Types of Configuration files

Client configuration file

...

Placing a cxf.xml file (or other-named file as configured above) in the classpath of the Web Service Client can be used to configure client-specific functionality. For example, the following client cxf.xml file turns off chunked transfer encoding for a specific service in requests and responses:

Code Block
xml xml
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:http-conf="http://cxf.apache.org/transports/http/configuration" xsi:schemaLocation="http://cxf.apache.org/transports/http/configuration http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/configuration/http-conf.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd"> <http-conf:conduit name="{urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents}Shopping.http-conduit"> <http-conf:client AllowChunking="false"/> </http-conf:conduit> </beans>

Server configuration files

...

Typically, the cxf.xml file in the classpath of the web service is intended primarily for configuration of the CXF bus, the object used for the creation of all services and endpoints. Endpoint configuration is primarily done either via a WEB-INF/cxf-servlet.xml file or a Spring application context file designated by the web application deployment descriptor (web.xml file). The cxf-servlet.xml file is somewhat slower because it loads all possible CXF modules for an endpoint; the Spring application context method is faster because it allows you to specify which CXF modules are needed.
