No easy way to set JAXBDataBinding.contextProperties
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CXF-2778
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2778
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.2.7
            Reporter: Grzegorz Oledzki


Usually you provide context classes to the {[JAXBDataBinding}}, but it's not the only information you might want to provide. In our case we need to provide our own {{AnnotationReader}}, which can be set by providing a special parameter to the {{JAXBDataBinding.contextParameters}}, e.g.:
{code}
properties.put(JAXBRIContext.ANNOTATION_READER, new OurAnnotationReader());
dataBinding.setContextProperties(properties);
{code}

There seems to be no easy way to provide these context parameters to the binding if you still wanted the default binding to be created by {{ReflectionServiceFactoryBean}}. Currently in our code we had to do the following which seems to be overcomplicated:
{code}
JaxWsServerFactoryBean factory = new JaxWsServerFactoryBean();
factory.setServiceClass(serviceInterface);
factory.setServiceBean(serviceBean);
factory.setAddress(url);
Map<String, Object> serverProperties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
serverProperties.put("jaxb.additionalContextClasses", contextClassesArr);
factory.setProperties(serverProperties);

// here comes the trick to set the context properties for JAXBBinding
factory.getServiceFactory().setProperties(serverProperties);
JAXBDataBinding dataBinding = (JAXBDataBinding) serviceFactory.getDataBinding();
contextProperties.put(JAXBRIContext.ANNOTATION_READER, new OurAnnotationReader());
dataBinding.setContextProperties(contextProperties);
factory.getServiceFactory().setDataBinding(dataBinding);                      // without it doesn't work, because of reset() method

Server ret = factory.create();
{code}

The trick is quite complicated. It wasn't so complicated when CXF 2.2.3 was used. Since 2.2.3 a new method {{reset()}} has been added to {{ReflectionServiceFactoryBean}}, which resets (sets to null) a data binding which was already configured. In CXF 2.2.3 one could skip setting properties on service factory (setting them on {{JaxWsServerFactoryBean}} was enough) and skip {{setDataBinding(dataBinding)}}, because data binding was not created many times.


I believe there should be a simple programmatic interface for providing contextProperties to be used whenever a JAXBDataBinding is created by {{ReflectionServiceFactoryBean}}.
