| Re: [osgi-users] JAX-RS Whiteboard update question |
Hi Dirk, we have an alternative implementation of the JaxRs Whiteboard that uses Jersey. We currently working on making this implementation fully spec compliant. In addition to that we working on using this implementation with the upcoming Jakarta renaming changes. This implementation will then move to the OSGi technology project at the Eclipse Foundation. Currently you find the latest version at maven central og.geckoprojects.rest:org.gecko.rest.jersey:4.0.11 The project is currently located at Gitlab https://gitlab.com/geck.io/geckoREST. This version will not further developed. Instead we work on a spec compliant version that will move to Eclipse/OSGi Technology. The Gitlab Version is not fully spec compliant! The plan is to have everything done within this year. If you have further question, just contact us.

Yes you are right. I was talking about the Apache Aries JAX-RS Whiteboard reference implementation. Sorry for missing this detail in the question. Is there an alternative implementation available anywhere? I only know this one.
Anyhow, thanks for the explanation. That makes it clear. I was simply confused by the naming then. I just noticed that after the update (Aries JAX-RS Whiteboard AND required Java version) the size of the executable JAR increased from 12 MB to 17 MB. And I was wondering if this is mainly caused by the Java update (8 -> 11) or if there are jars included that shouldn’t be there.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards Von: Tim Ward <timothyjward.oss@xxxxxxxxx>
Hi Dirk,
At a guess you have updated to the latest release of Apache Aries JAX-RS Whiteboard? The implementation used to repackage CXF as an implementation detail, making it easer to deploy. Over time, however, it became a significant maintenance problem trying to keep pace with CXF’s releases (there are quite a few CVEs raised against CXF). Aries JAX-RS users indicated that they would prefer to be able to update CXF to pick up these security fixes without having to rebuild Aries JAX-RS, so Aries JAX-RS stopped bundling CXF and started using it as a “normal” dependency.
As you can see it has nothing to do with the specification, and is just an implementation choice. I hope this helps to answer your question.
As for specifically why:
All the best,
Tim
