CXF 2.0 发布了

虽然这篇帖子写得有的晚了，但是还是想把CXF 2.0 发布的消息告诉大家。

下面是转至 CXF dev maillist的发布信息。

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.


This release contains the following features:

* JAX-WS Compliant frontend - Apache CXF has now passed the standalone
   JAX-WS TCK.
* Java2WSDL and WSDL2Java tools and Maven plugin
* SOAP 1.1 & 1.2, XML and RESTful HTTP bindings
* JAXB 2.0 Databinding support
* WSDL 1.1 support
* WS-Addressing, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Security, and WS-Policy support
* MTOM attachment support
* HTTP, Servlet, JMS and Local Transports
* Simple POJO service frontend
* Javascript frontend
* JBI Service Engine. CXF services can be deployed into any JBI
   compliant container (ServiceMix or OpenESB)
* JCA 1.0 support, J2EE application can integrate with legacy
   application through JCA 1.0 support in CXF
* Spring Support
* JSON support with Jettison
* Many other bug fixes and feature enhancements

有时间的话想去下个来玩玩，不过是新接触，有相应文档或者是有高手开发经验的话是最好了

这里是用户使用手册 http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/index.html

严重不同意楼上的观点。

楼上还是先耐心读完介绍在下结论。

CXF是Xfire 和 Celtix 联姻的结果，CXF和Xfire还是有很大差距的。

CXF 提供了很多Xfire不提供的功能，例如 支持多种Binding 
XML/HTTP, RESTful HTTP, CORBA
支持多种Transport HTTP JMS or JBI.

some history:
objectweb Celtix -> objectweb Celtix + codehaus Xfire -> Apache CeltiXire -> Apache CXF

xfire 2.0 is cxf

能否这样理解：
快速发布自己的类或接口为webservice？
它会自行反射调用？

可惜不支持事务，在企业应用级上缺失了重要一环。
而Sun的Metro(又叫WSIT,Tango)对标准的支持，与.Net的交互都好一点。

要说开发方便，还是sun提供的工具好用。
