I've been trying to get to the bottom of this for a couple weeks now, and I'm stuck....
I'll try to keep things as short as possible, but basically, I have a soap webservice created with the camel cxf component, running in karaf 3.0.3, java 8 update 25, camel 2.15.2, cxf 3.0.4 (simple sample project linked at the end) And if the jolokia-osgi bundle is installed, every call to my webservice results in a rather nasty stack trace in the log file: 2015-07-18 14:37:03,379 | WARN | qtp23458725-67 | Response | 71 - org.eclipse.jetty.aggregate.jetty-all-server - 8.1.15.v20140411 | Committed before 401 null 2015-07-18 14:37:03,379 | WARN | qtp23458725-67 | AbstractHttpConnection | 71 - org.eclipse.jetty.aggregate.jetty-all-server - 8.1.15.v20140411 | /cxf/test/ java.lang.IllegalStateException: Committed at org.eclipse.jetty.server.Response.resetBuffer(Response.java:1154)[71:org.eclipse.jetty.aggregate.jetty-all-server:8.1.15.v20140411] at org.eclipse.jetty.server.Response.sendError(Response.java:317)[71:org.eclipse.jetty.aggregate.jetty-all-server:8.1.15.v20140411] at org.eclipse.jetty.server.Response.sendError(Response.java:419)[71:org.eclipse.jetty.aggregate.jetty-all-server:8.1.15.v20140411] at javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponseWrapper.sendError(HttpServletResponseWrapper.java:137)[65:org.apache.geronimo.specs.geronimo-servlet_3.0_spec:1.0.0] at org.jolokia.osgi.security.BasicAuthenticationHttpContext.handleSecurity(BasicAuthenticationHttpContext.java:49)[144:org.jolokia.osgi:1.3.1] at org.ops4j.pax.web.service.jetty.internal.HttpServiceServletHandler.doHandle(HttpServiceServletHandler.java:68)[80:org.ops4j.pax.web.pax-web-jetty:3.1.4] at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ScopedHandler.handle(ScopedHandler.java:137)[71:org.eclipse.jetty.aggregate.jetty-all-server:8.1.15.v20140411] ... I abbreviated the trace, the full stack can be found in the jira link further down, but you can see in the stack it's trying to call the org.jolokia.osgi.security.BasicAuthenticationHttpContext, which is bizzare Ok, so first thing to mention, the webservice call works fine, and works fine every time, the error in the logs occurs after the client receives a successful response At first I thought this was an issue with pax-web, so I opened a ticket over there: https://ops4j1.jira.com/browse/PAXWEB-863 Achim very nicely spent some time looking into this, and has not been able to find any issues with the pax-web code. So out of curiosity, I setup a straight CXF soap webservice in the same environment, and it works great, no errors even when jolokia is installed. This has lead me over to camel, or how camel is using CXF I've spent a few hours with the debugger but I'm really not getting anywhere, everything looks to me like jetty is processing the call through camel/cxf as it should, and then a second process is made to through the context jolokia registers when its installed, and this results in the error (because the jolokia context looks for the Authorization header, doesn't see it, throws an exception back to the client, but the connection to the client is already closed because it was handled and closed in the successful camel call) But this second call stack is mostly jetty and some pax-web classes. So it doesn't look like camel code is directly causing this. Some of my thoughts are how the webservice is registered with cxf and in turn with pax/jetty in the osgi environment, or maybe there is some kind of missing "handled" notification to jetty to keep it from sending he request to more contexts? I dunno if that second thing is real or not, just thinking outloud. I made a sample project to make this easier to test: https://github.com/erwelch/paxweb-863 I'm afraid I'm at a loss for how to further debug this, I'm not convinced this is a camel issue, but since it's the case I can only re-create this using camel, I'm hoping someone can help!
