Karaf Features

What is it?

This is bunch of Karaf capabilities/features to enable a fully-fledged ESB project!

How to use?

First of all, if your looking for samples, go to the itests module.

If you want to have Osgiliath features in a Karaf 3 installation, type in the Karaf console: feature:repo-add mvn:net.osgiliath.framework/karaf-features-full/[Actual Osgiliath Version]/xml/features

Then install the feature you want (i.e. feature:install osgiliath-full)

Features summary:

  • CDI: enables Context-dependency-injection in your project, i.e. declaring web-services endpoint via @Endpoint annotation, injecting beans with @Inject, declaring them via @Named…
  • Derby: Derby file database on the fly creation: usefull for developping ;)
  • Full: all the other features
  • Functional: enables functional programming and many helpers for business programming (Guava, apache commons…).
  • JaxRS: RestFul web services with apache CXF. Model marshalling/unmarshalling with Json and JaxB
  • JPA: database persistence and transactions for your pojos!
  • Messaging: async messaging and routes: JMS, ActiveMQ, Camel-*
  • Security: Spring-security support.
  • Standard: rewrapped native Karaf or other Apache framework features: for example resolves a dependency conflict for joda time when we installed the camel-xstream and cxf-jaxb native features.
  • Validation: enable JSR339 (bean validation 1.1) and CDI-Validation on your project (annotating your Pojos with @NotNull, validating with @Valid on a method…)
  • Itests: all the features integration tests, can be consulted as sample to succeed in implementing some piece of code.
  • Routes: all the apache camel modules that have nothing to do in the messaging one.
