Extra CXF Component Configurations

On your canvas, click the Global Elements tab, then click the Create button, then select CXF Configuration from the list of available options under Component configurations.

Configure the global CXF configuration attributes according to the table below.

Click the Message Flow tab to return to your canvas.

Open the Pattern Properties panel of the CXF component, again.

Use the drop down menu in the Config Reference field to select the global CXF element you created.

Click OK to save your changes to the CXF component.

Above all flows in your Mule project, add a global <cxf:configuration> element. Refer to code sample below.

Configure the global CXF configuration attributes according to the table below.

To the CXF element within your flow, add a configuration-ref attribute to reference the global CXF configuration element. Refer to code sample below.

<mule xmlns:cxf="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/cxf"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/cxf http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/cxf/current/mule-cxf.xsd">

    <cxf:configuration name="CXF_Configuration" enableMuleSoapHeaders="true" initializeStaticBusInstance="true" doc:name="CXF Configuration" configurationLocation="src/test/resources/filename.xml"/>

    <http:listener-config name="listener-config" host="localhost" port="8081"/>
    <http:request-config name="request-config" host="localhost"
port="8081"/>
    <flow name="example_flow1" doc:name="example_flow1">
        <http:listener config-ref="listener-config" path="/" doc:name="HTTP Connector"/>
        <cxf:jaxws-client doc:name="SOAP" configuration-ref="CXF_Configuration"/>
        <http:request config-ref="request-config" path="/" method="POST" doc:name="HTTP Connector"/>
    </flow>

Open the properties editor, then click on the Interceptors tab.

Click on the plus sign icon to reveal the four Interceptor Providers CXF uses to add interceptors to interceptor chains; click one of the choices to add an interceptor provider.

Double-click the newly created interceptor provider in the Settings pane to open the interceptor provider panel.

Use the drop down menu in the Beans field to select from your list of existing beans the one that will act as an interceptor.

Click the add to list button to insert the selected bean into the interceptor chain.

Click Finish, then OK to save your interceptor configurations.

Above all flows in your Mule project, create a global spring:bean element to import the Java class you have built to specify the interceptor’s behavior. Refer to code sample below.

To the CXF element in your flow, add a child element according to the type of action you want the interceptor to perform:

As a child element of the CXF interceptor element, add a reference to the spring bean, spring:ref bean, you created which imports the Java class.

Add as many as four interceptor child elements to your CXF service or client component.

Open the Pattern Properties panel, then click on the Advanced tab.

Adjust configurations as needed according to the table below, then click OK to save your changes.

Within the context of the CXF framework, data binding refers to the mapping of data from XML documents to Java objects. You can specify the databinding of your client or service, if you wish. (Not configurable on proxy service or proxy client.) The following are the different types of databinding available:

To the CXF element in your flow, add a child element according to the type of databinding you want your service or client to use:

As a child element of the CXF databinding element, add one or more spring:property elements with either a name and value, or name and reference, to define any databinding properties. Refer to the code sample below.

Define a cxf: schemalocations attribute, if you wish, to identify a namespace to which your service should refer. (Not configurable on JAX-WS client, simple client, or proxy client.) Reference schemaLocation for additional details. To the CXF element in your flow (below any interceptor elements, if you have added any), add a ` cxf:schemaLocations ` child element.

Within the cxf:schemaLocations element, add a cxf:schemaLocation child element, to specify the URL of the schema to which your service should refer. Refer to code sample below.

As per your specific needs, configure any of the following CXF service or client attributes according to the table below. Refer to the code sample below.
