Hi folks,
I'solved the issue about CXF on OSGi complaining about missing JAXB classes.
In the following, I will describe my solution. Maybe this
is useful for anyone.
At first, there seems to be a difference between Equinox 3.4
and Equinox 3.2.2 causing the problem. Hence, I can verify that
CXF works fine on Equinox 3.2.2.
The setup is as follows:
- Java 1.6.0_11
- Equinox 3.2.2
- Apache CXF 2.1.2 (might work with 2.1.3)
jaxb-api-2.1.jar must be present in lib/endorsed directory of
the Java runtime.

This is a minimal configuration that works for me. Of course you have
to add additional libraries if you want to use e.g. WS-Security.

And that's it. I'm not exactly sure about what's the problem
with Equinox 3.4. If anybody has more information on that, please
clarify.
Cheers,
Fabian
