Hi Brad, Currently there are two ways to build RESTful service with CXF, using CXF HTTP binding or using JAX-WS Dispatch/Provider API. JAX-WS Dispatch/Provider approach is just using JAX-WS API, so it is SOAP/HTTP based (but you can also configure it to use XML binding instead). CXF HTTP binding maps operations from URI or HTTP verbs, the input parameters can be extracted from URL or Http payload using different content types such as POX or JSON, it definitely does not need SOAP in this case. I can not tell which approach you are using from the code snippet you have enclosed, I will need your com.nextrials.kilter.service.user.UserService class. But it seems that you are using JAX-WS Dispatch/Provider approach otherwise you wont get back an error message wrapped with SOAP Envelope.

However, when I hit one of my service URL's from a browser (without parameters, just to see what would happen) I get the following: <soap:Envelope> <soap:Body> <soap:Fault> <faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode> <faultstring>wrong number of arguments</faultstring> </soap:Fault> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope> I do not want to use SOAP. I want only an XML document passed as a parameter over Http -- no SOAP. This seems to indicate that SOAP is still in the mix, but I need to remove it. I have this configured in Spring, according to the documentation. Here is the content of my spring beans.xml (verbatim from the doc): <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws"; xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/jaxws.xsd";> <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml" /> <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-soap.xml" /> <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-servlet.xml" /> <jaxws:endpoint id="userService" implementor="com.nextrials.kilter.service.user.UserService" address="/UserService" /> </beans> Here is the content of my web.xml, verbatim from the doc: <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";> <web-app> <context-param> <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> <param-value>WEB-INF/beans.xml</param-value> </context-param> <listener> <listener-class> org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener </listener-class> </listener> <servlet> <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name> <display-name>CXF Servlet</display-name> <servlet-class> org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.CXFServlet </servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> How do I remove SOAP from the mix?
