Apache CXF is an open source services framework which is a result of the merge between the XFire and Celtix projects. CXF helps us build and develop services using JAX-WS. 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.
In this series we will go through two common approaches to create a web service.
- Code first approach
- Contract First approach
- Creating Web services using Apache CXF (Part 1) : Contract first approach.
- Creating Web services using Apache CXF (Part 2) : Contract first approach.
- Creating Web services using Apache CXF (Part 3) : Contract first approach.
- Creating Web services using Apache CXF (Part 4): Contract first approach.

I was in dire need of this a few days back, but could not find any beginner tuts anywhere, this’ll surely help many of us
Thanks Vaibhav. I had followed Code-first approach here in this example. Will post one Contract-first example soon. Hope that helps us to do it in both ways!
Please where is the rest of the contract first (i.e Part 3: Creating Stubs.Part 4 : Writing the Implementation.Part 5 : Configuration and Deployment Part 6: Testing. )
