Is it possible to use CXF with Tomcat and without Spring? If so, how?

You can configure CXF programmatically without Spring. See the code examples here. Putting the web application context path together with the end point extension--Greeter in the code example--will display a summary page in the browser with a link to the WSDL.

No Spring necessary, giving CXF a very small footprint. I found the only jars necessary to be (for CXF 2.2.1):

  • XmlSchema-1.4.5.jar
  • cxf-2.2.3.jar
  • wsdl4j-1.6.2.jar

I believe neethi-2.0.4.jar may also be necessary for some configurations, but I haven't needed it.

Have fun!
