The web.xml :

    <display-name>CXF REST Example</display-name>
<description>CXF REST Example</description>

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext-cxf.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

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

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>
        org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.CXFServlet
    </servlet-class>
</servlet>

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

The applicationContext-cxf.xml :

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

<jaxrs:server id="userService" address="/">
    <jaxrs:serviceBeans>
        <ref bean="userService" />
    </jaxrs:serviceBeans>
</jaxrs:server>

The service interface :

@Path("v1")
public interface UserService {
    @GET
    @Path("user")
    @Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
    public User getUser();
}

The service implementation :

@Service("userService")
public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService {

    public User getUser() {
        User u = new User();
        u.setFirstName("plop");
        u.setLastName("plop");
        u.setEmail("[email protected]");
        u.setUuid("1");

        return u;
    }

}

Thanks a lot for the help ! This problem kills me !

Answer 1

I think your problem is here:

<jaxrs:server id="userService" address="/">
    <jaxrs:serviceBeans>
        <ref bean="userService" />
    </jaxrs:serviceBeans>
</jaxrs:server>

You're creating a bean named "userService" referencing a bean named "userService". Maybe change the bean name of the jaxrs:server endpoint to something different from "userService"?
