Hello Willem, there is no Spring 4 involved. Unless you add camel-test-spring 2.14.0 as a dependency, which I have not done at this point in time. camel-spring 2.14.0 pulls in Spring 3.2.11.RELEASE as its dependency.
Same with the Karaf features. Installing my feature with the descriptor above leads to the following features to be installed: karaf@root()> feature:list -i |grep -i spring spring-dm | 1.2.1 | x | spring-3.0.2 | Spring DM support spring | 3.2.11.RELEASE_1 | x | spring-3.0.2 | Spring 3.2.x support spring-jms | 3.2.11.RELEASE_1 | x | spring-3.0.2 | Spring 3.2.x JMS support spring-oxm | 3.2.11.RELEASE_1 | x | spring-3.0.2 | Spring 3.2.x OXM support spring-tx | 3.2.11.RELEASE_1 | x | spring-3.0.2 | Spring 3.2.x Transaction (TX) support spring-web | 3.2.11.RELEASE_1 | x | spring-3.0.2 | Spring 3.2.x Web support camel-spring | 2.14.0 | x | camel-2.14.0 | camel-spring-ws | 2.14.0 | x | camel-2.14.0 | karaf@root()> bundle:list |grep -i spring 88 | Active | 50 | 2.14.0 | camel-spring 114 | Active | 50 | 2.1.4.RELEASE | Spring XML 115 | Active | 50 | 2.1.4.RELEASE | Spring Web Services Core, Fragments: 116 116 | Resolved | 50 | 2.1.4.RELEASE | Spring Web Services Support, Hosts: 115 117 | Active | 50 | 2.14.0 | camel-spring-ws For now I have settled for deploying a spring context instead of blueprint. However, that deployment is far from straight forward, too. I had to add additional system parameters to the Karaf start script. -Djavax.xml.soap.MessageFactory=com.sun.xml.internal.messaging.saaj.soap.ver1_1.SOAPMessageFactory1_1Impl -Djavax.xml.soap.MetaFactory=com.sun.xml.internal.messaging.saaj.soap.SAAJMetaFactoryImpl -Djavax.xml.soap.SOAPFactory=com.sun.xml.internal.messaging.saaj.soap.ver1_1.SOAPFactory1_1Impl Plus a dynamic import header in the manifest of my bundle: DynamicImport-Package: * Without those additions I end up with this in the log: Caused by: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Unable to create MessageFactory: Provider for javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory cannot be found at javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory.newInstance(MessageFactory.java:90)[:2.4.0] at org.springframework.ws.soap.saaj.SaajSoapMessageFactory.afterPropertiesSet(SaajSoapMessageFactory.java:147)[115:org.springframework.ws:2.1.4.RELEASE] ... 16 more The original exception, which is only visible in the debugger, sais: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Provider org.apache.axis2.saaj.SAAJMetaFactoryImpl not found Ralf -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Bundle-using-camel-spring-ws-failes-to-deploy-in-Karaf-tp5758291p5758358.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
