The CXF bundle has a required import on org.apache.xml.security ---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-2694 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2694 Project: CXF Issue Type: Bug Components: OSGi Affects Versions: 2.2.6, 2.1.8, 2.0.12 Reporter: S. Ali Tokmen see the thrread on: http://old.nabble.com/Issue-with-CXF-bundle%27s-imports-ts27778720.html Hello In its version 2.2.6, the CXF bundles have a certain number of imports; some of them are optional and some other mandatory. One that's mandatory is org.apache.xml.security, but I have the impression that it actually is not: I've modified the bundle so this dependency is optional, and it still is working very well in my use cases. More interestingly, org.apache.ws.security* is already marked as resolution:=optional (see https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/tags/cxf-2.2.6/distribution/bundle/minimal/pom.xml where it's clearly visible) Would it be possible to also mark the import of org.apache.xml.security* as optional as well? -- This request exists because there are many Web Services that don't actually require any security policy (stock ticker, weather, ...) and it's a pity to require to have it if not needed. Mostly that the org.apache.xml.security itself needs many, many more dependencies. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
