             Summary: Deprecate Spring integration
                 Key: JBWS-3884
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWS-3884
             Project: JBoss Web Services
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: jbossws-cxf, jbossws-integration
            Reporter: Alessio Soldano
            Assignee: Alessio Soldano
             Fix For: jbossws-cxf-5.0


The JBossWS integration with Spring has been evolving a lot since the initial prototype in 3.x series. WIth the latest additions in JBossWS 5 (see linked jiras), it's now time to deprecate the Spring integration, that is the ability of declaring ws endpoints and clients using spring based descriptors. This has proven to be a difficult to maintain solution and with the current stack functionalities there's really no reason for relying on it. We do have valid alternatives for configuring interceptors, features, setting WS-* options, controlling CXF internals, performing injection into EE components, etc.
In any case, the Spring integration has been disabled by default (optionally turned on by manually installing spring module on the container) since JBoss AS 7 series and users should now be properly relying on plain JAX-WS whenever possible and using WS-Policy and JBossWS configuration properties for advanced WS-* functionalities.
