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

Hi all, 

  Following up on a discussion on Zulip [1], I am attaching a report that previews the component upgrades coming with the consolidation and release of jbossws-cxf-7.4.0.Final.

TL;DR - org.apache.cxf:* will be upgraded to 4.1.5, since 4.2.0 does not support JDK 11 (planned for jbossws-cxf-8.0.0).

The relevant upgrades are the following ones:

• Minor upgrades
• Jboss.jaxbintros:jboss-jaxb-intros:2.0.1 -> Minor upgrade 2.1.0.Beta1 
• org.jboss.ws:jbossws-api:3.0.0.Final -> Minor upgrade 3.1.0.Beta1
• org.jboss.ws:jbossws-common:5.1.0.Final -> Minor upgrade 5.2.0.Beta1
• org.jboss.ws:jbossws-common-tools:2.1.0.Final -> Minor upgrade 2.2.0.Beta1
• org.jboss.ws:jbossws-spi:5.0.0.Final -> Minor upgrade 5.1.0.Beta1
• org.jboss.ws.cxf:jbossws-cxf-client:7.3.8.Final -> Minor upgrade 7.4.0.Beta*
  
  
• Major upgrades
• org.jboss.ws.projects:jaxws-undertow-httpspi:2.0.0.Final -> Very latest 3.0.0.Beta  (a minor as a matter of fact, because the exposed API didn't change)
  
  

As you can see, all of them are currently released as Beta versions, and will be finalized as soon as testing is complete.

The plan is to finalize the component upgrade PR for WildFly within tomorrow/Monday.

I'll post an update as soon as Final versions are released.

Regards,

Fabio.
