Hi Christian
Hi Sergey,
I am just concerned with the dependencies jaxrs brings into our projects. The architects from the projects at my company that use
camel and cxf complain about the many dependencies needed to simply do web services. So I am constantly searching how to have
less dependencies.
Currently camel-cxf needs 81 jars.
When I remove cxf-rt-transports-http-jetty there are 77 jars left.
When I also remove cxf-rt-frontend-jaxrs there are only 63 jars left.
cxf-rt-frontend-jaxrs brings in aegis/xmlbeans/abdera/jettison but as far as CXF JAX-RS is concerned those dependencies do not have
to be strictly available at runtime. ServiceMix cxf jaxrs feature adds the corresponding bundles at its init time.
Thus camel-cxf pom can be updated to exclude abdera/jettison and say aegis and possibly xmlbeans, would be up to 10 jars (abdera has
4/5 jars). Non ServiceMix camel-cxf users can add abdera/jettison dependencies if needed - perhaps camel users shoudl get an email
in case such users who do expect camel-cxf to bring in abdera/jettison exist.
Willem - do you agree ?
cheers, Sergey
These are still more dependencies than I would like to have but at least a little better. After removing http-jetty the project
still compiles without problems so I guess it could be removed.
The jaxrs dependency is currently needed and I guess it is not so easy to
remove it.
While checking the dependencies I found that the java.net repo is added in camel-cxf. I remember that recently Dan added the jaxb
jars to maven central so I think this repo can now be removed. I checked with an empty local repo and was able to build camel-cxf.
Greetings
Christian

Hi all,
I am using the camel-cxf component to attach a jaxws service to camel. Unfortunatelly the camel-cxf component also depends on
cxf-rt-frontend-jaxrs. Is this necessary? It would be nice if this depdendency could be removed or made optional.
Does it cause any issues for you ? Or are you just concerned about extra module
being unnecessarily loaded ?
I'm not sure it makes sense to introduce another camel component specifically
dedicated to handling cxf-rt-frontend-jaxrs.
Some users may have JAXWS and JAXRS services attached through a single bean
with the help of camel-cxf.
cheers, Sergey
