1.2

In addition to providing the Reference Implementation to the OSGi Remote Services Specification, the CXF Distributed OSGi 1.2 release now also provides the Reference Implementation of the OSGi Remote Service Admin Specification version 1.0, Chapter 122 in the OSGi Enterprise Specification.

To achieve compliance with the RSA specification a major refactoring has been done on the code base.

For the new features applicable to the RSA specification, see chapter 122 in the OSGi Enterprise Spec (http://www.osgi.org/Download/Release4V42).

The following new features have been introduced:

  • org.apache.cxf.ws.port=[port number] This configuration property can be used to change the default port at which a remote service appears. When setting this property the default context will still be used.

  • Servlet Filters (javax.servlet.Filter) can now be registered as OSGi services with the “org.apache.cxf.httpservice.filter” boolean property set to true and used to secure DOSGi server endpoints. Endpoints can enforce the registration of the filters by setting an “org.apache.cxf.httpservice.requirefilter” boolean property to true

Additionally, a number of bugs has been fixed including:

  • [DOSGI-13] - The CXF DOSGi implementation needs to be updated to support the latest OSGi Remote Services Admin spec.
  • [DOSGI-24] - org.apache.cxf.dosgi.dsw.ClassUtils#getInterfaceClass() method should search through super class interfaces too

1.1

Specific issues, features, and improvements fixed in this version

The Distributed OSGi 1.1 release provides the Reference Implementation of the Remote Services Specification version 1.0. Chapter 13 in the OSGi Compendium Specification (http://www.osgi.org/Download/Release4V42).

New features in this release include:

  • A live Discovery System is now supported. The CXF-DOSGi implementation makes use of Apache Zookeeper (http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper) as the Discovery Server and provides client-side bundles for transparent interaction with Zookeeper. See the Discovery Documentation pages (http://cxf.apache.org/dosgi-discovery.html) for more details.

  • REST support for JAX-RS-based Remoted Services and Consumers through the org.apache.cxf.rs configuration type.

  • Many user issues have been addressed. In addition the following bugs have been fixed:

  • [CXF-2182] - Exceptions when remoting pre-existing service

  • [CXF-2337] - org.apache.cxf.dosgi.dsw.ClassUtils#getInterfaceClass() method should search through super class interfaces too

  • [CXF-2435] - Distributed OSGi having a problem with a custom type method argument

  • [CXF-2288] - Bundle cannot be restarted

  • [CXF-2385] - Discovery doesn't fully translate ‘localhost’ into a proper machine name

  • [CXF-2200] - Consuming more than 1 service using Spring-DM doesn't work

Known limitations :

  • Schema validation can not be done for JAX-RS-based endpoints which use Aegis databinding
