Major Notes

  • CXF 3.1 no longer supports Java 6.   You must use Java 7 or Java 8.
  • The JAX-WS/Simple frontend ServerFactoryBean will automatically call reset at the end of the create() call.   This allows resources to be cleaned up and garbage collected sooner.  However, it also prevents multiple calls to create() from sharing the same ServerInfo/EndpointInfo/etc... objects like they would we 3.0.x.   That sharing has caused many problems in the past due to sharing of properties (like token caches) that are stored on those objects so the new behavior is more "correct", but it is different than previous versions so care must be taken while upgrading.
  • The Karaf features.xml file for CXF 3.1 no longer will install spring or spring-dm when installing the "cxf" feature.  If you require spring/spring-dm, you will need to install those features prior to installing the CXF feature.

 

New Features

 

 

Major Dependency Changes

  • The Jetty based HTTP transport has been updated to support Jetty 9 as well as Jetty 8.   However, support for Jetty 7 has been dropped.
  • Due to the Jetty upgrade, support for running Jetty based endpoints in Karaf 2.3.x has been dropped.
  • Support for using JAX-WS 2.1 based API jars has been removed.  Java 7 (now required) includes JAX-WS 2.2 so this should not be an issue.
  • No labels
