cannot run cxf in osgi xmlschema bundle missing (but it is installed) - osgi

Question

I am trying to run a cxf bundle in karaf. It says that the package org.apache.ws.commons.schema is missing but the appropiate bundle is already installed (servicemix bundle)
I dont know why the dependency is not solved if the bundle 785 (xmlschema) is activated. Do I need to include something else or do I have some sort of configuration problem?

Answer 1

The CXF version you use seems to be quite old. Can you test this with the most recent CXF version? Btw. What Karaf version are you using?

Answer 2

First of all, what is the state of bundle 785 (xmlschema-1.4.3) ?
If the state is resolved or active, it is ok; if it is only "installed", then there is a problem with it and the packages it exports are not available in the system.
Second, check who provides the packages imported by bundle 785. (org.w3c.dom etc)
You could have the following situation:
If bundle idb imports e.g. org.w3c.dom from one source, and xmlschema-1.4.3 imports them from another (e.g. different versions are available at the same time, or both the framework itself and some additional bundle provide it) then the framework won't resolve the idb bundle with the package from xmlschema-1.4.3, because this would lead to a ClassCastException later on.
