The Apache Incubator CXF team is proud to announce the availability of the 2.1 release!

What's new in CXF 2.1:

  • JAX-WS 2.1 support - the JAX-WS implementation has been updated to the JAX-WS 2.1 specification level. Code generatation is JAX-WS 2.1/JAXB 2.1 compliant.
  • Initial implementation of JAX-RS 0.6 REST based service framework.
  • Javascript client generation and support - SOAP based endpoints can have javascript clients created automatically with ?js URL. There is also command line tooling.
  • CORBA binding merged from Yoko - JAX-WS Clients/Servers can talk IIOP to allow communication with other CORBA processess. Tooling for IDL -> WSDL, WSDL -> IDL, etc... are there to support this.
  • New java2ws tooling to support better "java first" development patterns.
  • xmlbeans runtime support to allow using XmlBeans for the data model.
  • MANY MANY bugfixes, performance enhancements, etc... Too numerous to list individually.

Finally, the major new "non-code" feature:

  • This is our first release after graduating from the incubator as a Top Level Project. Thus, this is a full "non-incubator" release. (smile)
