cxf : can't find request url for Observer

Question

I am using spring with Apache CXF to create some rest resources. Looks like my jaxrs beans are not getting intialized.

WARNING: Can't find the the request for http://localhost:8080/cxf-sandbox/home-screen/v1/12345/predefined-templates/universal_template's Observer

What am I missing here?

I've configured for all requests to be routed to my CXF servlet

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

I've configured a jaxrs server bean and my rest resource bean

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"

<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-servlet.xml" />

<jaxrs:server id="myJaxServer" address="/home-screen">
    <jaxrs:serviceBeans>
        <ref bean="PredefinedHomeScreenResourceImpl" />
    </jaxrs:serviceBeans>
    <jaxrs:providers>

    </jaxrs:providers>
</jaxrs:server>
<bean id="PredefinedHomeScreenResourceImpl" class="PredefinedHomeScreenResourceImpl" />

This is my rest resource

@Path("/v1/{billingId}/predefined-templates")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public class PredefinedHomeScreenResourceImpl {

private final static Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(PredefinedHomeScreenResourceImpl.class);

@GET
@Path("/templateName")
public Response getPredefinedTemplate(String billingId, String templateName) {
    LOGGER.debug("IN HERE");        
    return Response.ok(new Employee("Abhijith")).build();
}

}

Model

@XmlRootElement(name="employee")
public class Employee {

@XmlElement(name = "name")
private String name;

public Employee(String name) {
    super();
    this.name = name;
}


}

Answer 1

I had failed to load the required context for my CXF servlet either as a part of the root context, i.e.,

<context-param>
    <description>locations of the Spring configuration files</description>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>WEB-INF/CXFServlet-servlet.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

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

or as a part of a seperate child application context, i.e.

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.CXFServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>config-location</param-name>
        <param-value>
            /WEB-INF/CXFServlet-servlet.xml
        </param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
