The easiest way is to simply use the cxf-spring-boot-starter incl. it's companion Maven plugin, they will take care of generating mostly everything needed from your wsdl and schema files. Here's a full example: https://github.com/codecentric/spring-samples/tree/master/cxf-boot-simple.

Using the starter in your pom.xml, you just have to place the wsdl & schema files in src/main/resources and you're mostly done. Here's a full example pom.xml:

    4.0.0

    de.codecentric.soap
    cxf-boot-simple
    2.0.0-SNAPSHOT
    jar
