cxf in an OSGi environment

[David Savage]

Hi there,

I'm trying to get cxf to work in an OSGi environment and have been 
banging my head against the desk a bit, suspect it might be due to 
leaping in at the deep end but any help would be appreciated.

Ok here's what I've got working:

  JaxWsServerFactoryBean svrFactory = new JaxWsServerFactoryBean();
  svrFactory.setServiceClass(HelloWorld.class);
  svrFactory.setServiceBean(HelloWorldImpl());
  svrFactory.setAddress("http://localhost:9000/hello"; );
  svrFactory.create();

This launches an internal jetty server and when I test this using a web 
browser I can at least see that the server is running as I get a soap 
response:

<soap:Envelope>
  <soap:Body>
    <soap:Fault>
      <faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode>
      <faultstring>No such operation: </faultstring>
    </soap:Fault>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

However I've not been able to get a client working in OSGi. Initially 
this was due to code in the 
org.apache.cxf.frontend.ClientProxyFactoryBean which assumed the 
classloader to generate the proxy would be the loader of the client 
interface. I've worked around that in a local patch here by setting 
Thread.contextClassLoader.

Here's what I have on the client side:

  JaxWsProxyFactoryBean factory = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean();          
  factory.setServiceClass(reference.getInterface());
  factory.setAddress("http://localhost:9000/hello";);
  // set context classloader
  ...
  HelloWorld proxy = factory.create();
  proxy.sayHello("World");


However the client still fails due to a null BindingDetails object which 
is loaded when my test method is invoked:

 javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: Could not find wsdl:binding 
operation info for web method sayHello.
        at 
org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsClientProxy.invoke(JaxWsClientProxy.java:150)
        at $Proxy35.sayHello(Unknown Source)

Is there a stage I'm missing here?

I'm also trying to get cxf to work with an https connection (both client 
and server). On the server side I've figured out that the process has 
something to do with doing something like:

server = svrFactory.create();
                        
JettyHTTPDestination dest = (JettyHTTPDestination) server.getDestination();
JettyHTTPServerEngine engine = (JettyHTTPServerEngine) dest.getEngine();
                        
if ( secure ) {
  TLSServerParameters params = new TLSServerParameters();
  // set params
  engine.setTlsServerParameters(params);
}

But again I'm not having much luck. Is there any example code I can 
follow or that someone can post to show how this should work?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

Dave
