For largely historical reasons we have ended up with a setup where we use the standard karaf HTTP whiteboard service, and then run jersey on top of that with our own homebrew whiteboard service to register JAXRS endpoints.
I'm looking to replace this with a better solution, presumably based around the OSGi JAXRS whiteboard spec. and aries-jax-rs-whiteboard (https://github.com/apache/aries-jax-rs-whiteboard) since that now exists, which it didn't when we started out. Is aries-jax-rs-whiteboard compatible with karaf does any one know? Or does it depend on things that aren't provided, or rely on other things from later OSGi specs that it doesn't support? I'm finding I'm having to add in a bunch of bundles, and I'm wondering whether ultimately it's a dead end? Am I better off doing it another way? Karaf comes with CXF doesn't it? My preference is to use the official OSGi whiteboard, but if that's going to be too hard right now I'm not against doing it a CXF specific way. The only example I can find so far though looks something like this: @Component(service=TaskServiceRest.class, property={"service.exported.interfaces=*", "service.exported.configs=org.apache.cxf.rs", "org.apache.cxf.rs.address=/tasklistRest"}) Which seems, well, more complex that necessary in comparison to @Component(service=TaskServiceRest.class) @JaxrsResource What's the "best" route right now? It has to be declarative services based, and whiteboard pattern. Thanks.
