             Summary: Leverage Spring's @Configuration mechanism to simplify the creation and configuration of client proxies for integration testing
                 Key: CXF-5091
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-5091
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: JAX-RS
            Reporter: Paul Wilson
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.0.0


Spring's Java-driven application context configuration mechanism "@Configuration" could be used to simplify system tests by abstracting the creation and configuration of client proxies. 

Spring 3.1 and later ships with a suite of @Enable* annotations that drive the registration of infrastructure beans within the application context. For example, @EnableWebMvc configures the application context with the relevant beans for Spring MVC. The @Enable* annotations are equivalent Spring bean configuration namespace registrations such as <mvc:annotation-driven/>.

A @EnableCxfRsClientProxy could be employed to simplify the creation and configuration of a single test client proxy:

{code}
public class MyIntegrationTest {

   @EnableCxfRsClientProxy    
   @Configuration
   static class ConfigureFooClientProxy extends CxfRsClientProxyAdapter {

       @Override
       public Class<?> getServiceType {
          return FooService.class;
       }

   }

   @Autowired
   private FooService clientProxy;

   @Test
   public void should() {
   }

}
{code}
