Description

I am trying to declare an endpoint like this in my spring context:

    <cxf:cxfEndpoint  
         xmlns:cxf="http://camel.apache.org/schema/cxf"
         id="myEndpoint" address="${myUrl}"/>

I want to use it in a route like this: .to("cxf:bean:myEndpoint?dataFormat=PAYLOAD")

I am not using rs, but the cxf NamespaceHandler has a dependency CxfRsClientFactoryBeanDefinitionParser which again has a dependency on org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.client.JAXRSClientFactoryBean so I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.

I found a workaround - not using the cxf namespace and declaring a bean of class org.apache.camel.component.cxf.CxfSpringEndpoint.
But the error was a bit hard to diagnose.

Could the NamespaceHandler lazy-load the xxxBeanDefinitionParser instances so that the class CxfRsClientFactoryBeanDefinitionParser doesn't get loaded if I don't have a cxf:rsClient tag?
