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

             Summary: Karaf features.xml for CXF wants to load EhCache for 
cxf-sts-ws and cxf-ws-security
                 Key: CXF-4278
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-4278
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: OSGi
    Affects Versions: 2.6, 2.6.1
         Environment: Apache Karaf 2.2.6 + Felix OSGi Container
            Reporter: Scott Parkerson
            Priority: Minor


According to the [migration 
guide|http://cxf.apache.org/docs/26-migration-guide.html]:
{quote}
EhCache is now a compile time dependency of the cxf-rt-ws-security module to 
support caching and replay detection. It can be safely excluded downstream, at 
the expense of weakening the caching support.
{quote}
If that is the case, then why force a user to load a specific version of 
EhCache in the features.xml file for CXF? This breaks cases where, for 
instance, a user wants to use an EhCache compatible with old-school Hibernate 
(3.3.2) which requires net.sf.ehcache;version=[1.2.3, 2.0.0).

Furthermore, it appears that there is no version bounding on the optional 
import of net.sf.ehcache in cxf-ws-security, so theoretically, my 
already-loaded version of EhCache should work just fine with CXF. :D

Note: Setting this to a minor issue as it can be worked around by installing 
the features with {{--no-clean}} in Karaf and then removing the EhCache 
provided by CXF's features.
