Hi Josh
I'm trying to publish a rest-style web service from an OSGI bundle.
You're ahead of us in trying to do it :-).
I've not had time at all to look into publishing JAXRS endpoint into OSGI
containers but I will.
I'll definitely look into making sure CXF JAXRS-based endpoints play nice in the OSGI environment too. In fact I'd expect them to
work and eventually be accessible in the Distributed OSGI environment too.
I've installed the cxf-bundle-2.2-SNAPSHOT.jar bundle (built from the trunk today) into apache felix. Here's the code, copied
directly from the cxf documentation.
JAXRSServerFactoryBean sf = new JAXRSServerFactoryBean();
sf.setResourceClasses(SampleRestServiceImpl.class);
sf.setAddress("http://localhost:8000/";);
sf.create();
I'll need to have a look and see what is that JAXRSServerFactoryBean is missing, as compared to Endpoint.publish. It's either
setting the default bus or context loader is wrong.
One hack I used to rely upon is to setting a thread context loader to the one which loaded say JAXRSServerFactoryBean.class just
before the code you do above, this will be an OSGI container class loader and often it helped.
Another thing to try is Spring OSGI. It works in most cases really. In this case you'd need to use jaxrs:server configuration and
put it into META-INF/spring in your bundle.
For ex, if you look at [1], you can see all the spring bundles which need to be installed (I think you can fine spring bundles which
encompass all of them so you'd need to install up to 2-3 bundles max) :
// the first 5 bundles are Spring bundles, we used a single Spring bundle (spring.jar or spring-all.jar ?) available from Spring
repo earlier :
start
file:${maven.repo.local}/org/springframework/spring-core/${spring.version}/spring-core-${spring.version}.jar
start
file:${maven.repo.local}/org/springframework/spring-beans/${spring.version}/spring-beans-${spring.version}.jar
start
file:${maven.repo.local}/org/springframework/spring-context/${spring.version}/spring-context-${spring.version}.jar
start
file:${maven.repo.local}/org/aopalliance/com.springsource.org.aopalliance/1.0.0/com.springsource.org.aopalliance-1.0.0.jar
start
file:${maven.repo.local}/org/springframework/spring-aop/${spring.version}/spring-aop-${spring.version}.jar
// Spring OSGI bundles
start
file:${maven.repo.local}/org/springframework/osgi/spring-osgi-io/${spring.osgi.version}/spring-osgi-io-${spring.osgi.version}.jar
start
file:${maven.repo.local}/org/springframework/osgi/spring-osgi-core/${spring.osgi.version}/spring-osgi-core-${spring.osgi.version}.jar
start
file:${maven.repo.local}/org/springframework/osgi/spring-osgi-extender/${spring.osgi.version}/spring-osgi-extender-${spring.osgi.version}.jar
So if you drop those ones into Felix and then deploy a JAXRS bundle with the Spring config involved then it might work just fine.
You might want tosave yourself some time and quickly try a ServiceMix4 distribution which uses Felix and has all the Spring and
Soring OSGI bundles preinstalled
Let me know how it all goes please and in meantime I'll try to fix the direct
endpoint publication

The stack trace I'm getting is this:

Publishing wsdl-based web services using Endpoint.publish(address, webService)
works just fine.
Any ideas what's up with my JAX-RS code / configuration?
Thanks,
Josh
