Hi Richard, This is not the first time I read this question. I would also be interested in the answer from an expert. I am working with Spring WS at the moment, and there we have an @Action annotation. If methods are annotated with it, Spring uses the wsa:Action of the incoming SOAP requests to route them to the processors (and not the type of the SOAP body). I really miss this feature from CXF. There are so many reasons why I would recommend for my bosses to move from Spring WS to CXF, but as we have a system where wsa:Action is the addressing approach chosen, I am still waiting for a good wsa:Action based routing solution from CXF.
So Richard, I am afraid CXF simply routes the SOAP requests based on the type of the SOAP body. And it ignores the wsa:Action. I just suspect this, not sure.
