Robin,
The second bean definition was added because in one of the Spring versions
that we were using (2.5.4 I think, maybe 2.5.2), it couldn't find the bean to
inject. The injector was just doing field.getClass().getName() to determine
the bean name. We didn't have a bean of that name and thus nothing got
injected.
The @Resource definitely should work. Not sure why that didn't work.
Hmm..... Not good.
At one point for 2.1.3, I actually added the bean:
<bean
class="org.springframework.context.annotation.CommonAnnotationBeanPostProcessor"/>
to the META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml file and ran all the tests to make sure CXF would
work properly letting Spring do all the injection. Nothing failed so I kind
of assumed it was working fine. Any chance you could create a small test
project (maven based would be awesome :-) to show the issue? Definitely
easier to debug then. Maybe add a bunch of WebServiceContext fields with
different annotations to show what works and doesn't work. That would be
great.
