WebService CXF Study (Entry 1): Origin of CXF

WebService Introduction
WebService allows a program to transparently invoke an Internet program without having to control specific implementation details. As long as WebService exposes the service interface, the remote client can invoke the service. WebService is a component service based on HTTP protocol, WebService is the trend of distributed application.

Open source implementation of WebService
WebService is more of a standard than a specific technique. Different platforms, different languages mostly provide WebService development implementation. In the Java realm, there are many frameworks for webservice, such as AXIS,XFIRE,CXF. Axis,xfire relatively mature, relatively more data. Here we only to CXF, other people want to learn the Internet to find relevant information to learn.

The origin of CXF framework
The APACHECXF project was incorporated by ObjectWeb Celtix and Codehaus Xfire. ObjectWeb Celtix is an open-source Java ESB product, founded in 2005 by Iona, Xfire is an industry-renowned soap stack. The merged APACHECXF blends the functional essence of the two open source projects, providing the core ESB functional framework needed to implement SOA, including SOA service creation, service routing, and a range of enterprise-level QoS features.
