Hi Guillaume,
Good questions. We could face lots of situations without Service
Endpoint Interface (SEI) provided for the endpoint.
Current CXF DynmaicClientFactory[1] can create a client just use by
passing the wsdl url information into it , and use XJC to build up the
type classes for the message marshal and unmarshal .
For the Server side, I think we can do the same thing here by using
WSDL2Java to generate the SEI and type class.
So we could support both WSDL first and Code first programing mode here,
and the SEI just be a optional parameter.

That's a bit better.
But what if your service is not implemented using jaxws ? If you have
a BPEL process rather than a pojo ? Or if your service is implemented
by multiple small services and you use a CBR using the operation name
to dispatch the request ?
Or whatever use case one can imagine...
On the consumer side, the role of CXF is to handle SOAP and WS-*
stuff. This mainly relies on the WSDL rather than on a POJO. Using
the pojo will certainly be handy if using code first approach, but we
also need to support wsdl first, and especially when there is no POJO
at all...
I see the externalEndpoint uses a wsdlURL... (relative to what ?) Can
both endpoints use only the WSDL so that the serviceClass becomes
optional ?

Hi Guillaume,
Oh, I got your means.
I don't want to instantiate the Service from Spring , I just want to
pass enough endpoint information to build the CXF Service. I check the
server object code, and I know I can't set the invoker of a already
created server .
So I changed my proposal to use a customized CxfEndpointBean instead
of the already instantiate server object or client object.
Here is the changed example:
<cxf:CxfEndpointBean id= "routerPoint"
serviceClass="org.apache.cxf.service.factory.HelloService"
address="http://localhost:8000/router";
serviceName="s:XMLService"
xmlns:s="http://apache.org/hello_world_soap_http";
endpointName="s:XMLPort" />
<cxf:CxfEndpointBean id= "externalPoint"
serviceClass="org.apache.cxf.service.factory.HelloService"
address="http://localhost:8000/RealService";
wsdlURL = "wsdl/hello_world"
serviceName="s:XMLService"
xmlns:s="http://apache.org/hello_world_soap_http";
endpointName="s:XMLPort" />
<camelContext id="camel"
xmlns="http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/spring";>
<route>
<from uri="cxf://CxfEndpointBean=routerPoint"/>
<to uri="cxf://CxfEndpointBean=externalPoint"/>
</route>
</camelContext>
I will add the ServerFactoryBean and ClientFactoryBean configuration with
CxfEndpointBean code into the cxf component. So we still instantiate the server
or the client as we always do in the CXF component .
Thanks,
Willem.

I'm still very concerned about the fact that we have to instanciate
the service on the server side if it is not actually used (requests
are just forwarded). Can we configure the server to just use a WSDL
instead ?

Can you explain a bit what this route is supposed to do ?
Is this supposed to accept requests on
http://localhost:8080/simpleWithAddress
and route them to an external service on
http://localhost:9000/foo2
Yes , it is exactly working as your said.
I just omitted the address information from the endpoint URI , because
they are already in the Spring bean's configuration.
