Classloading issue for XML with Apache CXF in Felix

Hello everyone

I have set up a test-environment for several frontend-bundles (struts, 
jsf) which use our internal webservices via Apache CXF. The basic 
configuration is working and simple webservice-calls are running fine.
However, when I am accessing some other services CXF is running into 
classloading-errors. I guess that the webservice is returning some 
error-response which CXF cannot handle.

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: XPathFactory#newInstance() failed 
to create an XPathFactory for the default object model: 
http://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom with the 
XPathFactoryConfigurationException: 
javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactoryConfigurationException: No XPathFactory 
implementation found for the object model: 
http://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom

After some research I found out that a lot of imports in the CXF bundles 
are actually optional which is why I am running into 
runtime-classloader-problems. After some more research, I found out that 
CXF needs Saxon as well as Xerces and Xalan...and here the real trouble 
starts.

Servicemix is providing the required libraries as a bundle, so I add those
org.apache.servicemix.bundles.saxon (9.7.0.1_1)
org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xerces (2.11.0.1)
org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xalan (2.7.2.2)

This also resolves fine in BndTools, so time for another round

Failed to start bundle org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xalan-2.7.2.2, 
exception Unable to resolve org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xalan [53](R 
53.0): missing requirement [org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xalan [53](R 
53.0)] osgi.wiring.package; (osgi.wiring.package=org.w3c.dom.traversal) 
Unresolved requirements: [[org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xalan [53](R 
53.0)] osgi.wiring.package; (osgi.wiring.package=org.w3c.dom.traversal)]

A lot of the xml-apis have been moved to the JDK, but not all. So I've 
added
org.apache.servicemix.specs.jaxp-api-1.4 (2.5.0)

And now I am doomed :-)
At first, it seemed Felix is not booting because nothing happened, but 
when I set felix.log.level=4 I can see endless repetition of this 

----------------------------------------------------
DEBUG: Candidate permutation failed due to a conflict between imports;

----------------------------------------------------

There are other packages as well, but this should be enough to make the 
point. Despite that Felix seems not to be able to recover from this, Felix 
is right: because the SystemBundle exports the JDK packages [1] which are 
also included in org.apache.servicemix.specs.jaxp-api-1.4 it doesnt know 
what to do.

The problem is that due to its xml-history [2], the JDK is not providing 
all classes or packages CXF needs to work. Despite the missing 
org.w3c.dom.traversal package, other packages do not inlcude all classes 
(for example org.w3c.dom.ElementTraversal which is also accessed at some 
point by CXF).

Is there any way I can tell Felix which packages it should not export, so 
I can use org.apache.servicemix.specs.jaxp-api-1.4? Or what bundles do I 
need to get full xml-processing within OSGI/Felix for CXF?

I have tried setting "org.osgi.framework.system.packages" to the list 
provided by [1] without the offending packages from jaxp but then the 
framework complains about tons of other problems.

Any help is really appreciated because I am running out of ideas.

Antwort: RE: Classloading issue for XML with Apache CXF in Felix

Posted by ma...@sdv-it.de.
Thanks for your answer Olaf.

Good to hear that I am not the only one struggling :-)
Anyways. I am not using the ueber-bundle. With 3.0 CXF was split into 
multiple modules and each provides OSGI-metadata already. Currently I am 
using 3.1.4. 

Currently BndTools resolved the following cxf bundles

org.apache.cxf.cxf-core;version='[3.1.4,3.1.5)',\
org.apache.cxf.cxf-rt-bindings-soap;version='[3.1.4,3.1.5)',\
org.apache.cxf.cxf-rt-bindings-xml;version='[3.1.4,3.1.5)',\
org.apache.cxf.cxf-rt-databinding-jaxb;version='[3.1.4,3.1.5)',\
org.apache.cxf.cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws;version='[3.1.4,3.1.5)',\
org.apache.cxf.cxf-rt-frontend-simple;version='[3.1.4,3.1.5)',\
org.apache.cxf.cxf-rt-transports-http;version='[3.1.4,3.1.5)',\
org.apache.cxf.cxf-rt-wsdl;version='[3.1.4,3.1.5)',\

I was also thinking about a R5 subsystem but this would make the 
development process quite slow since I dont have any tool-support 
(Currently I start Felix from BndTools). The only way using a subsystem I 
could use by now was a local Felix installation with the aries-subsystem 
bundles and then dropping my bundles manually to the deploy-folder. So not 
really easy to work with....

So I guess I have to embedd the jar within the bundle containing the 
client. For testing this is fine for now...

I still hope that there is some configuration-option with the latest 
cxf-version....

regards
Marc

Betreff:        RE: Classloading issue for XML with Apache CXF in Felix



Hi Marc

This looks very familiar. We've had a couple of projects with CXF 
integration. Basically, the uber-bundle they are providing introduces 
classloading issues beyond repair. We've got it to work for a customer by 
modifying the manifest of the uber bundle. But eventually, we had to 
upgrade to a more recent CXF version and had to re-do everything. Bottom 
line, the total cost of ownership was too high.

I'd suggest the following solutions (in order of preference):

1.) Don't use CXF at runtime. Instead, use the jax-* support shipped with 
the JDK. For this, modify the sling.properties to expose the relevant 
packages via the system class loader, as mentioned here: 
https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/creating-cq-bundles-consume-web.html 
/ 
https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/creating-cxf-bundles-consume-web.html


2.) Wrap your application along with the CXF uber-bundle in an application 
Subsystem to isolate it (see OSGi enterprise spec: 
https://osgi.org/download/r5/osgi.enterprise-5.0.0.pdf).

Good luck!
- Olaf
