Runtime
You need to configure the runtime to tell it to use XMLBeans for the databinding instead of
JAXB.
Spring config
For the server side, your spring configuration would contain something like:
<jaxws:server serviceClass="demo.hw.server.HelloWorld"
address="/hello_world">
<jaxws:dataBinding>
<bean class="org.apache.cxf.xmlbeans.XmlBeansDataBinding" />
</jaxws:dataBinding>
</jaxws:server>or
<jaxws:endpoint
id="helloWorld"
implementor="demo.spring.HelloWorldImpl"
address="http://localhost/HelloWorld">
<jaxws:dataBinding>
<bean class="org.apache.cxf.xmlbeans.XmlBeansDataBinding" />
</jaxws:dataBinding>
</jaxws:endpoint>The client side is very similar:
<jaxws:client id="helloClient"
serviceClass="demo.spring.HelloWorld"
address="http://localhost:9002/HelloWorld">
<jaxws:dataBinding>
<bean class="org.apache.cxf.xmlbeans.XmlBeansDataBinding" />
</jaxws:dataBinding>
<jaxws:client>FactoryBeans
If using programmatic factory beans instead of spring configuration, the databinding can be set on the ClientProxyFactoryBean (and subclasses) and the ServerFactoryBean (and subclasses) via:
factory.getServiceFactory().setDataBinding(
new org.apache.cxf.xmlbeans.XmlBeansDataBinding());
