What's the Camel Transport for CXF
In CXF you offer or consume a webservice by defining it´s address. The first part of the address specifies the protocol to use. For example address="http://localhost:90000" in an endpoint configuration means your service will be offered using the http protocol on port 9000 of localhost. When you integrate Camel Tranport into CXF you get a new transport "camel". So you can specify address="camel://direct:MyEndpointName" to bind the CXF service address to a camel direct endpoint.
Technically speaking Camel transport for CXF is a component which implements the CXF transport API with the Camel core library. This allows you to use camel´s routing engine and integration patterns support smoothly together with your CXF services.
Integrate Camel into CXF transport layer
To include the Camel Tranport into your CXF bus you use the CamelTransportFactory. You can do this in Java as well as in Spring.
Setting up the Camel Transport in Spring
You can use the following snippet in your applicationcontext if you want to configure anything special. If you only want to activate the camel transport you do not have to do anything in your application context. As soon as you include the camel-cxf jar in your app cxf will scan the jar and load a CamelTransportFactory for you. But for me this is almost too much magic 
<bean class="org.apache.camel.component.cxf.transport.CamelTransportFactory">
<property name="bus" ref="cxf" />
<property name="camelContext" ref="camelContext" />
<property name="transportIds">
<list>
<value>http://cxf.apache.org/transports/camel</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
Integrating the Camel Transport in a programmatic way
Camel transport provides a setContext method that you could use to set the Camel context into the transport factory. If you want this factory take effect, you need to register the factory into the CXF bus. Here is a full example for you.
import org.apache.cxf.Bus; import org.apache.cxf.BusFactory; import org.apache.cxf.transport.ConduitInitiatorManager; import org.apache.cxf.transport.DestinationFactoryManager; ... BusFactory bf = BusFactory.newInstance(); Bus bus = bf.createBus(); CamelTransportFactory camelTransportFactory = new CamelTransportFactory(); camelTransportFactory.setCamelContext(context) // register the conduit initiator ConduitInitiatorManager cim = bus.getExtension(ConduitInitiatorManager.class); cim.registerConduitInitiator(CamelTransportFactory.TRANSPORT_ID, camelTransportFactory); // register the destination factory DestinationFactoryManager dfm = bus.getExtension(DestinationFactoryManager.class); dfm.registerDestinationFactory(CamelTransportFactory.TRANSPORT_ID, camelTransportFactory); // set or bus as the default bus for cxf BusFactory.setDefaultBus(bus);
Using Camel as a load balancer for CXF
This example show how to use the camel load balance feature in CXF, and you need load the configuration file in CXF and publish the endpoints on the address "camel://direct:EndpointA" and "camel://direct:EndpointB"
