cxf file syntax for multiple port access?
Is it possible to have a cxf.xml file which has two sets of
authentication parameters, each one selectable on the basis of which
instance of the Web Service is being communicated with?
My goal here is to have one application, deployable on both our test and
production tiers that determines the service url and authentication
parameters based on the environment it runs in (say by properties files).
If so, what would such cxf.xml file look like?

Actually, does -Dcxf.config.file work at all?
The Spring library version I'm using is 2.0.8 and I find that placing
this definition on the command line (of Tomcat in my case) doesn't work
at all. Although the property is seen among the system properties, my
cxf file is blissfully ignored.
The ONLY way I can get it to work is to place it on the classpath within
the war file.
I can't find any way to make selection of a cxf configuration file
programatically determined.
HELP!

After having done some of my own investigation I find the following here
: http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/configuration.html
"CXF can discover XML configuration files which you have written. For
both web service clients and servers, the default location that CXF will
look for a configuration for is "/cxf.xml" on the class path. If you
wish to override this location, you can specify a command line property:
-Dcxf.config.file=some_other_config.xml. To use a url as the
configuration location, specify as follows:
-Dcxf.config.file.url=config_file_url."
I want to have TWO CXF configuration files on my classpath, neither
called cxf.xml, that is, both will be in the WAR file. Is there a way,
using the syntax above to describe classpath resources, as opposed to
files or URLs. I guess another way of asking this is: is it possible to
describe classpath resources with URL syntax? But in any case, how can
I do this?

There is a PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer thing in spring that can be used for
this. That said, you may need the latest 2.1.x snapshots depending on what
you need to configure. I just fixed the TLSClientParameters in the
http:conduit yesterday. :-(
That said, I haven't actually tried using the PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer
thing. I've just seen bugs related to it. That would be something to
google though. :-)
