Hi Bernd, On your questions:
(a) instead of going the route of generating the java source code and compiling that (which should work) you could take a look at libraries like CGLib (http://cglib.sourceforge.net) or ASM (http://forge.ow2.org/projects/asm) they should allow you to do this without having to involve javac. Because of licensing issues depending on javac can be difficult if you need to redistribute your product. I think using them should work, but I never tried them with CXF-DOSGi. (b) the asterisk '*' is a special value. It means "all interfaces/classes passed as the first argument to the BundleContext.registerService() call". No other wildcards are currently supported. However you can easily implement your own wildcard logic and put a collection or array of interface/class names on the service.exported.interfaces property. (This property is of type 'String+' which is used in OSGi specs to say that the property value can be of type: String, Collection<String> or String[]) On the question of having influence on the generated WSDL, I'm not too sure about how to do that from CXF-DOSGi yet, I know that in the Aegis databinding you can control this somewhat. Maybe Eoghan, Sergey or Benson know more about how to do that from DOSGi? Best regards, David 2009/12/1 Bernd Wiswedel-2 <bernd.wiswe...@gmail.com>: > > Hi David, > > Option (1) sounds good to me.
