Please see the Configuration section to learn how to supply a configuration to CXF. The following sections include just JAX-WS specific configuration items.
Configuring an Endpoint
A JAX-WS Endpoint can be configured in XML in addition to using the JAX-WS APIs. Once you've created your server implementation, you simply need to provide the class name and an address. Here is a simple example:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/jaxws.xsd"> <jaxws:endpoint id="classImpl" implementor="org.apache.cxf.jaxws.service.Hello" endpointName="e:HelloEndpointCustomized" serviceName="s:HelloServiceCustomized" address="http://localhost:8080/test" xmlns:e="http://service.jaxws.cxf.apache.org/endpoint" xmlns:s="http://service.jaxws.cxf.apache.org/service"/> </beans>
Be sure to include the JAX-WS schemaLocation
attribute specified on the root beans element. This allows CXF to validate the file and is required. Also note the namespace declarations at the end of the <jaxws:endpoint/> tag--these are required because the combined "{namespace}localName" syntax is presently not supported for this tag's attribute values.
The jaxws:endpoint
element (which appears to create an EndpointImpl under the covers) supports many additional attributes:
Name | Value |
---|---|
endpointName | The endpoint name this service is implementing, it maps to the wsdl:port@name. In the format of "ns:ENDPOINT_NAME" where ns is a namespace prefix valid at this scope. |
publish | Whether the endpoint should be published now, or whether it will be published at a later point. |
serviceName | The service name this service is implementing, it maps to the wsdl:service@name. In the format of "ns:SERVICE_NAME" where ns is a namespace prefix valid at this scope. |
wsdlLocation | The location of the WSDL. Can be on the classpath, file system, or be hosted remotely. |
bindingUri | The URI, or ID, of the message binding for the endpoint to use. For SOAP the binding URI(ID) is specified by the JAX-WS specification. For other message bindings the URI is the namespace of the WSDL extensions used to specify the binding. |
address | The service publish address |
bus | The bus name that will be used in the jaxws endpoint. |
implementor | The implementor of jaxws endpoint. You can specify the implementor class name here, or just the ref bean name in the format of "#REF_BEAN_NAME" |
implementorClass | The implementor class name, it is really useful when you specify the implementor with the ref bean which is wrapped by using Spring AOP |
createdFromAPI | This indicates that the endpoint bean was already created using jaxws API's thus at runtime when parsing the bean spring can use these values rather than the default ones. It's important that when this is true, the "name" of the bean is set to the port name of the endpoint being created in the form "{http://service.target.namespace} PortName". |
publishedEndpointUrl | The URL that is placed in the address element of the wsdl when the wsdl is retrieved. If not specified, the address listed above is used. This parameter allows setting the "public" URL that may not be the same as the URL the service is deployed on. (for example, the service is behind a proxy of some sort). |
It also supports many child elements:
Name | Value |
---|---|
jaxws:executor | A Java executor which will be used for the service. This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyExecutor"/> syntax. |
jaxws:inInterceptors | The incoming interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s. Each should implement org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Interceptor or org.apache.cxf.phase.PhaseInterceptor |
jaxws:inFaultInterceptors | The incoming fault interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s. Each should implement org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Interceptor or org.apache.cxf.phase.PhaseInterceptor |
jaxws:outInterceptors | The outgoing interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s. Each should implement org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Interceptor or org.apache.cxf.phase.PhaseInterceptor |
jaxws:outFaultInterceptors | The outgoing fault interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s. Each should implement org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Interceptor or org.apache.cxf.phase.PhaseInterceptor |
jaxws:handlers | The JAX-WS handlers for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s. Each should implement javax.xml.ws.handler.Handler or javax.xml.ws.handler.soap.SOAPHandler (Note that |
jaxws:properties | A properties map which should be supplied to the JAX-WS endpoint. See below. |
jaxws:dataBinding | Which DataBinding to use in the endpoint. This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyDataBinding"/> syntax. |
jaxws:binding | You can specify the BindingFactory for this endpoint to use. This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyBindingFactory"/> syntax. |
jaxws:features | The features that hold the interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s |
jaxws:invoker | The invoker which will be supplied to this endpoint. This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyInvoker"/> syntax. |
jaxws:schemaLocations | The schema locations for endpoint to use. A list of <schemaLocation>s |
jaxws:serviceFactory | The service factory for this endpoint to use. This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyServiceFactory"/> syntax |
Here is a more advanced example which shows how to provide interceptors and properties:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws" xmlns:soap="http://cxf.apache.org/bindings/soap" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd http://cxf.apache.org/bindings/soap http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/configuration/soap.xsd http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/jaxws.xsd"> <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml"/> <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-soap.xml"/> <jaxws:endpoint id="helloWorld" implementor="demo.spring.HelloWorldImpl" address="http://localhost/HelloWorld"> <jaxws:inInterceptors> <bean class="com.acme.SomeInterceptor"/> <ref bean="anotherInterceptor"/> </jaxws:inInterceptors> <jaxws:properties> <entry key="mtom-enabled" value="true"/> </jaxws:properties> </jaxws:endpoint> <bean id="anotherInterceptor" class="com.acme.SomeInterceptor"/> <jaxws:endpoint id="simpleWithBinding" implementor="#greeter" address="http://localhost:8080/simpleWithAddress"> <jaxws:binding> <soap:soapBinding mtomEnabled="true" version="1.2"/> </jaxws:binding> </jaxws:endpoint> <jaxws:endpoint id="inlineInvoker" address="http://localhost:8080/simpleWithAddress"> <jaxws:implementor> <bean class="org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.GreeterImpl"/> </jaxws:implementor> <jaxws:invoker> <bean class="org.apache.cxf.jaxws.spring.NullInvoker"/> </jaxws:invoker> </jaxws:endpoint> </beans>
If you are a Spring user, you'll notice that the jaxws:properties
element follows the Spring Map syntax.
Configuring a Spring Client (Option 1)
This technique lets you add a Web Services client to your Spring application. You can inject it into other Spring beans, or manually retrieve it from the Spring context for use by non-Spring-aware client code.
The easiest way to add a Web Services client to a Spring context is to use the <jaxws:client>
element (similar to the <jaxws:endpoint>
element used for the server side). Here's a simple example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/jaxws.xsd"> <jaxws:client id="helloClient" serviceClass="demo.spring.HelloWorld" address="http://localhost:9002/HelloWorld" /> </beans>
The attributes available on <jaxws:client>
include:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
id | String | A unique identified for the client, which is how other beans in the context will reference it |
address | URL | The URL to connect to in order to invoke the service |
serviceClass | Class | The fully-qualified name of the interface that the bean should implement (typically, same as the service interface used on the server side) |
serviceName | QName | The name of the service to invoke, if this address/WSDL hosts several. It maps to the wsdl:service@name. In the format of "ns:SERVICE_NAME" where ns is a namespace prefix valid at this scope. |
endpointName | QName | The name of the endpoint to invoke, if this address/WSDL hosts several. It maps to the wsdl:port@name. In the format of "ns:ENDPOINT_NAME" where ns is a namespace prefix valid at this scope. |
bindingId | URI | The URI, or ID, of the message binding for the endpoint to use. For SOAP the binding URI(ID) is specified by the JAX-WS specification. For other message bindings the URI is the namespace of the WSDL extensions used to specify the binding. |
bus | Bean Reference | The bus name that will be used in the jaxws endpoint (defaults to |
username | String |
|
password | String |
|
wsdlLocation | URL | A URL to connect to in order to retrieve the WSDL for the service. This is not required. |
createdFromAPI | boolean | This indicates that the client bean was already created using jaxws API's thus at runtime when parsing the bean spring can use these values rather than the default ones. It's important that when this is true, the "name" of the bean is set to the port name of the endpoint being created in the form "{http://service.target.namespace}PortName". |
It also supports many child elements:
Name | Description |
---|---|
jaxws:inInterceptors | The incoming interceptors for this endpoint. A list of |
jaxws:inFaultInterceptors | The incoming fault interceptors for this endpoint. A list of |
jaxws:outInterceptors | The outgoing interceptors for this endpoint. A list of |
jaxws:outFaultInterceptors | The outgoing fault interceptors for this endpoint. A list of |
jaxws:features | The features that hold the interceptors for this endpoint. A list of |
jaxws:handlers | The JAX-WS handlers for this endpoint. A list of |
jaxws:properties | A properties map which should be supplied to the JAX-WS endpoint. See below. |
jaxws:dataBinding | Which DataBinding to use in the endpoint. This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyDataBinding"/> syntax. |
jaxws:binding | You can specify the BindingFactory for this endpoint to use. This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyBindingFactory"/> syntax. |
jaxws:conduitSelector |
|
Here is a more advanced example which shows how to provide interceptors, JAX-WS handlers, and properties:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/jaxws.xsd"> <!-- Interceptors extend e.g. org.apache.cxf.phase.AbstractPhaseInterceptor --> <bean id="anotherInterceptor" class="..." /> <!-- Handlers implement e.g. javax.xml.ws.handler.soap.SOAPHandler --> <bean id="jaxwsHandler" class="..." /> <!-- The SOAP client bean --> <jaxws:client id="helloClient" serviceClass="demo.spring.HelloWorld" address="http://localhost:9002/HelloWorld"> <jaxws:inInterceptors> <bean class="org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingInInterceptor"/> <ref bean="anotherInterceptor"/> </jaxws:inInterceptor> <jaxws:handlers> <ref bean="jaxwsHandler" /> </jaxws:handlers> <jaxws:properties> <entry key="mtom-enabled" value="true"/> </jaxws:properties> </jaxws:client> </beans>
Configuring a Spring Client (Option 2)
Building a Client using this configuration is only applicable for those wishing to inject a Client into their Spring ApplicationContext.
This approach requires more explicit Spring bean configuration than the previous option, and may require more configuration data depending on which features are used. To configure a client this way, you'll need to declare a proxy factory bean and also a client bean which is created by that proxy factory. Here is an example:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/jaxws.xsd"> <bean id="proxyFactory" class="org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsProxyFactoryBean"> <property name="serviceClass" value="demo.spring.HelloWorld"/> <property name="address" value="http://localhost:9002/HelloWorld"/> </bean> <bean id="client" class="demo.spring.HelloWorld" factory-bean="proxyFactory" factory-method="create"/> </beans>
The JaxWsProxyFactoryBean in this case takes two properties. The service class, which is the interface of the Client proxy you wish to create. The address is the address of the service you wish to call.
The second bean definition is for the client. In this case it implements the HelloWorld interface and is created by the proxyFactory <bean> by calling the create() method. You can then reference this "client" bean and inject it anywhere into your application. Here is an example of a very simple Java class which accesses the client bean:
include org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext; public final class HelloWorldClient { private HelloWorldClient() { } public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception { ClassPathXmlApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext( new String[]{"my/path/to/client-beans.xml"}); HelloWorld client = (HelloWorld)context.getBean("client"); String response = client.sayHi("Dan"); System.out.println("Response: " + response); System.exit(0); } }
The JaxWsProxyFactoryBean supports many other properties:
Name | Description |
---|---|
clientFactoryBean | The ClientFactoryBean used in construction of this proxy. |
password | The password which the transport should use. |
username | The username which the transport should use. |
wsdlURL | The wsdl URL the client should use to configure itself. |
wsdlLocation | Appears to be the same as wsdlURL? |
serviceName | The name of the service to invoke, if this address/WSDL hosts several. It maps to the wsdl:service@name. In the format of "ns:SERVICE_NAME" where ns is a namespace prefix valid at this scope. |
endpointName | The name of the endpoint to invoke, if this address/WSDL hosts several. It maps to the wsdl:port@name. In the format of "ns:ENDPOINT_NAME" where ns is a namespace prefix valid at this scope. |
inInterceptors | The incoming interceptors for this endpoint. A list of |
inFaultInterceptors | The incoming fault interceptors for this endpoint. A list of |
outInterceptors | The outgoing interceptors for this endpoint. A list of |
outFaultInterceptors | The outgoing fault interceptors for this endpoint. A list of |
features | The features that hold the interceptors for this endpoint. A list of |
handlers | A list of |
bindingConfig |
|
bindingId | The URI, or ID, of the message binding for the endpoint to use. For SOAP the binding URI(ID) is specified by the JAX-WS specification. For other message bindings the URI is the namespace of the WSDL extensions used to specify the binding. |
bus | A reference to a CXF bus bean. Must be provided if, for example, handlers are used. May require additional Spring context imports (e.g. to bring in the default CXF bus bean). |
conduitSelector |
|
dataBinding | Which DataBinding to use in the endpoint. This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyDataBinding"/> syntax. |
properties | A properties map which should be supplied to the JAX-WS endpoint. |
serviceFactory |
|
Using some of the properties will require additional configuration in the Spring context. For instance, using JAX-WS handlers requires that you explicitly import several CXF Spring configurations, and assign the "bus" property of the JaxWsProxyFactory bean like this:
<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml" /> <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-soap.xml" /> <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-http.xml" /> <bean id="clientFactory" class="org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsProxyFactoryBean"> <property name="serviceClass" value="demo.spring.HelloWorld"/> <property name="address" value="http://localhost:9002/HelloWorld"/> <property name="bus" ref="cxf" /> </bean>
Configuring an Endpoint/Client Proxy Using CXF APIs
JAX-WS endpoints and client proxies are implemented on top of CXF's frontend-neutral endpoint API. You can therefore use CXF APIs to enhance the functionality of a JAX-WS endpoint or client proxy, for example by adding interceptors.
To cast a client proxy to a CXF client:
GreeterService gs = new GreeterService(); Greeter greeter = gs.getGreeterPort(); org.apache.cxf.endpoint.Client client = org.apache.cxf.frontend.ClientProxy.getClient(greeter); org.apache.cxf.endpoint.Endpoint cxfEndpoint = client.getEndpoint(); cxfEndpoint.getOutInterceptors().add(...);
To cast a JAX-WS endpoint to a CXF server:
javax.xml.ws.Endpoint jaxwsEndpoint = javax.xml.ws.Endpoint.publish( "http://localhost:9020/SoapContext/GreeterPort", new GreeterImpl()); org.apache.cxf.jaxws.EndpointImpl jaxwsEndpointImpl = (org.apache.cxf.jaxws.EndpointImpl)jaxwsEndpoint; jaxwsEndpointImpl.getOutInterceptors().add(...);
Configure the JAXWS Server/Client Using Spring
CXF provides <jaxws:server>, <jaxws:client> to configure the server/client side endpoint. Here are some examples:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws" xmlns:soap="http://cxf.apache.org/bindings/soap" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd http://cxf.apache.org/bindings/soap http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/configuration/soap.xsd http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/jaxws.xsd"> <jaxws:server id="inlineImplementor" address="http://localhost:8080/simpleWithAddress"> <jaxws:serviceBean> <bean class="org.apache.hello_soap_http.GreeterImpl"/> </jaxws:serviceBean> </jaxws:server> <jaxws:server id="bookServer" serviceClass= "org.apache.cxf.mytype.AnonymousComplexTypeImpl" address="http://localhost:8080/act" bus="cxf"> <jaxws:invoker> <bean class="org.apache.cxf.service.invoker.BeanInvoker"> <constructor-arg> <bean class="org.apache.cxf.mytype.AnonymousComplexTypeImpl"/> </constructor-arg> </bean> </jaxws:invoker> <jaxws:dataBinding> <bean class="org.apache.cxf.jaxb.JAXBDataBinding"> <property name="namespaceMap"> <map> <entry> <key> <value>http://cxf.apache.org/anon_complex_type/</value> </key> <value>BeepBeep</value> </entry> </map> </property> </bean> </jaxws:dataBinding> </jaxws:server> <jaxws:client id="bookClient" serviceClass="org.apache.cxf.mytype.AnonymousComplexType" address="http://localhost:8080/act"/> </beans>
Since JAX-WS frontend server and client spring configuration parser are inherited from the simple frontend, please see Simple Frontend Configuration for the attribute and element definitions.
Configure the JAXWS Server Using SpringBoot
Here is an example:
import org.apache.cxf.Bus; import org.apache.cxf.jaxws.EndpointImpl; import org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.CXFServlet; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration; import org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder; import org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.EmbeddedServletContainerFactory; import org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.ServletRegistrationBean; import org.springframework.boot.context.web.SpringBootServletInitializer; import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration; import org.springframework.context.annotation.ImportResource; @Configuration @EnableAutoConfiguration @ImportResource({ "classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml" }) public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer { @Autowired private ApplicationContext applicationContext; public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); } // Replaces the need for web.xml @Bean public ServletRegistrationBean servletRegistrationBean(ApplicationContext context) { return new ServletRegistrationBean(new CXFServlet(), "/api/*"); } // Replaces cxf-servlet.xml @Bean // <jaxws:endpoint id="helloWorld" implementor="demo.spring.service.HelloWorldImpl" address="/HelloWorld"/> public EndpointImpl helloService() { Bus bus = (Bus) applicationContext.getBean(Bus.DEFAULT_BUS_ID); Object implementor = new HelloWorldImpl(); EndpointImpl endpoint = new EndpointImpl(bus, implementor); endpoint.publish("/hello"); return endpoint; } // Used when deploying to a standalone servlet container, i.e. tomcat @Override protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) { return application.sources(Application.class); } }

Beware: even if you enable mtom using for instance
<jaxws:properties>
<entry key="mtom-enabled" value="true"/>
</jaxws:properties>
, it will get disabled by WSS4JOutInterceptor (if you use it). WSS4JOutInterceptor can be configured to allow MTOM using WSS4JOutInterceptor.setAllowMTOM(true)
