Sergy, I have run into a problem right off the bat. The class I need to extend, AegisElementProvider, is included in CXF (cxf-bundle-minimal-2.2.9.jar which is distributed with DOSGI-CXF 1.2). I need to reference this class from an OSGI bundle. To do so within my Eclipse environment, I first need to get Eclipse to recognize CXF as a bundle/plug-in. I copied all CXF jar files to my <ECLIPSE>/plugins directory, but Eclipse does not recognize CXF as a bundle. Thus I am not able to add the manifest entry to resolve the reference to the Aegis class.
Several of us inspected the CXF jar. Its structure and content resemble that of other bundles recognized by Eclipse. When I compare the manifest entries of cxf-dosgi-ri-discovery-local-1.2.jar (recognized by Eclipse) and cxf-bundle-minimal-2.2.9.jar (not recognized by Eclipse), I can find no significant difference. Any idea what might be going on? Thanks. -Eric -----Original Message----- From: Kampf, Eric Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2010 9:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Aegis Binding without namespaces Sergey, Thanks for the advice. I'll give this a go and let you know how it turns out. -Eric -----Original Message----- From: Sergey Beryozkin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2010 5:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Aegis Binding without namespaces Hi Eric the way you can do it is as follows. Extend AegisElementProvider [1] and override its createStreamWriter method and create a custom writer, see [2] for an example, just pass to it the writer instance AegisElementProvider creates. You just probably need to override writeNamespace(...) with a no-op implementation and writeStartElement and block the namespaces. I believe you work with DOSGI. In that case, do not use org.apache.cxf.rs.databindng property but rather an "org.apache.cxf.rs.providers" and list the full name of your custom provider. hope it helps, Sergey [1] http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/frontend/jaxrs/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/jaxrs/provider/AegisElementProvider.java [2] http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/systests/jaxrs/src/test/java/org/apache/cxf/systest/jaxrs/CustomXmlStreamWriter.java On Wed, Sep 29, 2010 at 2:15 AM, Kampf, Eric <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes the reason for this is that our primary clients are mobile devices, > some of which have very limited XML parsing capabilities.
