property injection in apache cxf using spring - web-services

Question

I have the following class
public class HeaderClass{
#Resource
private WebServiceContext webServiceContext;
public String getUserAgent() {
MessageContext msgCtx = webServiceContext.getMessageContext();
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)msgCtx.get(AbstractHTTPDestination.HTTP_REQUEST);
return request.getHeader("user-agent")
}
In my service bean class I want to inject this HeaderClass, so that I can use it there as follows:
package mypack;
#Path("/MyService")
public class MyServiceClass {
//May be some annotation has to be given here which I don't know
HeaderClass header;
public void useHeader() {
//Code to use the header
System.out.println(header.getUserAgent());
}
}
I have the following inside beans.xml file
<jaxrs:server id="SampleService" address="/">
<jaxrs:features>
<cxf:logging />
</jaxrs:features>
<jaxrs:serviceBeans>
<ref bean="MyServiceClass"/>
</jaxrs:serviceBeans>
</jaxrs:server>
<bean id="MyServiceClass" class="mypack.MyServiceClass"/>
I don't know how to add the property HeaderClass in the bean "MyServiceClass"
I am using apache cxf with spring configuration file (beans.xml).
Please help.

One way to achieve this is to add those lines to your beans.xml:
<bean id="HeaderClass" class="mypack.HeaderClass"/>
<bean id="MyServiceClass" class="mypack.MyServiceClass">
<property name="header" ref="HeaderClass" />
</bean>
You may also need to add a setHeader() method to your MyServiceClass.
