From what I understand "examples-cxf-osgi" simply deploys a _pre-built_
example from a maven repository. I want to deploy my own compilation of
the example, so that I am able to play around, modifying it.
I did locate the cxf-osgi feature inside
http://repo.fusesource.com/maven2/org/apache/servicemix/apache-servicemix/4.2.0-fuse-01-00/apache-servicemix-4.2.0-fuse-01-00-features.xml
and it does pull the pre-compiled example via maven; the relevant
fragment is:
...
<feature name="examples-cxf-osgi" version="4.2.0-fuse-01-00">
<feature version="4.2.0-fuse-01-00">cxf-osgi</feature>
<bundle>mvn:org.apache.servicemix.examples/cxf-osgi/4.2.0-fuse-01-00</bundle>
</feature>
...

To be fair, the demo README.txt instructs you to deploy via:
features:install examples-cxf-osgi
Now the definition of this feature encodes a dependency on the cxf-osgi
feature:
<feature name="examples-cxf-osgi" version="4.2.0-fuse-01-00">
<feature version="4.2.0-fuse-01-00">cxf-osgi</feature>
<bundle>mvn:org.apache.servicemix.examples/cxf-osgi/4.2.0-fuse-01-00</bundle>
</feature>
Which is why the instructions don't explicitly state that you must install
the cxf-osgi feature, the assumption being that this would have been pulled
in when you installed the examples-cxf-osgi feature as instructed.

Hello,
I'm looking at SMX4.2 (from fusesource actually) and trying to play with
the examples. I must say, I'm finding the process of deploying something
into SMX to be a real pain. I've tried both the OSGi packaging approach and
had limited success with it. This seems very unusual (deploying something
shouldn't be that hard), so I'm thinking that I'm missing something. Here's
my experience with each and I'm hoping someone will step in to enlighten a
new user:
Started with "examples/cxf-osgi":
=============================================
1) compiled with: "mvn install"
2) deploy with: "copy target\cxf-osgi-4.2.0-fuse-01-00.jar
c:\fuse42\deploy"
3) NO JOY;
Looking at the CXF servlet (http://localhost:8181/cxf) I see the service
but is endpoint address ("/HelloWorld") is wrong. I can't access the WSDL
contract, nor invoke it. So I start looking into things:
4) Hours of pain and trial and error
5) At the Karaf console: "features:install cxf-osgi"
6) JOY!
Suddenly, everything works; apparently the "cxf-osgi feature" was needed in
order for the example to work. The feature is declared in "
http://repo.fusesource.com/maven2/org/apache/servicemix/apache-servicemix/4.2.0-fuse-01-00/apache-servicemix-4.2.0-fuse-01-00-features.xml";.
What's strange is that you MUST install it _AFTER_ deploying the bundle. If
you start up the ESB, do a "features:install cxf-osgi" and then copy your
jar into the "deploy" folder, things DO NOT work (it's as if you just did
the first 3 steps).
So, in order to play with the example, every time I make a change I must
copy the jar to the deploy folder and re-install the "cxf-osgi" feature from
the console. The work development cycle is thus:
1) edit the code
2) "mvn install"
3) copy my.jar c:\fuse42\deploy
4) @karaf: "features:uninstall cxf-osgi"
5) @karaf: "features:install cxf-osgi"
6) check your code to see how it behaves
There must be a better way...
