Hi, I have an app, doesn't leverage spring presently. I'd like to keep it that way. In CXF 2.7.x, I used to use Endpoint.publish(path,implementor) to create my endpoints. It seems that now in CXF 3.0.x, that same call has some internal dependencies on Spring. Namely ServerFactoryBean [1] is referencing ClassHelper, where ClassHelper is referencing Spring classes for CGLIB proxies. It turns out my solution was in [2], however I'm wondering if we can improve the checking and verify the existence of the Spring class before this check? No need to set a system property then.
