Hi Philippe,
CXF REST services actually support clients of any programming language
capable of doing REST API calls.
If you want to generate client code, pls check out Swagger-Codegen
(http://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen), it currently supports
around 40 programming languages (client/server stubs), all the languages
you listed are already there (JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Perl).
It allows you to actually generate the client code in any language
provided by Swagger contract. You can create the Swagger contract
yourself or generate the contract dynamically using CXF SwaggerFeature
(http://cxf.apache.org/docs/swagger2feature.html). If you want to
generate the CXF application itself from an existing Swagger contract,
you can take a look at a talk I did yesterday at DevFest Vienna
(http://www.slideshare.net/johannes_fiala/how-to-generate-a-rest-application).
Pls also try the Javascript generator there (Disclaimer: I added the
basic generator for Javascript last year) and give feedback there. The
Javascript calls are per se asynchronous & it supports AMD like RequireJs.
If you want an overview of the Javascript features, you can watch a
short talk I did at dotjs last year after creating the Javascript
language generator:

Best regards,
Johannes

One of the fundamental characteristics and advantages of web-services is that
it allows different environments, different operating system, different
programming languages to interact.
Does Apache CXF support clients in other other languages (especially dynamic
languages like JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Perl,...)?
The answer to that question is not clearly stated anywhere in CXF
documentation. If CXF supports clients in other languages, then SAMPLE
SOURCE CODES SHOULD BE PROVIDED! It's not enough to say yes.
We must separate the two cases of synchronous functions and asynchronous
functions. I would like to see sample code in JavaScript and Python for
call to synchronous web-service in CXF. This might be possible, but some
sample code would be helpful.
I am particularly interested in seeing how a client in another computer
language than Java like JavaScript or Python can call an asynchronous
web-service in Apache CXF. Asynchronous web-service in CXF uses classes
like Future<?>, AsyncHandler<?>. These classes don't map directly to
classes in JavaScript and other languages. I am not aware of any
correspondence across computer languages.
I have a strong feeling that a different language like JavaScript requires a
software framework in order to write a client that can call Apache CXF
web-services. Does such framework exist? If yes, it should be mentioned
in the documentation. If such framework does not exist, then Apache CXF
should write one for the major other programming languages (JavaScript,
Python, Ruby, Perl, ....etc)
