Stephane Nicoll commented on CXF-6869:
--------------------------------------
Quick remark: on the spring boot side we tend to avoid creating too much
starters for the same library. We often had that request and it was always
rejected so far. We prefer that the user adds an additional dependency rather
than having to chose between several starters. Looking at the starters, the
only difference is one jar. Maybe you should settle for one starter and simply
let the user adds the other jar manually if needed?
> Consider adding Spring Boot starter
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: CXF-6869
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-6869
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Integration
> Reporter: Vedran Pavic
>
> I've recently authored a PR in Spring Boot to add support for
> auto-configuration of {{CXFServlet}} and default CXF's configuration:
> https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/pull/5659
> The PR was closed with "won't fix" resolution since Boot team are unwilling
> to add CXF as a dependency to the project. Instead a 3rd party starter was
> suggested.
> The concept of a 3rd party starter is generally encouraged for technologies
> that don't have first-class support in projects from Spring portfolio. Such
> 3rd party starters are listed here:
> https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/master/spring-boot-starters/README.adoc
> If CXF team is interested, I'm willing to port my PR to CXF.
> Note that the original PR was focused around JAX-WS support, but can be
> easily expanded to include JAX-RS support as well.
