Configure the JAXWS Server Using SpringBoot

Here is an example:

import org.apache.cxf.Bus;
import org.apache.cxf.jaxws.EndpointImpl;
import org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.CXFServlet;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder;
import org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.EmbeddedServletContainerFactory;
import org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.ServletRegistrationBean;
import org.springframework.boot.context.web.SpringBootServletInitializer;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ImportResource;
 
@Configuration
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@ImportResource({ "classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml" })
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
 
    @Autowired
    private ApplicationContext applicationContext;
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
 
    // Replaces the need for web.xml
    @Bean
 public ServletRegistrationBean servletRegistrationBean(ApplicationContext context) {
        return new ServletRegistrationBean(new CXFServlet(), "/api/*");
    }
 
    // Replaces cxf-servlet.xml
    @Bean
    // <jaxws:endpoint id="helloWorld" 
       implementor="demo.spring.service.HelloWorldImpl" 
       address="/HelloWorld"/>
    public EndpointImpl helloService() {
        Bus bus = (Bus) applicationContext.getBean(Bus.DEFAULT_BUS_ID);
        Object implementor = new HelloWorldImpl();
        EndpointImpl endpoint = new EndpointImpl(bus, implementor);
        endpoint.publish("/hello");
        return endpoint;
    }
 
  
    // Used when deploying to a standalone servlet container, i.e. tomcat
    @Override
 protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
        return application.sources(Application.class);
    }
 
}
