This is a vote to release Apache CXF DOSGi 2.0.0.
The main change in this version is to split the SOAP support from the
REST support. So it is now possible to only install SOAP support or only
REST support. The multi bundle distro still contains both variants but
the karaf features are now separate.
As a new distro style we now offer a repository pom with the bundle
dependencies which is suitable to create a bndtools index from it. So it
is very easy to use CXF-DOSGi in bndtools. There is also such a
repository pom for the samples that contains everything needed to run
the samples from bndtools. The first example that uses this is the soap
example. It contains a soap.bndrun file that can be directly started and
debugged from eclipse. This pom based repo might be a replacement for
the current multi bundle distro as it is much smaller and more flexible.
The bndtools based assembly uses the resolver to create a minimal set of
bundles for the sample. For SOAP and REST together I was able to make
this as small as 9 MB. For pure SOAP it is just 7.7 MB.
Another big change is that the examples are now based on a slightly
changed TaskList service which is easier to understand that the previous
Greeter example. The examples now have karaf features to make it easy to
test them in karaf.
Apart from these major changes I looked through the open issues and
marked a lot of them as fixed as they should be solved in the new code.
Please give feedback if anything is not yet solved.
I have not yet changed the wiki documentation to reflect the new code.
As it would be difficult to have the old and new documentation side by
side in the wiki I did most of the documentation in the code using
github markdown syntax. This allows to have the documentation closer to
the code and also will allow to look into the documentation of previous
releases.
I plan to point to the gihub docs from the wiki and keep the old wiki
contents as documentation of the 1.x releases.
You can find the new documentation here:
https://github.com/apache/cxf-dosgi
If you want to try the new code I recommend to follow the installation
instructions of the examples:
https://github.com/apache/cxf-dosgi/tree/master/samples
Btw. as usual .. until the release is pushed to maven central you will
have to add the maven repo listed below to your karaf instance.
