Apache CXF

Apache CXF is an open-source framework for building web services in Java. It provides tools for creating and consuming RESTful and SOAP-based web services.

It supports both SOAP and REST protocols, making it versatile for various application scenarios.

CXF integrates with other frameworks like Spring Boot, JAX-WS, and WSDL to provide a comprehensive solution for web service development.

Service Discovery: Supports dynamic service discovery through ZooKeeper or other registries.

WCF Support: Provides compatibility with Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) for interoperability.

Asynchronous Processing: Enables asynchronous operations for scalable system design.

Step 1: Add Maven dependency org.apache.cxf:cxf-jaxws.

Step 2: Create a service interface and implement it.

Step 3: Configure the service and client using annotations.
