At the bottom of simple-frontend.html, there is a tip talked about this,
see this JIRA for detail: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-897
I updated it "Others" title to "Well-Known issue" for easily to get
people's attention.
Thanks

Just wanted to ask about an issue I had and a possible problem with
the documentation on the Web site.
In trying to learn CXF, I created a HelloWorld service using Spring ,
following the instructions on this page:
http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/writing-a-service-with-spring.html
I then created a separate client application (not using Spring) using
the instructions on this page:
http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/simple-frontend.html (under heading
ClientProxyFactoryBean)
This did not work, the "text" argument was null when the sayHi method
was called. So I set up a Spring client following the instructions on
the first page mentioned above. That worked. Eventually I figured out
that the Spring example had me creating a new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean
whereas the simple frontend example had me creating a new
ClientProxyFactoryBean. This resulted in slightly different SOAP
calls, specifically in the "arg0" tag:
<arg0 xmlns="http://example.hello/";>World</arg0>
(ClientProxyFactoryBean)
<arg0>World</arg0> (JaxWsProxyFactoryBean)
For some reason, the former causes the method to be called with arg0
as null. Also, with the ClientProxyFactoryBean, the result returned to
the client is null, despite the fact that the soap message contains
the return value "Hello null."
Anyway, at this point it's working for me. But I'm wondering if there
is a simple explaination for this, and if perhaps the simple frontend
documentation should be updated to use JaxWsProxyFactoryBean.
Thanks,
