The bus is a provider of shared resources to the CXF runtime. Examples for such shared resources include WSDL managers and binding factory managers. The bus can easily be extended to include your own custom resources or services, or you can replace default resources like the HTTP destination factory (based on Jetty) with your own (possibly based on Tomcat).
This is made possible by dependency injection: the default bus implemenation is based on Springhttp://www.springsource.com/developer/spring, which wires the runtime components together for you.
The SpringBusFactory searches for all bean configuration files in the META-INF/cxf directories on your classpath, and builds an application context from them. The bean configuration files included in the application context construction are:

• META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml (in cxf-rt-core only)
• META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension.xml (e.g. in cxf-rt-bindings-soap)
• META-INF/cxf/cxf-property-editors.xml (e.g. in cxf-rt-transports-http).

See Configuration of the Bus for an example of how to customise the bus by supplying your own bean configuration file and Configuration of Runtime Constructed Objects for more information on the special case of injecting into objects created by the runtime (as opposed to objects created by the IOC container itself).
