Hi all,
I wanted to report about my progress of trying the CXF libraries (2.7.0)
in syncope. The idea is to test if we can have the cxf libs and spring
webservices at the same time. If this works we can do the migration to
cxf in several steps. If it does not work we have to do all in one go.
I added the cxf libraries below to syncope-core. At first I had a lot of
test failures until Jan hinted that the cxf libraries probably collide
with the libs of the soap connector.
So I removed the cxf libs from the lib directory of the soap connector.
After this change I had all tests except for
org.apache.syncope.core.rest.TaskTestITCase.sync() working. Does anyone
know what this test does exactly. I already understood that it uses a
csv table and a user template to kind of postprocess users. As it fails
after adding the cxf deps I assume it also does a webservice call. Can
someone give me a hint where to dig?
So assumed I get this last test working the problem with the soap
connector still remains. The way I simply removed the libs is of course
just a test to see if it works. We still have to find a proper solution
for this.
One possibility is to update the soap connector to the current cxf
version. This will probably work until we upgrade the cxf version again.
Another possibility would be to remove the libs from the connector and
rely on people adding the libs in another way. As far as I understood
the idea of the connectors is that they simply work without additional
libs so I am not sure if this is an option. I also do not yet understand
how the classloading in the connectors works. Can someone explain this?
Best regards
Christian
