The Apache Incubator CXF team is proud to announce the
availability of
the 2.0 release!
Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps
you build and
develop services using frontend programming APIs, like
JAX-WS. These
services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP,
XML/HTTP,
RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of
transports such as
HTTP, JMS or JBI.
CXF includes a broad feature set, but it is primarily
focused on the
following areas:
* Web Services Standards Support: CXF supports a variety of
web service
standards including SOAP, the Basic Profile, WSDL,
WS-Addressing,
WS-Policy, WS-ReliableMessaging, and WS-Security.
* Frontends: CXF supports a variety of "frontend"
programming models.
CXF provides a JAX-WS Compliant frontend. It also includes
a "simple
frontend" which allows creation of clients and
endpoints without
annotations. CXF supports both contract first development
with WSDL and
code first development starting from Java.
* Ease of use: CXF is designed to be intuitive and easy to
use. There
are simple APIs to quickly build code-first services,
Maven plug-ins
to make tooling integration easy, JAX-WS API support,
Spring 2.0 XML
support to make configuration a snap, and much more.
* Binary and Legacy Protocol Support: CXF has been designed
to provide
a pluggable architecture that supports not only XML but
also non-XML
type bindings, such as JSON and CORBA, in combination with
any type of
transport.
