Summary
The aim of this page is to describe my work during the Google Summer of Code project on Fedora Repository. I have divided this page into x subcategories depending on into which part of "project's life cycle" it belongs. I have created the topic branch for this purpose in Git and all my changes are available from https://github.com/Jiri-Kremser/fcrepo/tree/fcrepo-452.

Because the CXF uses internally the Spring framework, I had to attach the Spring jars to the installed fedora client ($FEDORA_HOME/client) see GSoC Project Summary#fedoraHomeSummary#Fedora home directory
WSDL to Java code generation

Changes to the installation process

The purpose of the Maven module fcrepo-installer is to install the repository and deploy it to the bundled tomcat. During this phase the $FEDORA_HOME directory is created and some config and other files are copied there. In this phase the Spring application configs are also modified depending on the values in the installation config, which is passed to the installation jar file as a parameter.
Fedora home directory
Because the CXF needs Spring in the runtime, I had to copy the spring jars, and of course the other jars which CXF needs, into the client/lib directory. This is done in fedora-home.xml config. In the same file the new (MTOMized) WSDLs are marked for copying.
The scripts for running the Swing client are copied to Fedora home directory. Unfortunately, the CFX bundled jar cannot be simply copied into the $FEDORA_HOME/client/lib whose content is all linked to the installation jar by the java.endorsed.dirs JVM param. It needs to be directly on classpath by using the -cp JVM option, therefore I have introduced the new variable in this config and its value is then written in the bash/bat script.
If the name of the CXF jar bundle is changed (it is imo not likely) or Fedora start to use dependency system as I proposed in 1 or 2, the value in this config has to be changed in order to allow the Swing client to run.
