Description

The current WebClient.create() methods only support either using a fresh bus, or creating a new bus from a Spring config file. It should be possible to reuse an existing Spring bus, so you can for instance enter your <http:conduit> elements in your usual Spring config.

The same issue was asked before on the mailing list, but without an answer.

I have found a workaround, but I don't find it too pretty:

    <http:conduit name="*.http-conduit">
        <http:client ConnectionTimeout="3000000" ReceiveTimeout="3000000" />
        <http:tlsClientParameters>
            <sec:keyManagers keyPassword="pass">
                <sec:keyStore resource="mykeystore.jks" password="pass" type="JKS" />
            </sec:keyManagers>
        </http:tlsClientParameters>
    </http:conduit>

    <bean id="myWebClientFactory" class="org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.spring.JAXRSClientFactoryBeanDefinitionParser.JAXRSSpringClientFactoryBean">
        <property name="address" value="${myurl}" />
        <property name="providers">
            <list>
                <bean class="org.codehaus.jackson.jaxrs.JacksonJaxbJsonProvider" />
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>

    <bean id="myWebClient" factory-bean="myWebClientFactory" factory-method="createWebClient" />
