Using CXF with Spring Boot Actuator - servlets

Question

I am working on a web service host application in which using cxf with spring boot. when I register cxf servlet with following code web service side works and I can see published wsdls.
However after setting cxf servlet Spring boot actuator and rest endpoints not working and returning 404. How can I solve this issue ?
#Bean
public ServletRegistrationBean cxfServlet() {
return new ServletRegistrationBean(new CXFServlet(), "/soap-api/*");
}

Answer 1

Although I dont know the reason, when I set a name like below it starts working.
#Bean
public ServletRegistrationBean cxfServlet() {
ServletRegistrationBean cxf = new ServletRegistrationBean(new CXFServlet(), "/soap-api/*");
cxf.setName("cxfServlet");
return cxf;
}

Here is simple spring boot configuration I use.
#Configuration
#Import(value = { JaxRsConfig.class })
public class CxfRestConfig {
#Bean
public ServletRegistrationBean servletRegistrationBean() {
return new ServletRegistrationBean(new CXFServlet(), "/cxf/*");
}
#Component
public class CustomSpringComponentScanServer
extends AbstractSpringComponentScanServer {
#Override
protected String getAddress() {
return "/api";
}
#Bean
public Server jaxRsServer() {
super.getFeatures().add(new LoggingFeature());
return super.createJaxRsServer();
}
}
}
Note: With ComponentScanner you need to annotate your service class with Spring annotations along with #Path Annotation at class level.
If you do not want list of apis in http://localhost:8080/cxf you can directly remove the custom class I had written and you can import directly as shown below.
#Import(value = { JaxRsConfig.class, SpringComponentScanServer.class })

I was getting the same problem with Kotlin and this post indirectly helped me. My code was like this
#Bean
fun dispatcherServlet(): ServletRegistrationBean<CXFServlet>? {
return ServletRegistrationBean(CXFServlet(), "/*")
}
After changing the method name from dispatcherServlet to cxfServlet the actuator magically started to work.
#Bean
fun cxfServlet(): ServletRegistrationBean<CXFServlet>? {
return ServletRegistrationBean(CXFServlet(), "/*")
}
I guess it was conflicting with some Spring default servlet.

I looks like there is a clash between servlets.
You can check it in your logs. There should be:
2017-04-01 15:34:04,029 [restartedMain] INFO o.s.b.w.s.ServletRegistrationBean - Mapping servlet: 'CXFServlet' to [/soap-api/*]
2017-04-01 15:34:04,031 [restartedMain] INFO o.s.b.w.s.ServletRegistrationBean - Mapping servlet: 'dispatcherServlet' to [/]
There should be exactly two servlets and the path should be different.
If there is one missing the enpoints won't work.
dispatcherServlet is spring default one to handle actuator metrics
