Hi Francesco,
Agree, I think a branch makes sense.

Sounds like everyone agrees with Colm's proposal to switch from Spring to CXF

I would like to volunteer for this task and provide a patch.
Wow, that sounds very cool!
Should I create a JIRA ticket and assign this task to myself?
I would say so; actually, this activity has a very deep impact on either
the core (actually exposing the REST methods), the admin console (as
primary REST client delegating all its functionality to this) and
possibly the client.
Hence, I would think that any partial commit would break the build (and
more...).
What's the best way to handle this? A separate branch from trunk to be
eventually merged once everything is working with CXF?
WDYT?
Best regards.

Oggetto: [DISCUSS] - Switch to use Apache CXF for REST interface
Hi all,
I would like to initiate a discussion about the merits of switching to
use Apache CXF to provide the REST interface, instead of the current
approach based on the Spring web stuff. Obviously, this is quite a
significant change to what's there at the moment, but I want to see if
other developers are at least open to the possibility.
Here are some reasons to switch to using Apache CXF:
a) Syncope does not use standard JAX-RS annotations, but rather
custom Spring annotations.
b) Using Apache CXF would give us access to the full power and
flexibility of the CXF stack. For example:
- We could add SOAP interfaces.
- We could use CXF interceptors...automatic support for a large
number of transports + security things like O-Auth, SAML, Kerberos,
WS-Trust etc.
c) (Trivial point) It is good to use fellow Apache products where
possible.
What do you think? It is something that either I or another Talend
person could contribute to the product. Just to give a sample of what
the REST controllers might look like, see an example from the CXF
oauth demo:
