I have created web-service using jax-ws and used it. How cxf and jax-ws are related? If we can create and consume web service using jax-ws, Why we need cxf ? Can someone give some pointers for this?

Please refer here and here . CXF is implementation of JAX-WS. Hence what ever your JAX-WS code, you can use in CXF. CXF provides more features like interceptors, spring integration etc. In configuration file you can use cxf or jax-ws features by specifying corresponding namespaces.

I have recently completed the web service implementation with JAX-WS using reference implementation apache-cxf. And I found with CXF - integration with Spring is very easy. Moreover, It provides various features like:

  1. Customization of Logging features
  2. Inbound and Outbound interceptor
  3. Application Level security
  4. Easy Exception handling using custom Fault.

For more detail, if you want, please checkout this link: http://predic8.com/axis2-cxf-jax-ws-comparison.htm

And, I read above link, its preety helpful for me.

Thanks !
