-------------------------------------
Thanks, I'll look into that.
> WSDL dependencies should not be transitive
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-4770
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4770
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Dependencies
> Affects Versions: 2.2.x (to be reviewed)
> Reporter: Ove Gram Nipen
> Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann
>
> Some web service frameworks, such as CXF, lets you deploy wsdl artifacts in
> the maven repository. When another project (the client) depends on a wsdl
> artifact, the client should not receive the dependencies of the web service
> project transitively, since the web service is isolated.
> It is not possible to work around the problem by declaring the dependencies
> of the web service project as optional, since this leads to missing jar files
> in the web service's {{WEB-INF/lib}}.
> More specifically:
> Say you have a service called {{HelloService}}, defined in its own pom:
> {code}
> <project>
> <groupId>com.example</groupId>
> <artifactId>HelloService</artifactId>
> <version>1.0</version>
> <packaging>war</packaging>
> <dependencies>
> <dependency>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
> <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
> <version>2.5.6</version>
> </dependency>
> ...
> </project>
> {code}
> {{HelloService}} uses the {{cxf-java2ws-plugin}}, which generates a wsdl file
> and installs it in the maven repository during {{mvn install}}.
> You then have a client project called {{HelloConsumer}}, defined in its own
> pom:
> {code}
> <project>
> <groupId>org.something</groupId>
> <artifactId>HelloConsumer</artifactId>
> <packaging>war</packaging>
> <dependencies>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>com.example</groupId>
> <artifactId>HelloService</artifactId>
> <version>1.0</version>
> <type>wsdl</type>
> </dependency>
> ...
> </project>
> {code}
> {{HelloConsumer}} would then use the {{maven-dependency-plugin}} together
> with the {{cxf-codegen-plugin}} to copy the wsdl locally and generate the
> necessary web service stubs.
> If you then do {{mvn dependency:tree}} on {{HelloConsumer}}, you would expect
> to see only {{HelloService}}, not spring, because {{HelloService}} and
> {{HelloConsumer}} are isolated from each other by the web service transport
> layer, most often http. *However, maven currently includes spring
> transitively*, which is wrong.
