Most likely, you'll need to add a folder: src/main/webapp/WEB-INF
to your maven project and add into it your own web.xml that would contain the setups and stuff for your CXF servlet, your bean mappings, etc... That should allow the resulting war to have the required/proper mapping to make it directly deployable into tomcat/jetty/etc.. Actually, if you set your "packaging" in maven pom to "war" so "mvn install" will generate the war, then you can run it directly using the jetty or tomcat maven plugins. (mvn jetty:run) Also, the maven eclipse plugin would recognize the war packaging and wire it into the eclipse runners and such.
