Spring Boot Actuator

When the presence of the Spring Boot Actuator is detected, the application may benefit from metrics support auto-configuration (based on  Micrometer library). The instrumentation layer automatically (or programmatically) tracks the server-side metrics with respect to requests processing, and exposes it along with other metrics. For more details, please check Micrometer Integration documentation.

Spring Boot CXF JAX-WS Starter

Features

Registers CXFServlet with a  "/services/*" URL pattern for serving CXF JAX-WS endpoints.

...

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-spring-boot-starter-jaxws</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.7<12</version>
</dependency>

Additional Configuration

Use "cxf.path" property to customize a CXFServlet URL pattern

Use "cxf.servlet.init" map property to customize CXFServlet properties such as "services-list-path" (available by default at  "/services"), etc.

Use "cxf.servlet.loadOnStartup" set loadOnStartup priority of the CXFServlet (by default, -1)

Use "cxf.servlet.enabled" enable/disable CXFServlet regsitration (since 3.3.12/3.4.5)

If needed, one can use Spring ImportResource annotation to import the existing JAX-WS contexts available on the classpath.

API Documentation

JAX-WS endpoints support WSDL.

package sample.ws;

import javax.xml.ws.Endpoint;
import org.apache.cxf.Bus;
import org.apache.cxf.jaxws.EndpointImpl;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import sample.ws.service.HelloPortImpl;


@Configuration
public class WebServiceConfig {
    @Autowired
    private Bus bus;

    @Bean
    public Endpoint endpoint() {
        EndpointImpl endpoint = new EndpointImpl(bus, new HelloPortImpl());
        endpoint.publish("/Hello");
        return endpoint;
    }
}

Having a CXF JAX-WS starter alongside this Configuration is sufficient for enabling a CXF JAX-WS endpoint which will respond to SOAP request URI such as

...

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-spring-boot-starter-jaxrs</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.7<12</version>
</dependency>

Additional Configuration

Use "cxf.path" property to customize a CXFServlet URL pattern.

Use "cxf.servlet.init" map property to customize CXFServlet properties such as "services-list-path" (available by default at  "/services"), etc.

Use "cxf.servlet.loadOnStartup" set loadOnStartup priority of the CXFServlet (by default, -1)

Use "cxf.servlet.enabled" enable/disable CXFServlet regsitration (since 3.3.12/3.4.5)

Use "cxf.jaxrs.server.path" property to customize a JAX-RS server endpoint address (default is "/").

JAX-RS root resources and providers annotated with JAX-RS @Path and @Provider and native CXF Providers annotated with CXF @Provider can be auto-discovered.

Use "cxf.jaxrs.component-scan" property to create a JAX-RS endpoint from the auto-discovered JAX-RS root resources and providers which are marked as Spring Components (annotated with Spring @Component or created and returned from @Bean methods).

Use "cxf.jaxrs.component-scan-packages" property to restrict which of the auto-discovered Spring components are accepted as JAX-RS resource or provider classes. It sets a comma-separated list of the packages that a given bean instance's class must be in. Note, this property, if set, is only effective if a given bean is a singleton. It can be used alongside or as an alternative to the "cxf.jaxrs.component-scan-beans" property. This property is available starting from CXF 3.1.11.

Use "cxf.jaxrs.component-scan-beans" property to restrict which of the auto-discovered Spring components are accepted as JAX-RS resource or provider classes. It sets a comma-separated list of the accepted bean names - the auto-discovered component will only be accepted if its bean name is in this list. It can be used alongside or as an alternative to the "cxf.jaxrs.component-scan-packages" property. This property is available starting from CXF 3.1.11.

Use "cxf.jaxrs.classes-scan" property to create a JAX-RS endpoint from the auto-discovered JAX-RS root resources and provider classes. Such classes do not have to be annotated with Spring @Component. This property needs to be accompanied by a "cxf.jaxrs.classes-scan-packages" property which sets a comma-separated list of the packages to scan.

Note that while "cxf.jaxrs.component-scan" and "cxf.jaxrs.classes-scan" are mutually exclusive, "cxf.jaxrs.component-scan" can be used alongside the "cxf.jaxrs.classes-scan-packages" property to enable the auto-discovery of the JAX-RS resources and providers which may or may not be marked as Spring Components.

If needed, instead of having the resources auto-discovered,  one can use Spring ImportResource annotation to import the existing JAX-RS contexts available on the classpath.

Auto Configuration

Spring Boot Application example shown in the Manual Configuration section can be simplified if the auto-discovery is enabled.

 cxf:
  jaxrs:
    component-scan: true
    classes-scan-packages: org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.swagger

the application becomes simply:

@SpringBootApplication
public class SampleScanRestApplication {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(SampleScanRestApplication.class, args);
    }
}
