---------------------------------------

Hi Andriy

I think it is exactly what I'm looking for, thanks for getting this project 
moving. Looks promising indeed, in fact, now that I think about it, we can 
actually (later on) introduce CXF annotation markers for 
in/out/inFault/outFault/feature elements and basically have everything 
auto-discovered (for simple cases), possibly we can get that done for all of 
CXF endpoints, so we will just have 
{code:xml}
<jaxrs:server address="/rs" base-packages=""/>
{code}

Some comments on the patch: 
- lets also discover root resources, if a Class has @Path then it is a root 
resource/serviceBean
- can we support empty base-packages - this will simply enable the 
auto-discovery of everything, I guess we will need to exclude 
'org.apache.cxf.jaxrs/**/*.class' in this case for now - if the exclusions are 
tricky to manage then lets not do it
- this can be done later, in another patch, but lets do the same for 
jaxrs;client, the only difference there is that we will pick up the very first 
Class with @Path and set it as jaxrs:client serviceClass attribute, the 
providers will be found exactly the same way as on the server 

Many thanks
Sergey

> With the search extensions module containing a provider the time has come to 
> support the optional class-scanning. Will help in cases when the providers 
> are simple and no extra configuration is expected. Post 2.6 though
