charles Moulliard <cm...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Is a roadmap already defined to integrate Spring 3.0 in camel / karaf and
ServiceMix ? I think that common efforts will be required to synchronize
different projects together !

I started working on CXF last week and ran into a few minor snags.   I can now 
build CXF with Spring 3 and all but 2 tests pass.   The two tests are Spring 
Security related and I may have to update the version of Spring Security.   
Haven't had time to look at it yet.  (Hopefully Sergey will this week)

The two major snags I hit:
1) JMS - the default listener doesn't seem to autostart by default anymore.   
We had to explicitly call start.   Not a big deal and something CXF SHOULD 
have been doing anyway.

2) If you have a property like "setProperties(Map<String, Object>)" and inject 
a map that contains a value of an array of length one, spring automatically 
unwraps that array and puts the single object in there.    Thus, if you did a: 
MyObject objects[]  = (MyObject[])props.get("foo");
and that always worked in spring 2.5, it may not work now.   If the array is 
length 1, the cast will fail.

There is also a LOT of stuff deprecated in Spring3 so you may see a lot of 
deprecation warnings.   

The main thing I've also done is update the versions for all the spring stuff 
in the OSGi manifest to say "[2.5,4) instead of "[2.5,3)".    Thus, that's 
probably a first step.
