OData4j and CXF with Spring

Question

I am attempting to integrate odata4j into an existing CXF service application. The servlet already hosts an existing soap and rest service. My application server is tomcat.

My web.xml:

<servlet>
        <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name>
        <display-name>CXF Servlet</display-name>
        <servlet-class>
            org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.CXFServlet
        </servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
        <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

The existing soap and rest services are configured via jaxrs and jaxws configuration files.

I have created my JPA OData Producer Factory:

public class CmecfOdataProducerFactoryImpl implements ODataProducerFactory {
    String namespace = "MyOData";
    private int maxResults = 100;
    @Override
    public ODataProducer create(Properties prprts) {

        String persistenceName = null;
        try {
            persistenceName = ServiceLocator.getInstance().getResource("java:/comp/env/persistenceUnitName", String.class);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(CmecfOdataProducerFactoryImpl.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
        EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(persistenceName);
        JPAProducer producer = new JPAProducer(emf, namespace, maxResults);

        return producer;
    }
}

What is the cleanest way to include this odata service?

Thanks for any help!

There is nothing to do just add your odata JPA factory in web.xml file. below web.xml configuration will work without fail, put your JPA factory package properly.

<servlet>     
<servlet-name>JPAFactory</servlet-name>     
<servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>     
<init-param>       
<param-name>javax.ws.rs.Application</param-name>       
<param-value>org.odata4j.jersey.producer.resources.ODataApplication</param-value>     
</init-param> 
<init-param> 
<param-name>odata4j.producerfactory</param-name> 
<param-value>**your packageName**.CmecfOdataProducerFactoryImpl </param-value> 
</init-param> 
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>   
</servlet>   
<servlet-mapping>     
<servlet-name>JPAFactory</servlet-name>     
<url-pattern>/jpaproducer.svc/*</url-pattern>   
</servlet-mapping>
