[ecf-dev] Consuming a CXF/DOSGi based Service with ECF Client?

[Marcus Engelhardt <bernie_bo@xxxxxx>]

Hello guys,

I am trying to consume a service which is exported by Apache CXF/DOSGi 
to a SOAP/HTTP endpoint. The endpoint is published to the ZooKeeper 
discovery which stores a note similar to the one described in the 
corresponding tutorial 
(http://cxf.apache.org/dosgi-discovery-demo-page.html). I have also 
written an ECF based consumer according to the the "Hello World" example 
(r-osgi, zookeeper) found in the Apache dev repository.

Unfortunately, the ECF based consumer is not notified by the ZooKeeper 
discovery service about the presence of the CXF/DOSGi based service. I 
am not sure why this is happening. I also did export the service with 
ECF which worked very well. Therefore, my questions are:

1) Is it overall possible to consume such a service with a ECF consumer?
2) If yes, what is necessary to accomplish this? Do I have to write an 
adapter (I recognized that both, ECF and CXF/DOSGi) write the service 
metadata in different formats to the Zookeeper node) for it?

I would be very happy about some helful suggestions. Many thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Marcus
