We need to write a program that connects (as a client) to more than one web service. We have written CXF clients for each service separately, and they each work. As we try to combine the code bases and run them in the same JRE, we are not sure how to make sure things continue to work. For instance, we have come to believe that we need more than one instance of the CXF Bus (org.apache.cxf.bus.CXFBusImpl) configured in our program. This is because the CXF Bus bean references a WSS4JOutInterceptor bean which is configured to access a specific service. To configure more than one CXF bus, we have switched from the "cxf:bus" namespace configuration tags to the basic Spring config style: <cxf:bus><cxf:features><cxf:logging/></cxf:features> <!-- "cxf:bus" tags, no bean name --> <bean id="cxf" class="org.apache.cxf.bus.CXFBusImpl"> <!-- regular Spring bean, with a name --> This works for one service, but it seems that the client code expects the CXFBus bean to be bound under the name "cxf". The client never references the CXFBus bean explicitly, and therefore probably finds it by some hard-coded reference to the bean name. In the above configuration fragment, we get an error if we change the bean's name away from "cxf". Since we need more than one CXFBus bean to be configured, we need to control these beans' names. Furthermore, we believe that we need to specify that a given CXF client should be "bound" to a CXF Bus instance (since this bus instance is configured to interact with the service). Is there an API call that can bind a CXF client to an instance of CXF Bus? Since CXF is configured in Spring files, we have tried to load the Spring application context explicitly in the client code. This has resulted in errors, since the map CXFBusImpl.extensions turned out empty at runtime. Is there a way to load the CXF Bus bean directly and associate it to a service object? Looking at org.apache.cxf.bus.spring.SpringBusFactory.defaultBusNotExists(), it seems that the BusFactory will always return the bean named "cxf" from the application context. How can we develop a program that uses CXF to connect to more than one service?
