Daniel Kulp commented on CXF-2838:
----------------------------------
I think much of this has changed in CXF 2.4.x and should work a lot better.
Can you retest with CXF 2.4.x and if there is still an issue, provide a
testcase?
> CXFServlet ignores proper ApplicationContext combination loading.

> Key: CXF-2838
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2838
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Transports
> Affects Versions: 2.2.8
> Environment: Windows using Tomcat 5.5/Tomcat 6
> Reporter: Carl Holmes
> Labels: application-context, cxf-servlet
> Fix For: NeedMoreInfo

> Original Estimate: 504h
> Remaining Estimate: 504h

> CXFServlet allows you to specify an init-param element specifying the
> location of an application-context file to be used in combination with the
> root application context (loaded via a ContextLoader(Listener/Servlet) to use
> to construct beans for web services. However, this loading process is not
> done properly.
> Say that a user wished to use the root application context, loaded in the
> ContextLoader(Listener/Servlet) to provide common functionality (database
> beans, cache, email services, etc) between different servlets, but wanted to
> separate out two different sets of web services (that used these common
> beans) and also had another servlet that used these common beans but did not
> expose web services. Normally, that would be done as so:
> context loader listener:
> common application context files
> Servlet#1(CXF servlet #1)
> only web service beans, including the imports for CXF from its META-INF
> directories as desired
> Servlet#2(CXF servlet #2, exposing different web services under a different
> url-pattern than Servlet#1)
> only CXF Servlet #2 web service beans, including the imports for CXF from
> its META_INF directories as desired
> UnrelatedServlet
> Gets the root application context and any additional beans it needs
> Each servlet would then be mapped on different url-patterns, for example,
> /services/*, /securedServices/*, and /.
> However, this doesn't work as expected.
> I traced this down - and it seems that before the context is refreshed, the
> bus is read and a controller is constructed before the servlet gets a chance
> to even read its initialization parameter and append these beans to the Root
> application context to construct a new application context for it to use.
> This isn't a problem for any web application just using an "all beans in the
> context loader listener" or "just web services" approach - but it makes the
> CXFServlet much less useful than it should be. The Root application context
> should be merged with the user-injected specific application context before
> any configuration is attempted.
