cxf interceptor problem in osgi exec environment

Question

Dear all,

Let me briefly introduce my environment: OSGi exec environment - equinox implementation, version org.eclipse.osgi_3.5.2.R35x_v20100126 Apache CXF - version 2.2.10

I'm trying to enable CXF interceptors to address security issues in my web services but I cannot get these in/out interceptors be called. Here are some details of the problem:

I have a bundle called CXFBundle where I stashed all the modules and libraries that come with the CXF 2.2.10 binary distribution and a bundle called BundleCXFServer where I publish my endpoint with

IPersistence pers = PersistenceFactory.getPersist(); // returns the IPersistence implementation 
String addr = "http://myServerIP:8160/Persistence"; 
javax.xml.ws.Endpoint ep = org.apache.cxf.jaxws.EndpointImpl.publish(addr, pers); 

The IPersistence interface is declared inside a osgi service called DataTypeService and the IPersistence implementation (the dbproxyservice.PersistenceHandler class) is defined within a bundle called DBProxyService:

@WebService(targetNamespace = "http://dbproxyservice/")
public interface IPersistence { 
    /** 
     * Clean the database. 
     * @param list 
     */ 
    public void CleanDb(); 
} 

@WebService(serviceName=PersistenceService, 
                        endpointInterface= "datatype.IPersistence", 
                        portName=PersistencePort) 
@InInterceptors (interceptors = {"dbproxyservice.ws.security.interceptors.WSSecurityInterceptor"}) 
public class PersistenceHandler implements IPersistence { 
        public void CleanDb(){ 
                // do actions... 
        } 
} 

and in the bundle DBProxyService I also put the WSSecurityInterceptor class:

public class WSSecurityInterceptor extends AbstractSoapInterceptor{ 
        public WSSecurityInterceptor() {     
                super(Phase.PRE_PROTOCOL); 
        } 

        public WSSecurityInterceptor(String s) { 
                super(Phase.PRE_PROTOCOL); 
        } 

        public void handleMessage(SoapMessage message) throws Fault { 
                Map props = new HashMap(); 
                props.put(WSHandlerConstants.ACTION, WSHandlerConstants.USERNAME_TOKEN); 
                props.put(WSHandlerConstants.PW_CALLBACK_REF, new PasswordHandler()); 
                WSS4JInInterceptor wss4jInHandler = new WSS4JInInterceptor(props); 
                ValidateUserTokenInterceptor userTokenInterceptor = new ValidateUserTokenInterceptor(Phase.POST_PROTOCOL); 
                message.getInterceptorChain().add(wss4jInHandler); 
                message.getInterceptorChain().add(new SAAJInInterceptor()); 
                message.getInterceptorChain().add(userTokenInterceptor); 
        } 
} 

If I put a breakpoint in the first line of my handleMessage method it never gets hit. And the interesting fact is that the CleanDb() service works perfectly when the client invokes it even if I don't specify any client-side interceptor and no exception is thrown (both client-side and server-side). I cannot understand if this is a CXF-OSGi interoperability problem or just a silly error of mine in the procedure that I reported above.

Thank you very much,
