Pragmatic XML Services: Using Celtix/CXF (XFire)
Much discussion is made around XML services, including a presentation I've done in previous shows. Now, it's time to put rubber to road and see how to implement RESTful SOAP-based services, over a variety of transports, using (in this case) the merged XFire/CXF projects, known collectively as Celtix (or, its semi-commercial big brother, Celtix Enterprise). XML messages over a transport of your choice, baby, and all of it completely compatible with the Big Vendor on the other side of the road. JAXWS may not suck quite as bad as was first reported. Oh, and lest the RESTafarians grow nervous… yeah, we got you covered, too, along with the dynamic language crowd.
Come see how simple–and powerful–XML services can be.
