Hi Folks,
There's a new version of the ECF JaxRS Distribution Provider [1]. This
provider implements OSGi R7 Remote Services [2] via the JaxRS support in
Apache CXF 3.3 or Jersey 2.28.
In practice, this means that any JaxRS-annotated service can be exported
as a Remote Service in any OSGI R6+ environments by adding
OSGi-standardized service properties. An example of running such an
example in Karaf is documented here [3] with all example source
available here [1].
CXF can of course be extended and/or configured to support custom
serialization, security, or other use-case specific distribution needs,
all within the JaxRS-standardized extension mechanisms supported by
CXF...or by CXF-specific extension mechanisms if desired.
OSGi R7 Remote Services has asynchronous remote services [4], service
intents, remote service admin, configurable and extensible service
discovery, and service dynamics, as well as OSGi versioning, proxy
creation...all integrated-via spec with any frameworks built upon the
OSGi service registry (DS, etc).
ECF also now has a Bndtools 4.2+ workspace and templates for creating
and running remote services with Bndtools [5]. These provide the repos
for the necessary bundles, as well as runnable examples and bndtools
project templates.
See blog posting [6] for these and other links.
Thanks,
Scott
