JAVA | CXF JAXRS Non-Spring client

Question

We are trying to come up with a non-spring client for our cxf jaxrs services. (Not a web-client)

We have the following element in our spring-context (for enabling kerberos authentication):

<http:conduit name="*.http-conduit">
        <http:authorization>
            <sec:AuthorizationType>Negotiate</sec:AuthorizationType>
        </http:authorization>
</http:conduit>

Any idea how this can be converted to java code ?

Sample client code:

JAXRSClientFactoryBean clientBean = new JAXRSClientFactoryBean();
clientBean.setResourceClass(ServiceClassName.class);
clientBean.setAddress(restful-service-url);

CXF documentation doesn't specify this clearly : http://cxf.apache.org/docs/jax-rs-client-api.html#JAX-RSClientAPI-CreatingclientsprogrammaticallywithnoSpringdependencies

Thanks,

dma_k was pointing you to the correct information for SOAP services. If you are looking to the direct answer for REST services, check http://cxf.apache.org/docs/jax-rs-client-api.html#JAX-RSClientAPI-ConfiguringClientsatRuntime

YourService proxy = JAXRSClientFactory.create(YourService.class);
ClientConfiguration config = WebClient.getConfig(proxy);
HTTPConduit conduit1 = (HTTPConduit)config.getConduit();
System.out.println(conduit1.getClient().getProxyServer());

This code allows you to access the conduit of your REST service, and then configure it as you want. You just have to pass through the WebClient.getConfig() method.
