Description

Hard to tell if this is a problem with the Karaf configuration or a bug in CXF. When trying to evaluate CXF DOSGi using Karaf 3.0.3, I encountered a bug where the same port is registered twice in jetty for the SOAP interface on the remote-service hosting instance of Karaf. I had the same problem for both Karaf feature repository versions 1.7.0-SNAPSHOT and 1.6.0. I tried using DOSGi version 1.4.0 and the problem does not occur.

Its easy to reproduce:
1. Download and extract karaf 3.0.3 from http://karaf.apache.org/index/community/download.html

2. In the extracted karaf directory, modify etc/org.apache.karaf.features.repos.cfg and change the cxf-dosgi version from latests to 1.6.0 (or leave as LATEST to use snapshot)

3. Start karaf with ./bin/karaf , and use feature:repo-add cxf-dosgi to add the cxf feature repo

4. Install cxf dosgi distributed discovery using the command
feature:install cxf-dosgi-distributed-discovery

5. Install the sample CXF DOSGi Discovery demo service implementation and API per http://cxf.apache.org/dosgi-discovery-demo-page.html

6. Start the services

7. Check the log file data/log/karaf.log There will be some stack traces resulting from the failure to bind the random port selected

8. Using lsof -i:<port> you can verify that the port is already bound to the process id of the running karaf instance
