Apache CXF interceptor configuration

Question

I created a SOAP interceptor as described in CXF docs:

public class SoapMessageInterceptor extends AbstractSoapInterceptor {
    public SoapMessageInterceptor() {
        super(Phase.USER_PROTOCOL);
    }
    public void handleMessage(SoapMessage soapMessage) throws Fault {
        // ...
    }
}

and registered it with the bus in Spring's application context:

  <cxf:bus>
    <cxf:inInterceptors>
      <ref bean="soapMessageInterceptor"/>
    </cxf:inInterceptors>
  </cxf:bus>

  <jaxws:endpoint id="customerWebServiceSoap"
        implementor="#customerWebServiceSoapEndpoint"
        address="/customerService"/>

All was working fine until I added a REST service:

  <jaxrs:server id="customerWebServiceRest" address="/rest">
    <jaxrs:serviceBeans>
      <ref bean="customerWebServiceRestEndpoint" />
    </jaxrs:serviceBeans>
  </jaxrs:server>

The problems is that the SOAP interceptor is now being triggered on REST requests also, which results in a class cast exception when the REST service is invoked.

<ns1:XMLFault xmlns:ns1="http://cxf.apache.org/bindings/xformat">
  <ns1:faultstring xmlns:ns1="http://cxf.apache.org/bindings/xformat">
    java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.cxf.message.XMLMessage
    cannot be cast to org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.SoapMessage
  </ns1:faultstring>
</ns1:XMLFault>

Is there any way to restrict the interceptor to SOAP messages only through configuration?

Update

Looks like I missed the page in the docs that describes this. Scroll down to Difference between JAXRS filters and CXF interceptors

You can attach interceptors to an individual endpoint rather than to the bus:

<jaxws:endpoint id="customerWebServiceSoap"
    implementor="#customerWebServiceSoapEndpoint"
    address="/customerService">
  <jaxws:inInterceptors>
    <ref bean="soapMessageInterceptor"/>
  </jaxws:inInterceptors>
</jaxws:endpoint>
