Endpoint Config Preferences

The Endpoint Config tab provides setting that control the type of endpoint configuration that web projects are configured with when the CXF Facet is installed.

Spring Config tab

Option

Description

Default

Use CXF Servlet

Creates a cxf-servlet.xml file in the Web Projects WEB-INF directory. This is the slower option of the two as it loads all possible CXF modules for an endpoint

false

Use Spring Application Context

Creates a cxf-beans.xml file in the Web Projects WEB-INF directory. This is the fastest option as it allows the specification of which CXF modules to load for an endpoint

true

During bottom-up and top-down web services development the endpoint configuration file in the web project is updated with a jaxws:endpoint element for the generated web service.
