Hi Sergey,

did you ever try deploying servlets (to serve calls to RESTful services) on Felix or did you only work on the CXF JAX-RS implementation? I am curious as to whether the OSGi HTTP server can handle servlets for this purpose. I have a feeling that it may not support a web.xml. I want to compare some performance metrics between such different implementations - any
ideas will be greatly welcomed.

Many regards
Demetris

Hi

Yes, we do, it is the CXF JAXRS implementation which is embedded inside the
DOSGI RI but given that the RI is based on CXF it's probably can be
expected. But DOSGi is an open spec.

Can I conceivably run this particular REST GreeterService and its
client on any OSGi Web
Server (how about Knopflerfish) with the  JAX-RS libraries.

You should have no problems publishing (RESTful) services on Knopflerfish as
the DOSGI RI DSW component relies on the OSGI ServiceListener. It won't be
possible to run the (REST GreeterService) client on Knopflerfish though
untill it implements the relevant OSGI spec (RFC 119 ?), but it should not
be too difficult to do. In meantime the only option on the client side is to
load the bundles containing code explicitly consuming a remote service
(using proxy-based or http-centric api)...

cheers, Sergey

In other words, without trying to make this too convoluted, my question is do you guys use your
own implementation of JAX-RS (instead of Jersey etc.).

Thanks again

Hi Sergey,

I followed up on your info below in the distribution baseline - thanks, things are making a bit
more sense now.

Equinox in your examples so I am assuming the answer is yes.
What do you guys add to such a service with the cxf-dosgi-ri-singlebundle-distribution_1.0.0? The reason I am asking is because I want to connect the REST service with its client by
over p2p instead of over HTTP.

Thanks

Hi

Have a look please at

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/dosgi/trunk/samples/greeter_rest/

it is indeed virtually identical to a soap based greeter demo but
the difference is here :

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/dosgi/trunk/samples/greeter_rest/int
erface/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/dosgi/samples/greeter/rest/GreeterSe
rvice.java

(note JAXRS annotations)

and here :

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/dosgi/trunk/samples/greeter_rest/int
erface/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/dosgi/samples/greeter/rest/GreeterSe
rvice2.java

(has no annotations at all) but GreeterService2 uses this model :
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/dosgi/trunk/samples/greeter_rest/int
erface/src/main/resources/OSGI-INF/cxf/jaxrs/GreeterService2-model.xml

some more info is here :

hope it helps

Hi Sergey,

    you mentioned in the blog that users can now expose bundles/beans as

SOAP and
REST services. I looked over the example listed on the D-OSGi web site but both Greeter examples are the same for SOAP and REST - unless I am missing something.
Do you have any examples of RESTful bundles?

Thanks
