In CXF, we have a set of features for Apache Karaf that handles all of the OSGi requirements for WSS4J: https://github.com/apache/cxf/blob/e6d432be93022b5b4ac1998a546d0652861fdff3/osgi/karaf/features/src/main/resources/features.xml#L61 So if you are deploying to Karaf, you can just re-use the CXF features. Note that it uses a ServiceMix bundle for OpenSAML which makes OpenSAML work in OSGi: <bundle start-level="25" dependency="true" >mvn:org.apache.servicemix.bundles/org.apache.servicemix.bundles.opensaml/${cxf.opensaml.osgi.version}</ bundle> > 2.
