Ok, great it started working for you... Do you reckon that something can actually be fixed at the DOSGI level ? If yes then indeed,
please open a DOSGI issue and attach a project. But it looks like it is a container-specific issue ? Which one were you using
originally, before switching to Equinox ?
thanks, Sergey

Damnit. I just changed the Pax-Runner configuration to only use Equinox and now the tests pass, everything seems fine. Are you
interested in a tiny Maven-based project demonstrating the issue?

Hi,
please see more comments inline
<snip/>
just one more question. I converted a plain (non-OSGi) JAX-RS project to DOSGi-based CXF. Now, for some of my JAXB annotated
classes I get the error message:
com.sun.istack.internal.SAXException2: unable to marshal type "a.b.c.X" as an element because it is missing an @XmlRootElement
annotation
S.B : Do those objects actually have @XmlRootElement ?
Yes, they do.
I use Pax Exam to set up a test case that marshalls the object to a byte[] and
unmarshalls it afterwards from it.
Do you know that error?
S.B : yes, usually it is to do with @XmlRootElement being not present or, in OSGI case, being 'lost' at runtime, due to a missing
import package value...You can condigure DOSGI RI to not require @XmlRootElement for JAXRS services...
I checked the packaged bundle. It definitely has the JAXB annotation packages imported (which is no wonder as I'm using
maven-bundle-plugin with bnd to generate the Manifest).
S.B : for some reasons there're still invisible to the JAXB runtime. One of users reported a similar issue the other day, JAXB
classes have been moved to a bundle separate from the application one. I don't recall what the fix was, it is just a visibility
issue which can be solved at the OSGI level. Please attach a sample bundle if it won't work...
How can I configure it for use without annotations?
S.B : You'll need to register a custom JAXBElementProvider as a MessageBodyReader and MessageBodyWriter OSGI service and set a
property on it (marshalAsJaxbElement). One will be able to do the same from Spring DM context once we fix the issue of
discovering well-known spring beans...
Why is CXF behaving different than "plain" JAXB?
S.B : what exactly is different ?
Just that plain works, and OSGi-based fails because of the errors mentioned above. But I
guess that's "misconfiguration".
S.B : yes, it's an OSGI configuration issue. DOSGI can't help on its own...At
the last resort try DynamicImport...
cheers, Sergey
Is it using a different JAXB implementation at all? And if yes, is it possible to switch to the implementation included in the
JVM?
Kind regards,
Daniel

Subject: Re: JAXB and JAX-RS under CXF
Oh great thing Sergey,
thanks for that answer. I just tried and it works just fine. In fact, documentation was either misleading or I misread. The
documentation says
"This property has a limited value for JAXRS services as JAXB is supported by default, the only supported value is 'aegis' and
it is a shortcut for registering an Aegis provider [...]"
which is a little hard to understand. One the one hand it says JAXB is supported, but on the other hand 'aegis' is the only
value you're allowed to use. So this confused me.
S.B : it kind of does not makse sense, now that I read it again. (CXF) JAXRS do not use (CXF)databindings as often as they use
'providers', technically both terms are probably identical, but I wanted to not require users to set this property given that
they will probably want to register say a DataBindingProvider provider delegating to CXF Aegis as OSGI service, with some
custom configuration, etc...That said, for simple cases, letting users just to do "org.apache.cxf.rs.databinding=atom" would
also make sense...
JAXB will be supported with or without "org.apache.cxf.rs.databinding=jaxb" but I'll look into simplifying the documentation and
enhancing a bit the way this org.apache.cxf.rs.databinding property is handled...
thanks, Sergey
Thanks for the clarification and the impressively fast response!
Regards,
Daniel

Hi
It is possible. It has to work, you do not even has to enable it for JAXRS; for DOSGI-RI/JAX-RS it is a default databinding
given that the JAXRS spec requires the JAXB support OTB so I thought asking users to explictly add
org.apache.cxf.rs.databinding=jaxb just to enable JAXB would be too much...
Are you seeing any issues ? I'm thinking may be I've just done another piece of the documentation which is confusing ? One
thing I'm saying there is that if you do not want to have your bundle modified for JAXB be supported at runtime as well as to
explicitly annotate beans with @XmlRootElement and friends (that is, to import JAXB packages) then if it is JAX-RS only you can
register a custom (CXF JAXRS) JAXBElementProvider and tell it to use JAXBElement internally and that is it...
cheers, Sergey

Subject: JAXB and JAX-RS under CXF
Hi list,
following the DOSGi reference [1] I see that it's not possible to use JAXB under JAX-RS but with JAX-WS. Is that correct? And
what is the reason for it?
Kind regards,
Daniel
