I'm not a web services expert at all...
If you put cxf jars in your app then you should not expect any
container managed web services stuff to work at all and you should
just turn off the cxf and cxf-deployer plugins in config.xml. If the
classes aren't available in geronimo you shouldn't need to use the
hidden-classes.
Another approach that might possibly work if cxf 2.2 is sufficiently
backwards compatible with 2.1.4 is to put the 2.2 cxf jars in the
appropriate places in the geronimo repository and add artifact-alias
entries for each one. It's possible that you'd then be able to run
geronimo using 2.2.
If this doesn't work.... you could revise the geronimo cxf integration
to work with cxf 2.2 and give us a patch :-)
hope this helps

Hello,
I need to use CXF 2.2 in my WAR. I have therefore included it in my
WEB-INF/lib and hidden the Geronimo 2.2 classes (it embeds CXF
2.1.4) using the following declarations in geronimo-web.xml:
<hidden-classes>
<filter>org.springframework</sys:filter>
<filter>org.apache.cxf</sys:filter>
</hidden-classes>
When loading the CXFServlet during my war's startup, a CXF extension
is activated (META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-geronimo.xml) that probably
uses classes loaded from the Geronimo-included CXF (2.1.4) causing
class definition mismatch (Cannot convert value of type
[org.apache.cxf.resource.ClasspathResolver] to required type
[org.apache.cxf.resource.ResourceResolver]).
The relevant stack trace is:

Now, since "cxf-extension-geronimo.xml" comes from a Geronimo
library (http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/geronimo/modules/geronimo-cxf/2.2/geronimo-cxf-2.2.pom
), how can I prevent the CXF embedded inside my WAR to ignore it?
It's not a package, but rather a classpath resource (it's in META-
INF/cxf) so there's no point in "hiding" a package. For example, I
tried the following, which simply led to a ClassNotFoundException:
<hidden-classes>
<filter>org.springframework</sys:filter>
<filter>org.apache.cxf</sys:filter>
-> <filter>org.apache.geronimo.cxf</sys:filter>
</hidden-classes>
This is normal, as CXF can still see the META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-
geronimo.xml resource in its classpath and still tries to load the
extension, only this time it's hidden and results in the
ClassNotFoundException...
Is there any way to get around this?
