I understand that CXF provides APIs for installed interceptors through the InterceptorProvider interface, which the Bus, Endpoint, and Service types all extend (among other types).

Suppose I want to create, via configuration, some sort of CXF plugin (I hesitate to call this an interceptor, for reasons which should become obvious). The purpose of this plugin is to install interceptors programatically into the call chain.

I can see how to do this using a reference to a Bus -- e.g., I can spring-load the plugin I want to install, and wire it up to the Bus -- common pattern. And from there, I can get access to the Bus-level InterceptorProvider, since the Bus extends that type.

That would work in the case where I want my plugin to install these interceptors globally, i.e, for all services and endpoints in a Bus; however, suppose I want to install my interceptors at a finer level of granularity, e.g., per endpoint. Is there a way for my plugin, which seems to be loaded at Bus initialization time, to get a handle on the Service or Endpoint (which also implement InterceptorProvider) for which it is (or counterfactually would be) configured? Is this an envisioned pattern? Or is there some other sort of interceptor I don't know of, e.g, which hooks into Service or Endpoint creation?

Thanks!
