Thanks for your feedback Brian!
I'll look into the list of components you shared and try to address your
questions and hints.
Meanwhile, I am sending an update about the possible component upgrades.
I'm using my registered account this time, so sorry if that causes any
confusion.
I generated this follow-up report after releasing the "Final" version for
all the components in the upgrade, which is tracked by the following Jira
issues:
-
https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/WFLY-21935
-
https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/WFLY-21936
TL;DR - org.apache.cxf:* will be upgraded to 4.1.6, 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.Final
org.jboss.ws:jbossws-api:3.0.0.Final -> Minor upgrade 3.1.0.Final
org.jboss.ws:jbossws-common:5.1.0.Final -> Minor upgrade 5.2.0.Final
org.jboss.ws:jbossws-common-tools:2.1.0.Final -> Minor upgrade
2.2.0.Final
org.jboss.ws:jbossws-spi:5.0.0.Final -> Minor upgrade 5.1.0.Final
org.jboss.ws.cxf:jbossws-cxf-client:7.3.8.Final -> Minor upgrade
7.4.0.Final
Major upgrades
org.jboss.ws.projects:jaxws-undertow-httpspi:2.0.0.Final -> Very
latest 3.0.1.Final (a de-facto minor upgrade, as the exposed API didn't
change)

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.
https://gist.github.com/bstansberry/d49c930a055a067ba99442788331b07b
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
