Couldn't invoke a service with webclient through local transport in CXF 3.0

[Ragavan Thiru]

Hi,

I tried to access a service through local transport, but when I tried to
access it is giving the following exception[1]. I am exposing the service
as follows,

<jaxrs:server publishedEndpointUrl="local://test">
<jaxrs:providers>
<ref bean="jsonProvider" />
</jaxrs:providers>
<jaxrs:serviceBeans>
<ref bean="testBean" />
</jaxrs:serviceBeans>
</jaxrs:server>

and accessing as,

WebClient client = WebClient.create("local://test",
                Collections.singletonList(new JacksonJsonProvider()));
        path.append('/').append(operation);

        client = client.path(path);

        response = client.get();

I have added the following to the cxf-servlet as well,

 <bean class="org.apache.cxf.transport.local.LocalTransportFactory"
lazy-init="false">
      <property name="transportIds">
          <list>
              <value>http://cxf.apache.org/transports/local</value>
              <value>http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http</value>
              <value>http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/http</value>
          </list>
      </property>
  </bean>

I didn't do any other configurations. What am I missing?

I feel it is a version mismatch but all the cxf jars are of 3.0 and
jaxrs-bundle jar is 2.7.12
