Writing a webservice for ServiceMix using Apache CXF

This tutorial teaches you how you can do a webservice for ServiceMix using the CXF framework.

Goals of the document

This example shows how to expose a webservice with servicemix-cxf-se/bc, starting from the
pure WSDL and exposing it via servicemix-cxf-bc.

Description of webservice

This webservice is a simple hello-user example. The client will send a user name and the webservice will reply with a greeting.

Apache CXF Framework

The Apache CXF framework is an open source framework which helps you develop webservices using frontend programming APIs like JAX-WS.
These services can communicate over many protocols. For example: SOAP, XML/HTTP, RESTful HTTP. They can communicate over many transports.
For example HTTP, JMS or JBI.

Goals

using Maven to develop JBI service units and service assembly
using xbean.xml files to configure routes and services in ServiceMix
writing WSDL file to define our webservice
writing a java class to implement our webservice

After finishing this tutorial you have a working webservice. Feel free to play around with it and adding improvements.
