Which framework is better CXF or Spring-WS? [closed]

Tags:

web-services

cxf

spring-ws

I am in the process of researching/comparing CXF and Spring-WS for web services? I need to function both as a provider and a consumer of WS. In a nutshell, I have been told that Spring-WS is more configurable, but CXF is easier to get up and running. This question is subjective, but will help direct me in my research.

  • What experience do you have with either of these frameworks?
  • Have you run into any pitfalls with either framework?
  • Have you found any useful features provided by either that is possibly not provided by the other?

What is Apache CXF used for?

Apache CXF™ is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and develop services using frontend programming APIs, like JAX-WS and JAX-RS. These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP, RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS or JBI.

What is spring CXF?

The application context loads Spring elements defined in a configuration file. In this case, the name of the servlet is cxf, therefore the context looks for those elements in a file named cxf-servlet. xml by default. Lastly, the CXF servlet is mapped to a relative URL: dispatcher.addMapping("/services");

About Apache CXF:

  • CXF supports several standards including SOAP, the WSI Basic Profile, WSDL, WS-Addressing, WS-Policy, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Security, WS-SecurityPolicy, and WS-SecureConversation.
  • Apache CXF offers both contract-last (starting with Java) and Contract-first (starting with the WSDL) approaches.
  • Apache CXF implements JAX-WS and JAX-RS.

About Spring WS:

  • Spring WS offers "only" contract-first, starting from an XSD Schema.
  • Spring WS supports SOAP, WS-Security, WS-Addressing.

So, at the end, I see Spring WS as a minimal web services framework but consider that it doesn't (in my opinion) have any advantages over Apache CXF (which integrates extremely well with Spring). Between both, I'd pick up Apache CXF.
