Hi,

We (some followers to Wink dev mailing list) were wondering if the CXF
dev community would be interested in helping to contribute/consume a
JAX-RS 1.0/1.1 API JAR for Geronimo's spec jars that were Apache
licensed.  I couldn't find an Apache licensed version of the JSR-311
spec.  I see other communities that have implemented JSR specs are
using Apache licensed of their specs.  I don't know the exact
procedure to contribute a spec api jar to Geronimo, but I don't think
this would take too much effort considering that most of the JAX-RS
spec is annotation/interface based with very few actual classes.
   


Creating a JAX-RS spec jar is definitely in our plans, but it just 
hasn't happened yet because we haven't started looking at integrating 
this support yet.  We even have a Jira open for this particular task:


http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-5095

If you'd like to contribute code for this, the easiest way would be to 
attach a patch to that Jira issue.

Got it. i mis-remembered seeing a jax-rs api jar from geronimo. Looks
like CXF uses the CDDL jar as well. May be we should ping them to see
if they would be interested.

+1 from me.

There isn't a JSR spec for JAX-RS available in Geronimo as of yet. I don't know 
where they've come from in the past, but I'm assuming they've been contributed 
by the relevant technical teams/communities.

The API jar currently in the maven repo is CDDL licensed.

Hi,

I see that several Apache projects based on JSR specs have geronimo
(Apache licensed) versions of the spec.  Should we also consider
contributing one for JAX-RS 1.0 and 1.1?  I don't see one in the Maven
repository that's Apache licensed.

Thanks.

WS-2.2 support and Geronimo.

[Rick McGuire]

Dan Culp posted an item back in January that stated:

   One thing that will probably NOT be in 2.3 is JAX-WS 2.2 support unless some
   sudden demand pops up for it.   Using JAX-WS 2.2 with Java6 is a real pain
   (requires endorsing jars and such) which is a pretty large burden for users.
   Thus, we'll probably delay this till 2.4 or maybe create a separate "jaxws22"
   module that extends the 2.1 module or something.
  

I'd like to generate some demand here.  We're trying to put together a 
Java EE 6 compliant release of Geronimo this year, tentatively targeted 
around the end of September.  One requirement for achieving that is a 
JAX-WS 2.2 release.  Information I've received from the Axis2 community 
was their version would not be available until the end of October, so we 
were sort of banking on CXF providing this so we can get a certified 
release.  Based on the above, this now looks to be in jeopardy.  I'd 
like to urge you to maybe reconsider your stance with respect to 
implementing these features.  The Geronimo server can handle the 
endorsed jars just fine (we already need to deal with that for the Yoko 
ORB)...that particular detail is hidden from the user by the server 
infrastructure.
