Re: Possible component upgrades report: Apache CXF 4.1.5/JBoss WS CXF 7.4.0 - wildfly:main
by Brian Stansberry
Great; thanks, Fabio.
Looking at the weekly Possible Component Upgrades report we're behind on a
lot of minors, and I wonder if this CXF / JBossWS upgrade will let us clear
some of those. (I'm doing a bit of a general drive re this; this
webservices aspect is just a well-timed piece. :))
I did a bit of 'git grep'ping sparked by the May 13 report and then did a
bit of research into some (but not all) of the ones I grepped. The grepping is
to figure out how things are used.

Going through that...
1) It looks like the CXF update lets us update woodstox.
2) We need to research guava. One of the uses is opensaml.
3) We seem to be using the istack version that the only lib that depends on
it uses, so that seems ok, if you don't want to update.
4) We need to decide about commons.codec, which WS stuff uses, + others. We
are behind what Artemis uses.
5) commons.collections is used by WS. We are actually on the latest version
of the 3.x series, so this seems ok. There's a 4 series but I have no
clue regarding
compatibility. I believe the groupId changed.
6) Can we update opensaml?
7) Can we update joda-time? (We'll need to check the Hibernate Validator use
as well -- Jason Lee... ping!)
Best regards,
Brian
