CXF DOSGi in Apache Karaf

Since version 1.4.0 of CXF DOSGi there is a feature for Apache Karaf which makes installing DOSGi really easy. Using the descriptions below a working demo should be up in less than 10 minutes.

Download and unpack Apache Karaf

  • Download apache karaf
  • Copy etc/jre.properties.cxf to etc/jre.properties -> This is needed in karaf 2.2.x to adjust the system package exports so CXF can install correctly
  • Unpack and start it

CXF DOSGi does not work with Karaf 2.3.0. Please use at least Karaf 2.3.1.

Installation of CXF-DOSGi

features:chooseurl cxf-dosgi 1.4.0
features:install cxf-dosgi-discovery-distributed

Create config "etc/org.apache.cxf.dosgi.discovery.zookeeper.cfg" with the following content:

zookeeper.port=2181
zookeeper.host=localhost

Installation of the zookeeper Server

features:install cxf-dosgi-zookeeper-server

Create config "etc/org.apache.cxf.dosgi.discovery.zookeeper.server.cfg" with the following content:

zookeeper.host:127.0.0.1
clientPort:2181
zookeeper.port:2181

Test installation with greeter demo

install -s mvn:org.apache.cxf.dosgi.samples/cxf-dosgi-ri-samples-greeter-interface/1.4.0
install -s mvn:org.apache.cxf.dosgi.samples/cxf-dosgi-ri-samples-greeter-impl/1.4.0

log:display should show the greeter service being exported:

Access the service transparently from a second container

  • Unpack karaf in a second directory and also start it.
  • Do the installation steps from "Installation of CXF-DOSGi"
  • Install a client to a service that is published in the first container.
  • DOSGi will automatically install a proxy for you service that calls the published service remotely over CXF
  • No labels
