## Class AbstractFeature

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.cxf.feature.AbstractFeature

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Feature
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    FastInfosetFeature, LoggingFeature, SchemaValidationFeature, StaxTransformFeature, WrappedFeature, WSAddressingFeature

      public abstract class AbstractFeature
      extends Object
      implements Feature

  A Feature is something that is able to customize a Server, Client, or Bus, typically adding capabilities. For instance, there may be a LoggingFeature which configures one of the above to log each of their messages.

  By default the initialize methods all delegate to initializeProvider(InterceptorProvider). If you're simply adding interceptors to a Server, Client, or Bus, this allows you to add them easily.
