Configure with Spring for the simple front end server

You can configure the CXF simple front end server endpoint by using the <simple:server> tag in spring.

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xmlns:simple="http://cxf.apache.org/simple"
      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/simple http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/simple.xsd">
 
  <simple:server id="pojoservice" serviceClass="demo.hw.server.HelloWorld" address="/hello_world">
    <simple:serviceBean>
        <bean class="demo.hw.server.HelloWorldImpl" />
    </simple:serviceBean>
  </simple:server>
</beans>

The simple:server element 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.
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.
bindingId	The binding uri for the service model to use
transportId	The transport uri which is used for looking up the transport factory in CXF
address	The service publish address
bus	The bus name that will be used in the jaxws endpoint.
serviceBean	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"
serviceClass	The implementor class name, it is really useful when you specify the implementor with the ref bean which is wrapped by using Spring AOP
start	Whether the service endpoint should be published now, or whether it will be published at a later point, the default value is true

It also supports many child elements:

Name	Value
simple:executor	A Java executor which will be used for the service. This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyExecutor"/> syntax.
simple:inInterceptors	The incoming interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s.
simple:inFaultInterceptors	The incoming fault interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s.
simple:outInterceptors	The outgoing interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s.
simple:outFaultInterceptors	The outgoing fault interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s.
simple:properties	A properties map which should be supplied to the JAX-WS endpoint. See below.
simple:dataBinding	You can specify the which DataBinding will be use in the endpoint , This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyDataBinding"/> syntax.
simple:binding	You can specify the BindingFactory for this endpoint to use. This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyBindingFactory"/> syntax.
simple:features	The features that hold the interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s
simple:invoker	The invoker which will be supplied to this endpoint. This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyInvoker"/> syntax.
simple:schemaLocations	The schema locations for endpoint to use. A list of <schemaLocation>s
simple:serviceFactory	The service factory for this endpoint to use. This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyServiceFactory"/> syntax
simple:serviceBean	The service implementation instance to be used. This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyServiceBean"/> syntax

Here is a more advanced example which shows how to provide interceptors and properties:

      <bean class="org.apache.cxf.service.invoker.BeanInvoker">
        <constructor-arg>
          <bean class="org.apache.cxf.service.factory.HelloServiceImpl"/>
        </constructor-arg>
      </bean>
    </simple:invoker>    
  </simple:server>
   
  <simple:server id="inlineSoapBinding"
    serviceClass="org.apache.cxf.service.factory.HelloService"
    serviceBean="#greeter"
    address="http://localhost:8080/test"  
    serviceName="t:HelloService"
    xmlns:t="http://apache.org/hello_world_soap_http"
    endpointName="t:HelloPort">
    <simple:binding>
      <soap:soapBinding mtomEnabled="true" version="1.2"/>
    </simple:binding>
  </simple:server>
</beans>

Configure with Spring for the simple front end client

You could use the <simple:client> element to configure the simple front end client, you can use the spring's getBean API to get the client instance from the application context.

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xmlns:simple="http://cxf.apache.org/simple"
      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/simple http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/simple.xsd">
 
  <simple:client id="client"
    serviceClass="org.apache.cxf.service.factory.HelloService"
    address="http://localhost:9000/foo2"
    serviceName="s:XMLService"
    xmlns:s="http://apache.org/hello_world_soap_http"
    endpointName="s:XMLPort"   
    bindingId="http://cxf.apache.org/bindings/xformat"/>
</beans>

The simple:client element 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.
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.
bindingId	The binding uri for the service model to use
address	The service publish address
bus	The bus name that will be used in the jaxws endpoint.
serviceClass	The implementor class name.
username	The user name which is used in the transport layer
password	The password that is used in the transport layer

It also supports many child elements:

Name	Value
simple:inInterceptors	The incoming interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s.
simple:inFaultInterceptors	The incoming fault interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s.
simple:outInterceptors	The outgoing interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s.

simple:binding	You can specify the BindingFactory for this endpoint to use. This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyBindingFactory"/> syntax.
