Hello
In its version 2.2.6, the CXF bundles have a certain number of imports; some of
them are optional and some other mandatory.
One that's mandatory is org.apache.xml.security, but I have the impression that
it actually is not: I've modified the bundle so this dependency is optional,
and it still is working very well in my use cases.
More interestingly, org.apache.ws.security* is already marked as
resolution:=optional (see
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/tags/cxf-2.2.6/distribution/bundle/minimal/pom.xml
where it's clearly visible)
Would it be possible to also mark the import of org.apache.xml.security* as
optional as well?
--
This request exists because there are many Web Services that don't actually
require any security policy (stock ticker, weather, ...) and it's a pity to
require to have it if not needed. Mostly that the org.apache.xml.security
itself needs many, many more dependencies.
