Move bus wiring out of Spring XML handlers
------------------------------------------

                 Key: CXF-1619
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-1619
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Configuration
    Affects Versions: 2.1
            Reporter: Ian Roberts


Several classes in CXF, such as JaxWs{Proxy,Server}FactoryBean, EndpointImpl, 
etc. that take a reference to a Bus automatically wire in a reference to the 
Spring bean "cxf" if no bus has been explicitly specified.  However, this 
wiring is currently handled in the custom XML handlers, so happens at XML 
parsing time.  This means it is sensitive to the order in which the Spring 
beans have been defined - the "cxf" Bus bean is only wired in if its definition 
exists in the Spring context at the time the custom XML is parsed.

This patch implements an alternative behaviour where we first parse all the 
bean definitions, then go back and check for the existence of the "cxf" bean 
and wire it in if necessary.  This would mean that the CXF <import>s could go 
anywhere in your Spring config file (even after your <jaxws:endpoint>s), or 
even in a separate file.  At present, if you put the imports in a separate file 
you must arrange for this file to be loaded before your others, but this isn't 
always possible to guarantee.

Summary of the patch:
- Anywhere where a Spring XML handler currently does a check for the existence 
of a bean called "cxf" and wires it into the new definition, replace this code 
with code to add a custom attribute to the new bean definition instead.
- BusWiringBeanFactoryPostProcessor, registered by default in cxf.xml, checks 
bean definitions for this custom attribute and does the wiring.
