Hello,
I need to use CXF 2.2 in my WAR. I have therefore included it in my
WEB-INF/lib and hidden the Geronimo 2.2 classes (it embeds CXF 2.1.4)
using the following declarations in geronimo-web.xml:
<hidden-classes>
<filter>org.springframework</sys:filter>
<filter>org.apache.cxf</sys:filter>
</hidden-classes>
When loading the CXFServlet during my war's startup, a CXF extension is
activated (META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-geronimo.xml) that probably uses
classes loaded from the Geronimo-included CXF (2.1.4) causing class
definition mismatch (Cannot convert value of type
[org.apache.cxf.resource.ClasspathResolver] to required type
[org.apache.cxf.resource.ResourceResolver]).
The relevant stack trace is:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, since "cxf-extension-geronimo.xml" comes from a Geronimo library
(http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/geronimo/modules/geronimo-cxf/2.2/geronimo-cxf-2.2.pom),
how can I prevent the CXF embedded inside my WAR to ignore it? It's not
a package, but rather a classpath resource (it's in META-INF/cxf) so
there's no point in "hiding" a package. For example, I tried the
following, which simply led to a ClassNotFoundException:
<hidden-classes>
<filter>org.springframework</sys:filter>
<filter>org.apache.cxf</sys:filter>
-> <filter>org.apache.geronimo.cxf</sys:filter>
</hidden-classes>
This is normal, as CXF can still see the
META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-geronimo.xml resource in its classpath and
still tries to load the extension, only this time it's hidden and
results in the ClassNotFoundException...
Is there any way to get around this?
