Autodiscover JAX-RS resources with CXF in a Spring application

Question

Is it possible with Apache CXF (2.7.0) to automatically discover JAX-RS resources in the classpath? That is, classes annotated with @Path.

Answer 1

It doesn't look like there's a way to do this with Spring configuration at this time in CXF 2.7. If you look at resteasy they've implemented a BeanFactoryPostProcessor SpringBeanProcessor.java that looks for @Path and @Provider. Something similar could be probably be done in CXF but it doesn't appear to be implemented yet. Looks like you're not the only one interested CXF-3725
