Hi

Can you please start a CXF users thread ?

Thanks, Sergey

I have a client who wants to use deployable microservice bundles with
REST/SOAP APIs.  Not a problem of course as it works very well.

The issue is that I'm getting a lot of boilerplate replication across the
project which is only getting to get bigger and more difficult to manage
with time.

This includes everything from basic host/port settings to security.
Obviously setting that up in every bundles is error prone (especially with
XML) and the a real headache for maintenance.  Part of the problem is that
from what I've read sharing cfg files across bundles is not recommended.
Perhaps with an update strategy reload that isn't such a big deal.  But it
would be nice to have something like:

com.foo.basic.rest.cfg
com.foo.basic.soap.cfg

and use that in each of my bundles to load basic configuration information.
Each bundle would still have its own cfg file that will be used for very
special and custom items.

Things like PasswordCallback and keystores are exactly the same.  In the
past I've always used a gateway bundle to centralize that.  I may still end
up using something like that in this project but as "microservices" become
more and more the holy grail (until it isn't anymore) this is going to be an
on-going concern.

I'm using Karaf so can also imagine using OSGi registry for creating CXF
interceptors that I might inject into the setup of each of my projects.

This problem is manifesting on the endpoints in both directions.  For
example, one of the systems I'm integrating with is JDEdwards SOAP services
which require PasswordCallbacks and http conduit settings.  But there are a
large number of these services with WSDLs for many aspects of inventory,
supply, invoices, etc.
