JAXB DataTypeAdapter should be in its own project
-------------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-4069
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-4069
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: JAXB Databinding
Reporter: Christian Schneider
Assignee: Christian Schneider
Fix For: 2.6
When using JAX-WS/JAXB it makes sense to use a custom binding config to create
e.g. Date instead of XMLGregorianCalendar. These binding configs need type
adapters. CXF provides such
an adapter in the tools common project. I think this is not the right place as
it forces people to depend on the tools common project when the only thing they
need is the adapter. This
is especially severe in OSGi where you might want to generate your stub code in
its own project. Ideally this project should have no dependency to cxf at all.
Additionally there is the project that the optimized dependencies for cxf 2.6.0
do not have the tools common on the classpath. So the user would have to change
thei project anyway.
So I propose to create a new project to host just the adapters. This allows
people to only depend on this little project with no other dependencies.
