  • JAXB 2.0 Databinding support
  • JSON support with Jettison

  • MTOM attachment support

  • Simple POJO service frontend
  • _javascript_ frontend
  • JBI Service Engine. CXF services can be deployed into any JBI compliant container (ServiceMix or OpenESB)

Samples

To run samples included in the binary distribution of Apache CXF, you must install the Apache Ant 1.6.5 build utility, which can be downloaded from:

http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi

After installing Apache Ant, add the <AntInstallDir>/bin directory to your PATH.

Building the samples included in the binary distribution is easy. Go to the samples directory and follow the build instructions in the README.txt file included with each sample.

Errata

  • Since JAX-WS TCK testing has not been completed, there is still a chance our internal APIs may change. We do not know of any required changes at this point though.
  • The WS-Security configuration mechanisms may change between this release and the next one.
