Vedran Pavic commented on CXF-6869:
-----------------------------------
Aha, I misunderstood your problem. Yes, that of course works.
My samples are tested against the code I submitted in the last PR.
Refer to Javadoc of following classes for more details:
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/master/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/condition/ConditionalOnClass.java
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/master/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/condition/OnClassCondition.java
Note that inner class annotated with
{{@ConditionalOnClass(JAXRSServerFactoryBean.class)}} is actually a
{{@Configuration}} class also, meaning it won't get loaded if all its
conditions aren't met. Referencing classes in auto-configuration does not mean
those classes need to be present on the classpath, that's the power of Spring
Boot and the rationale behind having optional dependencies for
auto-configuration module.
I've tried to stress this earlier by linking to contents of Boot's own
auto-configuration module but apparently I failed at that :)

> Consider adding Spring Boot starter

> Key: CXF-6869
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-6869
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Integration
> Reporter: Vedran Pavic
> Assignee: Sergey Beryozkin
>
> I've recently authored a PR in Spring Boot to add support for
> auto-configuration of {{CXFServlet}} and default CXF's configuration:
> https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/pull/5659
> The PR was closed with "won't fix" resolution since Boot team are unwilling
> to add CXF as a dependency to the project. Instead a 3rd party starter was
> suggested.
> The concept of a 3rd party starter is generally encouraged for technologies
> that don't have first-class support in projects from Spring portfolio. Such
> 3rd party starters are listed here:
> https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/master/spring-boot-starters/README.adoc
> If CXF team is interested, I'm willing to port my PR to CXF.
> Note that the original PR was focused around JAX-WS support, but can be
> easily expanded to include JAX-RS support as well.
