Java開源Web服務框架 Apache CXF 2.5.0 發布

Apache CXF一個開源的Service框架，它實現了JCP與Web Service中一些重要標準。CXF簡化了構造，集成，面 向服務架構(SOA)業務組件與技術的靈活復用。在CXF中，Service使用WSDL標準定義并能夠使用各種不同的消息 格式(或binding)和網絡協議(transports)包括SOAP、XML（通過HTTP或JMS）進行訪問。CXF同樣支持多種model 如：JAX-WS，JBI，SCA和CORBA service。CXF設計成可靈活部署到各種容器中包括Spring-based，JBI，SCA， Servlet和J2EE容器。
