Thanks for your answer Olaf. Good to hear that I am not the only one struggling :-) Anyways. I am not using the ueber-bundle. With 3.0 CXF was split into multiple modules and each provides OSGI-metadata already. Currently I am using 3.1.4.
Currently BndTools resolved the following cxf bundles org.apache.cxf.cxf-core;version='[3.1.4,3.1.5)',\ org.apache.cxf.cxf-rt-bindings-soap;version='[3.1.4,3.1.5)',\ org.apache.cxf.cxf-rt-bindings-xml;version='[3.1.4,3.1.5)',\ org.apache.cxf.cxf-rt-databinding-jaxb;version='[3.1.4,3.1.5)',\ org.apache.cxf.cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws;version='[3.1.4,3.1.5)',\ org.apache.cxf.cxf-rt-frontend-simple;version='[3.1.4,3.1.5)',\ org.apache.cxf.cxf-rt-transports-http;version='[3.1.4,3.1.5)',\ org.apache.cxf.cxf-rt-wsdl;version='[3.1.4,3.1.5)',\ I was also thinking about a R5 subsystem but this would make the development process quite slow since I dont have any tool-support (Currently I start Felix from BndTools). The only way using a subsystem I could use by now was a local Felix installation with the aries-subsystem bundles and then dropping my bundles manually to the deploy-folder. So not really easy to work with.... So I guess I have to embedd the jar within the bundle containing the client. For testing this is fine for now... I still hope that there is some configuration-option with the latest cxf-version.... regards Marc ___________________________________________ Sparda-Datenverarbeitung eG AD-POR Freiligrathstrasse 32, 90482 Nürnberg Tel.: 0911/5486-722 mailto: marc.schle...@sdv-it.de Sitz der Genossenschaft: Nürnberg Amtsgericht Nürnberg, GnR 271 Vorstand: Ludwig Oberhammer (Vorsitzender), Burkhard Kintscher Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Manfred Stevermann Diese E-Mail enthält vertrauliche und/oder rechtlich geschützte Informationen.

We've had a couple of projects with CXF integration. Basically, the uber-bundle they are providing introduces classloading issues beyond repair. We've got it to work for a customer by modifying the manifest of the uber bundle. But eventually, we had to upgrade to a more recent CXF version and had to re-do everything. Bottom line, the total cost of ownership was too high. I'd suggest the following solutions (in order of preference): 1.) Don't use CXF at runtime. Instead, use the jax-* support shipped with the JDK. For this, modify the sling.properties to expose the relevant packages via the system class loader, as mentioned here: https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/creating-cq-bundles-consume-web.html / https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/creating-cxf-bundles-consume-web.html 2.) Wrap your application along with the CXF uber-bundle in an application Subsystem to isolate it (see OSGi enterprise spec: https://osgi.org/download/r5/osgi.enterprise-5.0.0.pdf). Good luck! - Olaf -----Original Message----- From: marc.schle...@sdv-it.de [mailto:marc.schle...@sdv-it.de] Sent: Donnerstag, 11.

The basic configuration is working and simple webservice-calls are running fine. However, when I am accessing some other services CXF is running into classloading-errors. I guess that the webservice is returning some error-response which CXF cannot handle. Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: XPathFactory#newInstance() failed to create an XPathFactory for the default object model: http://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom with the XPathFactoryConfigurationException: javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactoryConfigurationException: No XPathFactory implementation found for the object model: http://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom After some research I found out that a lot of imports in the CXF bundles are actually optional which is why I am running into runtime-classloader-problems. After some more research, I found out that CXF needs Saxon as well as Xerces and Xalan...and here the real trouble starts. Servicemix is providing the required libraries as a bundle, so I add those org.apache.servicemix.bundles.saxon (9.7.0.1_1) org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xerces (2.11.0.1) org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xalan (2.7.2.2) This also resolves fine in BndTools, so time for another round Failed to start bundle org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xalan-2.7.2.2, exception Unable to resolve org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xalan [53](R 53.0): missing requirement [org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xalan [53](R 53.0)] osgi.wiring.package; (osgi.wiring.package=org.w3c.dom.traversal) Unresolved requirements: [[org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xalan [53](R 53.0)] osgi.wiring.package; (osgi.wiring.package=org.w3c.dom.traversal)] A lot of the xml-apis have been moved to the JDK, but not all. So I've added org.apache.servicemix.specs.jaxp-api-1.4 (2.5.0) And now I am doomed :-) At first, it seemed Felix is not booting because nothing happened, but when I set felix.log.level=4 I can see endless repetition of this ---------------------------------------------------- DEBUG: Candidate permutation failed due to a conflict between imports; will try another if possible. (Uses constraint violation. Unable to resolve resource org.ops4j.pax.web.pax-web-jsp [org.ops4j.pax.web.pax-web-jsp [77](R 77.0)] because it is exposed to package 'org.w3c.dom' from resources org.apache.felix.framework [org.apache.felix.framework [0](R 0)] and org.apache.servicemix.specs.jaxp-api-1.4 [org.apache.servicemix.specs.jaxp-api-1.4 [56](R 56.0)] via two dependency chains.

Despite that Felix seems not to be able to recover from this, Felix is right: because the SystemBundle exports the JDK packages [1] which are also included in org.apache.servicemix.specs.jaxp-api-1.4 it doesnt know what to do. The problem is that due to its xml-history [2], the JDK is not providing all classes or packages CXF needs to work. Despite the missing org.w3c.dom.traversal package, other packages do not inlcude all classes (for example org.w3c.dom.ElementTraversal which is also accessed at some point by CXF). Is there any way I can tell Felix which packages it should not export, so I can use org.apache.servicemix.specs.jaxp-api-1.4? Or what bundles do I need to get full xml-processing within OSGI/Felix for CXF? I have tried setting "org.osgi.framework.system.packages" to the list provided by [1] without the offending packages from jaxp but then the framework complains about tons of other problems. Any help is really appreciated because I am running out of ideas. regards Marc [1] https://github.com/apache/felix/blob/trunk/framework/src/main/resources/default.properties (in my case section jre-1.8 ) [2] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11677572/dealing-with-xerces-hell-in-java-maven ___________________________________________ Sparda-Datenverarbeitung eG AD-POR Freiligrathstrasse 32, 90482 Nürnberg Tel.: 0911/5486-722 mailto: marc.schle...@sdv-it.de Sitz der Genossenschaft: Nürnberg Amtsgericht Nürnberg, GnR 271 Vorstand: Ludwig Oberhammer (Vorsitzender), Burkhard Kintscher Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Manfred Stevermann Diese E-Mail enthält vertrauliche und/oder rechtlich geschützte Informationen.
