Introduction
This page describes how CXF JAX-RS Client code can be used inside SpringBoot applications.
Please see a CXF JAX-RS starter section on how to enable JAX-RS endpoints.
Setup
If your SpringBoot Application depends on a CXF JAX-RS starter then no more dependencies are required.
If you'd like to run JAX-RS clients in a pure client-side SpringBoot Application then the following Maven pom should suffice in many cases:
