CXF DOSGi is ignoring annotations

Question

I am using an JAX-RS example. This example contains two RESTful webservices, one with annotations and another without.

I build it with maven and deploy it into Felix, together with CXF DOSGi single bundle distribution. The one without annotations works fine, however the other with annotations seems to be ignored at all. I get the following message in the log:

Answer 1

The problem was that I had org.apache.servicemix.specs.jsr311-api-1.1 in my bundles. When I removed it, JAX-RS annotations were processed.
