The assignment was simple: A SOAP web service implemented with spring boot, JDBC using Gradle.
After some time looking around the discovery was made that "Spring-WS" only works with a contract-first development style.
And we didn't want that, so we dig a little further and found out what we already know, we had to use Apache CXF for a Contract Last development style.
So off we went to search, code and test; but once the data access and facades were done we couldn’t figure out how to wire the Apache CXF WS with the Spring Boot service Façade.
So… how is it done?

This is more of a rhetorical question, because after looking around we could not find an example of Spring Boot & Apache CXF working seamlessly together, so for anyone who may be searching, here is a simple example.
First the dependencies used by the Gradle project
build.gradle file
buildscript {
ext {
springBootVersion = '2.0.1.RELEASE'
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
}
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse-wtp'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'
apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'
apply plugin: 'war'
group = 'com.telcel'
version = '0.0.1-RC'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
configurations {
providedRuntime
}
dependencies {
// Apache CXF
compile(group: 'org.apache.cxf', name: 'cxf-spring-boot-starter-jaxws', version: '3.1.15') {
exclude(module: 'spring-boot-starter-tomcat')
}
// JDBC support
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jdbc')
// embedded servlet container
compile group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-undertow', version: '1.5.4.RELEASE'
runtime group: 'com.ibm.informix', name: 'jdbc', version: '4.10.10.0'
testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
testRuntime group: 'com.ibm.informix', name: 'jdbc', version: '4.10.10.0'
}
Then, we need some basic things for the CXF config.
application.properties file:
cxf.path=/service
server.address=0.0.0.0
We needed Spring Boot to create a CXF Endpoint, and we also needed that Endpoint to use our Spring aware Facade... this is where the wiring magic happened.
WebServiceConfig.java
package com.telcel.validaserie;
import com.telcel.validaserie.ui.ValidaSerieEndpoint;
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 javax.xml.ws.Endpoint;
@Configuration
public class WebServiceConfig {
@Autowired
private Bus bus;
@Autowired
private ValidaSerieEndpoint validaSerieEndpoint;
@Bean
public Endpoint endpoint() {
EndpointImpl endpoint = new EndpointImpl(bus, validaSerieEndpoint);
endpoint.publish("/");
return endpoint;
}
}
Notice the autowired ValidaSerieEndpoint that goes as a parameter into the EndpointImpl constructor, that's the trick, plain simple.
Finally just a simple web service implementation exposed as a Spring Bean (notice the Spring @Service stereotype)
ValidaSerieEndpoint.class
package com.telcel.validaserie.ui;
import com.telcel.validaserie.servicios.ValidaSeriesFacade;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebParam;
import javax.jws.WebService;
@Service
@WebService
public class ValidaSerieEndpoint {
@Autowired
private ValidaSeriesFacade validaSeriesFacade;
@WebMethod
public String validaTelefonoIccid(@WebParam(name = "iccid") String iccid) {
return validaSeriesFacade.validaTelefonoIccid(iccid);
}
@WebMethod
public String validaTelefonoImei(@WebParam(name = "imei") String imei) {
return validaSeriesFacade.validaTelefonoImei(imei);
}
@WebMethod
public int validaFacturaIccid(@WebParam(name = "iccid") String iccid, @WebParam(name = "fuerza-venta") String fuerzaVenta) {
return validaSeriesFacade.validaFacturaIccid(iccid, fuerzaVenta);
}
@WebMethod
public int validaFacturaImei(@WebParam(name = "imei") String imei, @WebParam(name = "fuerza-venta") String fuerzaVenta) {
return validaSeriesFacade.validaFacturaImei(imei, fuerzaVenta);
}
}
And that's it quite simple after you look at it... hope this helps.
