The multi-bundle distribution of CXF/DOSGi contains all the DOSGi bundles plus their dependencies as individual bundles. While the single-bundle distribution is certainly easier to get started with, the multi-bundle distro is more flexible wrt to sharing bundles and updating dependencies. To obtain a multi bundle distribution see the DOSGi Releases page.

Setting up Felix

(verified with

...

4.0.

...

In the distribution you will find a file called: .../conf/felix.config.properties.append. This file contains auto-start instructions for every bundle in the distribution.

  1. Simply copy the content of the whole file and append it to the conf/config.properties file of the Felix distribution.
  2. Fix the file:apache-cxf-dosgi-ri URLs in the file to point to where you have unzipped the distribution.

At the end the conf/config.properties file looks like this:

3)

Change directory to the felix framework main dir. Unpack the cxf dosgi distro there. Append the felix config from the distro to the felix config.properties. Start felix.

Code Block

tar -xzvf cxf-dosgi-ri-multibundle-distribution-1.4-SNAPSHOT-dir.tar.gz
cat 
Code Block
... existing lines ...
org.ops4j.pax.web.session.timeout=30
org.osgi.framework.startlevel.beginning=95
    
felix.auto.start.51=file:///c:/apache-cxf-dosgi-ri-1.3/dosgi_bundles/geronimo-annotation_1.0_spec-1.1.1.jar
felix.auto.start.52=file:///c:/apache-cxf-dosgi-ri-1.3/dosgi_bundles/geronimo-activation_1.1_spec-1.1.0.jar
... and so on ...

You may need to update the 'org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra' to reference the org.w3c.dom.traversal package.
Also a felix.startlevel.bundle may need to be uncommented and set to 95; that may be needed to make sure the custom bundles importing annotations will always be started after the spec bundles have been loaded.

Now start Felix:

Welcome to Felix.
