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

1. Make sure a cxf-rt-transport-http-jetty dependency is excluded during the war build
2. If a custom JAX-RS Application is included then
use a CXFNonSpringJaxrsServlet to reference the Application implementation class and either
2.1 Disable the Jersey scanning the custom web applications. Setting the following system property may help:
"-Dcom.sun.enterprise.overrideablejavaxpackages=javax.ws.rs,javax.ws.rs.core,javax.ws.rs.ext"

2.2 Remove jersey-gf-server.jar from $GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/modules

JBoss

Verified with JBoss AS 7.1.0.CR1b

1. If a custom JAX-RS Application is included then
use a CXFNonSpringJaxrsServlet to reference the Application implementation class and either
2.1 Disable the RestEasy scanning the custom web applications (TODO: specify how this actually can be done)
2.2 Modify $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml by commenting out a "org.jboss.as.jaxrs" extension and a "urn:jboss:domain:jaxrs:1.0" sybsystem.

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.
