Glen Mazza commented on CXF-4719:
---------------------------------

If possible, I'd recommend against implementing any new CXF-specific 
annotations, if indeed Spring 3.1+ annotations already provide a generic way to 
do this configuration without an XML file.  This can wait until CXF is using 
Spring 3.1 or more recent and we can do this the Spring way.  Otherwise, we'll 
need to support both (1) this new CXF-specific method and (2) the Spring 3.1 
method, as well as keep (1) forever due to backwards compatibility issues.

Torben's remark "I am using Spring and I want to use CXF with Spring, but 
without an XML configuration file.  I was looking to simplify my solution and 
you gave me a complex alternative" indicates he doesn't want anything outside 
standard Spring 3.1+ annotation support anyway, as any non-Spring solution such 
as the CXFNonSpringServlet or a new CXF annotation would be a "complex 
alternative" regrettably being forced on him.

> CXF is the only thing I'm using that still needs a spring configuration XML.
> All other components are configurable via annotations.
