Configuration Properties
New in DOSGI 1.2: Servlet Filters (javax.servlet.Filter) can 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.
These properties are set on the Service Registration in the OSGi Service Registry.
Service Provider properties For Configuring SOAP-based services and consumers
Note: for backwards compatibility old values marked below are still supported.
...
Property Name | Data Type | Example | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
org.apache.cxf.ws.address | String {{ | http://localhost:9090/greeter![]() | The address at which the service with be made available remotely. If this property is not specified, this defaults to {{http://localhost:9000/fully/qualified/ClassName ![]() }}. | ||
org.apache.cxf.ws.httpservice.context | String |
| When this property is specified, the OSGi HTTP Service is used to expose the service, rather than a dedicated Jetty HTTP Server. This property doesn't allow the specification of a port number, as this is provided by the HTTP Service. The Distributed OSGi distributions come with Pax-Web, for which configuration information can be found | here: , however other OSGi HTTP Service implementations are potentially configured differently. | |
org.apache.cxf.ws.frontend | String |
| The CXF frontend which will be used to create endpoints. Defaults to 'simple' which is an Aegis-based simple frontend. Note that for JAXWS to work a javax.jws.* has to be imported into the interface and/or implementation and client bundles for annotations like @WebService and @WebMethod be recognized | ||
org.apache.cxf.ws.databinding | String |
| Supported values are 'aegis and 'jaxb', defaults to 'aegis'. Note that for JAXB to work JAXB packages like javax.xml.bind.annotation.* have to be imported | ||

Service Provider properties For Configuring RESTful JAXRS-based endpoints and consumers
org.apache.cxf.rs
configuration type
When the service.exported.configs=org.apache.cxf.rs
property is specified, the following properties may also be specified.
Property Name | Data Type | Example | Description |
---|---|---|---|
org.apache.cxf.rs.address | String | http://localhost:9090/greeter | The address at which the service with be made available remotely. If this property is not specified, this defaults to http://localhost:9000/fully/qualified/ClassName. |
org.apache.cxf.rs.httpservice.context | String |
| When this property is specified, the OSGi HTTP Service which is used to expose the service, rather than a dedicated Jetty HTTP Server. By default, absolute address may look like 'http://localhost:8080/auction' |
org.apache.cxf.rs.provider | Boolean |
| Can be used to identify a global JAXRS provider as CXF-compatible |
org.apache.cxf.rs.provider.expected | Boolean |
| Can be used to require global providers to set an 'org.apache.cxf.rs.provider' property with a value 'true'. |
org.apache.cxf.rs.provider.globalquery | Boolean |
| Can be used to disable queries for global providers, defaults to 'true'. |
org.apache.cxf.rs.databinding | String |
| This property has a limited value for JAXRS services as JAXB is supported by default, the only supported value is 'aegis' and it is a shortcut for registering an Aegis provider, see below for more information on how to register custom providers for JAXRS services |
org.apache.cxf.rs.wadl.location | String |
| WADL location |
org.apache.cxf.rs.provider | String, String[], List |
| List of JAX-RS providers |
org.apache.cxf.rs.in.interceptors | String, String[], List |
| List of CXF in interceptors |
org.apache.cxf.rs.out.interceptors | String, String[], List |
| List of CXF out interceptors |
org.apache.cxf.rs.in.fault.interceptors | String, String[], List |
| List of CXF in fault interceptors |
org.apache.cxf.rs.out.fault.interceptors | String, String[], List |
| List of CXF out fault interceptors |
org.apache.cxf.rs.features | String, String[], List |
| List of CXF out features |
Note that by default for JAXRS to work javax.ws.rs.* packages have to be imported into the interface and/or implementation and client bundles for annotations like @Path and @Context be recognized. You can avoid importing JAXRS annotations if you provide an out-of-band model. The way it is done in a greeter_rest demo is described here. The model files can be located in a OSGI-INF/cxf/jaxrs resource folder and can be named as model.xml or ServiceName-model.xml (ex : GreeterService-model.xml).
If you use JAXB and you would like to avoid importing JAXB packages into your application bundles then you can try registering a custom JAXB provider which is configured as described here.
Registering custom JAXRS providers
Custom JAXRS providers including CXF-specific providers can be registered like regular OSGI services, for example :
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Object provider = new CustomMessageBodyReaderWriter();
bundleContext.registerService(
new String[]{"javax.ws.rs.ext.MessageBodyReader", "javax.ws.rs.ext.MessageBodyReader"}, provider);
|
Note that when registering a global provider, one may set an 'org.apache.cxf.rs.provider.expected' on a given service description thus requiring providers to confirm that they will reliably work with CXF JAX-RS by setting a 'org.apache.cxf.rs.provider' true property during the registration - this may be needed when multiple JAX-RS implementations are available and some custom providers depending on JAXRS implementation specific code.
Alternatively, one can register per-service specific providers during the application service registration :
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
CustomMessageBodyReaderWriter provider1 = new CustomMessageBodyReaderWriter();
provider.setCustomProperty(true);
CustomMessageBodyReaderWriter provider2 = new CustomMessageBodyReaderWriter();
provider2.setCustomProperty(false);
Dictionary properties = new Hashtable();
properties.put("org.apache.cxf.rs.provider", provider);
Dictionary properties2 = new Hashtable();
properties.put("org.apache.cxf.rs.provider", provider2);
bundleContext.registerService(
new String[]{"org.books.BookService"}, new BookServiceImpl(), properties);
bundleContext.registerService(
new String[]{"org.books.BookService"}, new AdvancedBookServiceImpl(), properties2);
|
Finally, one can declare them using "org.apache.cxf.rs.provider" :
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
<property name="org.apache.cxf.rs.provider" value="org.foo.bar.Provider1,org.foo.bar.Provider2"/>
|
or, when using declarative services :
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
<property name="org.apache.cxf.rs.provider">
org.foo.bar.Provider1
org.foo.bar.Provider2
</property>
|
Service Consumer properties
On client side proxies, typically the same properties are set as on set service provider side for both SOAP and RESTful clients. There are some additional properties too. Since the client-side proxy is registered by the DOSGi implementation, all these properties are read-only.
Property Name | Data Type | Example | Description |
---|---|---|---|
service.imported | boolean |
| This property is always set on a service proxy, indicating that the real service is remote. |
org.apache.cxf.remote.dsw.client | String |
| This property is set to the bundle name of the CXF-DOSGi implementation and can be used to find client side proxies created by the CXF DOSGi implementation. |
Custom intents
Intents allow to define custom configurations for DOSGi services. In the service exports the intents are listed by name in the property "service.exported.intents".
The Intent Map
TODO
In version 1.4.0 and above custom intents are defined as OSGi services. The property name "org.apache.cxf.dosgi.IntentName" is used to mark the service as an intent. The intent name value then can be used to reference the intent in OSGi services. Custom intents can either be CXF Features or a CXF Binding Configuration.
remote-services.xml
files
The CXF DOSGi implementation provides a DSW (Distribution Software) implementation of Distributed OSGi. It is compatible with any Distributed OSGi Discovery implementation in order to discover remote services dynamically.
...
By default all *.xml
files in the OSGI-INF/remote-service location are considered, this location can be changed by setting the Remote-Service
header in the bundle manifest, e.g.

Remote-Service: META-INF/osgi |
Contributing Distribution properties to Existing Services (without changing them)
@@@ TODO check that this still works with the 1.2 release.
CXF/DOSGi allows you to add the distribution properties to existing OSGi services. You can do this by installing a bundle that contains an XML file with the extra properties in the OSGI-INF/remote-service
directory:
A sample OSGI-INF/remote-service/sd.xml
file looks like this:
No Format |
---|
<service-decorations xmlns="http://cxf.apache.org/xmlns/service-decoration/1.0.0">
<service-decoration>
<match interface="org.apache.F(.*)">
<match-property name="test.prop" value="xyz"/>
<add-property name="service.exported.interfaces" value="*"/>
</match>
</service-decoration>
</service-decorations>
|
...
match interface="org.apache.Foo"
matches any service that is registered under the org.apache.Foo class or interface. Theinterface
attribute takes regular expressions, so specifyingorg.apache(.)*
will match any service registered with an interface in a subpackage of org.apache.- The optional
match-property
tags allows you to declare extra conditions to be applied to services of which the interface matches. In the above example the decoration rule will only match services that have thetest.prop
property set to the valuexyz
. Other services don't match. Any number ofmatch-property
tags can be specified. - The
add-property
specifies the extra property to be added to the remote service. The above example addsservice.exported.interfaces="*"
which will cause any matching service to be exposed remotely. Theadd-property
has an optionaltype
attribute which defaults tojava.lang.String
. You can specify other Java basic types such asjava.lang.Long
if needed. You can have any number ofadd-property
tags.
