CXF checks for a configuration file in the classpath on startup and, if it finds the file, uses it to set property values.

CXF provides several ready-to-use interceptors and also allows you to add your own.

Front-end modeling: CXF provides the concept of front-end modeling, which lets you create Web services using different front-end APIs.

Like the other stacks, CXF uses request and response processing flows composed of configurable components.

The next Java web services installment continues with CXF, this time looking at performance.

And like the other stacks, CXF models service operations as method calls and service port types as interfaces.

Apache CXF allows you to build web service applications that are fully integrated with internal business logic.

In this article we did not use any of the cxf-dosgi API classes in our pojo service bundle.

Just as with the other stacks, I found some CXF problems in testing for these articles.

These messages do not indicate any problems in the code and will probably be eliminated in later versions of CXF.

This is to be expected in the case of Metro and CXF, since they both use the JAXB reference implementation for conversions.

CXF also provides an integrated HTTP server suitable for production use in the form of the Jetty server.

Apache CXF is an open source framework that provides a robust infrastructure for conveniently building and developing Web services.

As with other JAX-WS implementations, CXF requires the service WSDL to be available to the client at run time.

This tutorial, the last of a three-part series, explains how to develop a File uploading web service using Apache CXF.

Like Axis2, but unlike Metro, CXF allows you to choose between different data-binding technologies.

As mentioned in Client-side usage, the build configures CXF logging to avoid printing configuration details when running the sample client.

Before you can try out the sample code, you need to download and install a current version of CXF on your system (see Resources).

That's not going to be covered directly in this series of articles; you can see the CXF documentation for details.

Aegis can also be used in a standalone application outside of CXF environment.

Listing 1 shows an edited version of the same basic WSDL service definition used in " Introducing CXF. "

Like Metro, CXF comes complete with support for WS-Security and other extension technologies as part of the basic download.

For instance, CXF provides several ways to invoke services dynamically at runtime without generating a client from the WSDL.

The web. xml file, shown in Listing 6, has one added line referencing the cxf-extension-addr. xml configuration.

Tools support: CXF provides different tools for conversion between Java beans, Web services, and WSDL.

In Part 1 of this series, you saw how simple it is to develop a Web service using a Spring-based CXF configuration.

A CXF configuration file is actually a Spring configuration file that contains bean definitions.

The CXF server handled this correctly, but the client threw an exception while processing the response.

Similar to these other stacks, CXF uses WS-SecurityPolicy to configure WS-Security handling (though manual configuration is also possible).

On the client side, all you need to do is add the security run-time parameters to the cxf. xml file used on the client.

In almost every case, the problems were corrected in a new CXF release before the article was published.

This Tutorial series will describes the way of developing web service with different Web Service Engine like (Axis2, JAX-WS and CXF).

Although the client code is the same, there's one significant difference in the client behavior with CXF.

By default, CXF prints out an obnoxious amount of logging details to the console.

This tutorial series teaches the basic concepts of web services using different SOAP engines like Apache AXIS2, Apache CXF and JAX-WS.

In this article, you build and develop an order-processing Web service using CXF and Spring.

As mentioned earlier, to use a policy you generally need to provide additional parameters to CXF.

I won't discuss the details of building or configuring CXF interceptors in this article.

Most of the discussion in the earlier articles also applies to using CXF.

CXF also fails with the Listing 6 policy configuration, but without any easy workaround in the current code.

See the CXF documentation "Configuration" page for details, under the "Server configuration files" topic.

In this article, you'll see how CXF performance compares with the most-recent releases of both Axis2 and Metro.

By the magic of cxf-dosgi, when the Run configuration is executed it will be deployed as a cxf Web service.

CXF does a good job at packaging an embeddable web service component that can be added to Spring for instance.

Finally, I'll try some WS-Policy configuration examples for Axis2, Metro, and CXF and tell you how they work in practice.

You can reconfigure CXF easily without mucking with XML.

Next download cxf-dosgi single bundle distribution and the osgi compendium bundle.

Overall, Metro is about 25 percent faster than CXF in the small-response test series, and about twice as fast as Axis2.

CXFSE is a wrapper for the open source Apache CXF Web services framework.

Testing the example code for this article showed one bug in CXF, which is being fixed.

As part of the fix, CXF 2. 1. 7 skips adding WS-Security handling to the response message flow in this particular case.

People who tend to like CXF are building their own systems.

Note: Tomcat's HTTP port is set to 8082 since Eclipse is already using 8080 to deploy cxf Web service.

Support for different transport and bindings: CXF supports different kinds of transports, from XML to Comma Separated Values (CSVs).

CXF has much deeper Spring integration including support for Spring 2. 0 XML syntax.

I'm also working on integrating [Apache] CXF for the JEE5 JAX-WS support, and hope to get to Axis2 integration soon.

The server is represented by ServerFactoryBean class that is part of CXF's simple frontend API.

Using CXF, now you can make this an actual service component using a JAX-WS front end.

This error should be corrected in CXF versions later than 2. 2. 6.

What it means is you will use the CXF simple frontend to publish and consume CourseManager Web service.

My personal view is that in CXF there is a big focus on, as Paul [Brown] calls it, developer ergonomics.

In addition, version 3. 1 upgrades the underlying version of Apache CXF to 2. 3. 0 and adds support for Spring Security v3.

Then you wire it using a Spring-based CXF configuration file. You perform the following steps

Figure 5 shows the relative times (normalized to the CXF results) for the same 100 requests with larger responses

Figure 3 shows the relative times (normalized to the CXF results) for the same 1, 000 requests with small responses
