SOAP Web Services with Apache CXF and Spring Boot

This post is based on one I wrote a few years ago about building contract first web services with Apache CXF and Spring. The previous post didnt use Spring Boot and most of the Spring and CXF configuration was via XML. This post moves things forward a bit by using the latest version of CXF and Spring Boot.

Apache CXF - Contract First Web Services I wrote a post a few years ago detailing a step by step guide to building a contract first web service using Spring.  I recently started working with Apache CXF and thought it would be worth putting together a more up to date post, this time using CXF. We'll create a fictitious Account Service that takes a single account number parameter and returns associated account information. Although the sample service will be very simple, the approach taken should provide you with a solid foundation upon which to build real world services.
