Apache CXF and Spring but no WSDL (recursive links) - spring

Question

I have written a small sample web service, using Apache CXF (CXFServlet) and Spring (ContextLoaderListener) I have registered the CXFServlet to listen on the / url. And I am declaring my beans in beans.xml.
When I start the web service with tomcat and go to the service url, then I can see the web service definition (e.g. methods, endpoint, wsdl link). But the problem is that when I click on the wsdl link, then I do not get the WSDL file, but instead I am recursively forwarded back to the same page, but each time the name of the web service address is appended:
localhost:8080/Test/accountEndpoint
localhost:8080/Test/accountEndpointaccountEndpoint
localhost:8080/Test/accountEndpointaccountEndpointaccountEndpoint
The service is a "code-first" service which a #WebService annotated java interface and a implementation class.

<bean id="account" class=".....AccountImpl" />
<jaxws:endpoint id="accountEndpoint" implementor="#account"
address="accountEndpoint" />
</beans>
As I understand it, CXF should automatically generate the WSDL file and provide it to me, when I click on the link, so I do not understand why that is not happening.

Answer 1

Specify the address this way, with a leading slash:
<jaxws:endpoint id="accountEndpoint" implementor="#account"
address="/accountEndpoint" />
Sorry, making a change, the above is not correct:
You are right, I am able to replicate the behavior with mapping CXFServlet to the "default" servlet path mapping of /, the fix that I could get to work for myself is to map it to /* instead:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>cxf</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
