CXF, Spring, Security avoiding web.xml ... possible?

[blacar]

Hi

I am developing a CXF based REST api using spring and embedded jetty.

I know i can expose REST services very easy and clean just declaring the
service beans in the application context like:

        <jaxrs:server id="restfulservices" address="/services">
                <jaxrs:serviceBeans>
                        <bean
class="com.aver.restful.TimeOfTheDayServiceImpl" />
                </jaxrs:serviceBeans>
                <jaxrs:extensionMappings>
                        <entry key="json" value="application/json" />
                        <entry key="xml" value="application/xml" />
                        <entry key="plain" value="text/plan" />
                </jaxrs:extensionMappings>
                <jaxrs:languageMappings />
        </jaxrs:server>

NOW ... i want to add some security (easiest possible way, starting with
username/password plain text) ...  but in all and every examples i've seen
there is a web.xml for declaring filter, listener, and servlet.

Is there any way to avoid that web.xml file and get everithing i need
declared in applicationContext?

For example this web.xml made for spring-security:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC &quot;-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web
Application 2.3//EN&quot;
                        
&quot;http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd&quot;>
<web-app>
        <display-name>JAX-RS CXF Application</display-name>

        <filter>
                <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
               
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy</filter-class>
        </filter>

        <filter-mapping>
                <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
                <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
        </filter-mapping>

        <listener>
               
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
        </listener>

        <listener>
               
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener</listener-class>
        </listener>

        <servlet>
                <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name>
               
<servlet-class>org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.CXFServlet</servlet-class>
                <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
        </servlet>

        <servlet-mapping>
                <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name>
                <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
        </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>


If you can help me it would help me to understand how CXF works.

Thanks in advance,

RBC
