Spring Boot Apache CXF JAX-RS service context path / base URI

Question

I configure my JAXRS Server in Spring Boot like so:

    JAXRSServerFactoryBean factoryBean = new JAXRSServerFactoryBean();
    factoryBean.setBus(this.bus);
    factoryBean.setFeatures(singletonList(swagger2Feature()));
    factoryBean.setServiceBeans(Arrays.asList(blah(), blah2(), blah3()));
    factoryBean.setAddress("/api/v1/"); // HERE

    List<Object> providers = new ArrayList<>();
    providers.add(new JacksonJaxbJsonProvider());
    factoryBean.setProviders(providers);

    BindingFactoryManager manager = factoryBean.getBus().getExtension(BindingFactoryManager.class);
    JAXRSBindingFactory restFactory = new JAXRSBindingFactory();
    restFactory.setBus(factoryBean.getBus());
    manager.registerBindingFactory(JAXRSBindingFactory.JAXRS_BINDING_ID, restFactory);

    return factoryBean.create();

However, the URLs always require /services in front, which is a nuisance (but not the end of the world). Is there any way I can remove /services and just get it deployed to the root context?

If you have not created your own CxfServlet bean you can set the path by setting cxf.path property in your application.properties file

cxf.path=/

Another way is to override ServletRegistrationBean.

@Bean
public ServletRegistrationBean cxfServletRegistration() {
    String urlMapping = "/*";
    ServletRegistrationBean registration = new ServletRegistrationBean(
            new CXFServlet(), urlMapping);
    registration.setLoadOnStartup(-1);
    return registration;
}
