This page provides the tips on how to deploy CXF JAX-RS applications packaged as WAR archives or OSGI bundles into Java EE application servers and OSGI containers.

Application Servers

Glassfish

Verified with Glassfish Server Open Source Edition 3.1.1

• Make sure a cxf-rt-transport-http-jetty dependency is excluded during the war build
• If a custom JAX-RS Application is included then
  use a CXFNonSpringJaxrsServlethttp://cxf.apache.org/docs/jaxrs-services-configuration.html#JAXRSServicesConfiguration-ConfiguringJAXRSservicesincontainerwithoutSpring to reference the Application implementation class and disable the Jersey scanning the custom web applications (TODO: specify how this actually can be disabled)

JBoss

Verified with JBoss AS 7.1.0.CR1b

• If a custom JAX-RS Application is included then
  use a CXFNonSpringJaxrsServlethttp://cxf.apache.org/docs/jaxrs-services-configuration.html#JAXRSServicesConfiguration-ConfiguringJAXRSservicesincontainerwithoutSpring to reference the Application implementation class and disable the RestEasy scanning the custom web applications (TODO: specify how this actually can be disabled).

WebLogic

Verified with WebLogic Server 12c (12.1.1)

Specifying a WebLogic specific JSP servlet

If you configure CXFServlet to redirect to custom JSP pages then you need to add the following declaration to web.xml:

<servlet>
 <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
 <servlet-class>weblogic.servlet.JSPServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet> 

Selecting Woodstox as the default parser

WebLogic requires the following update to the proprietary deployment descriptor weblogic.xml:

  <container-descriptor>
   <!-- SNIP -->
   <prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes>
  </container-descriptor>

This instructs WebLogic's classloaders to look FIRST in the JARS from the application's WEB-INF/lib directory for Service Provider Implementations (in this case, to find META-INF/services/javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory in the Woodstox JAR) rather than to the system classloader.
