CXF's ConfigurerImpl has the addApplicationContext(ApplicationContext ac) method to update the Spring appllicationContext , when the bus loads new SpringBeans. JBossWSCXFConfigurer delegates the configuration work to CXF's ConfigurerImpl and not extend ConfigurerImpl .

In BusWiringBeanFactoryPostProcessor(invoked by JAXWSDefinitionParser when parse the <jaxws:endpoint>), there is code to call the addApplicationContext only if the Configuer instance is ConfiguerImpl:

public static void updateBusReferencesInContext(Bus bus, ApplicationContext ctx) {
Configurer conf = bus.getExtension(Configurer.class);
if (conf instanceof ConfigurerImpl)

{ ((ConfigurerImpl)conf).addApplicationContext(ctx); }

}

So after set the JBossWSCXFConfigurer for the CXF configuer , the BusDeploymentAspect fails to configure the logger interceptor to this endpoint in this sample:

<beans >
<!-Configure the logger interceptor by service name autowire->
<bean name="

{http://ws.jboss.org/jaxws_samples}

HelloService"
abstract="true">
<property name="inInterceptors">
<list>
<bean
class="org.apache.cxf.jaxws.LoggerInteceptor">
<constructor-arg value="service-in" />
</bean>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
<jaxws:endpoint
implementor='org.jboss.ws.jaxws.samples.EndpointImpl
transportId="http://cxf.apache.org/transports/jms">
</jaxws:endpoint>
</beans>
