The Apache Software Foundation
The Apache CXF team is proud to announce the availability of the 2.2 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 WSI Basic Profile, WSDL, WS-Addressing, WS-
Policy, WS-ReliableMessaging, and WS-Security.
* REST based service creation based on JAX-RS standard API's.
* Frontends: CXF supports a variety of "frontend" programming models. CXF
provides a JAX-WS 2.1 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.
What's new in CXF 2.2:
* WS-SecurityPolicy support
* WS-SecureConversation
* Some WS-Trust support (client side)
* JAX-RS 1.0 (not TCK compliant yet)
* MANY MANY bugfixes, performance enhancements, etc... Too numerous to list
individually.
