I have a ton of working JAX-RS in 4.0.4 with CXF 3.1.x. I didn't see
the start of this thread. What's the problem?
There's no problem. I was simply pointing out to Markus that ECF has a
Jax-RS-based distribution provider among many others [1], all of which
implement the most recent OSGi Remote Service and Remote Service Admin
specifications. I understand that many are not familiar with these
specifications and am trying to make that more commonly know. These
are OSGi standards for doing remote OSGi services and do ease some of
the development pain of doing remote OSGi services, particularly as a
way to avoid transport/impl lock-in. We also have a tutorial [3]
describing the use of Jax-RS along with remote services.
Our Jax-RS distribution provider [4] can/does use CXF. Having the
ability to select providers (or create one's own) can be beneficial
since...among other advantages...people would like to have their OSGi
services inter-operate with existing deployed services, while being able
to add and use OSGi remote services for OSGi runtimes like Karaf.
Markus: WRT SmartHome, it might be useful for you/your project to look
at ECF [5], since it's an EF mature project, is a fully compliant impl
of RS/RSA specs, and also supports several of the IoT protocols (e.g.
MQTT, etc).

Hi Scott,
my knowledge about ECF, CXF, JAX-RS is very very small.
In the past I need to get the OSGi JAX-RS of hstaudacher working in
Karaf (at least to support Karaf Features for the Eclipse SmartHome
project and openHAB etc.). The projects already exist and already use
JAX-RS.
I started using the stuff hstaudacher provides, but I was not happy as
I realized that he creates bundles that are just a collection of a lot
of other bundles.
I don't know the pro and cons of the different projects and ATM its
nothing I need to care.
The only thing I want to state is if Artur needs to use JAX-RS, he can
have a look at the Karaf feature and the work I have already done.
And last but not least, I assume that the hstaudacher does not really
work on JAX-RS anymore.
