Hi Guillaume, Actually the SWS is out of my control (another team has already begun using it). I'll eventually need to stick this into Servicemix as a Provider endpoint one way or another. In terms of the differences between CXF vs. SWS, it is the whole contract-first (SWS) vs. contract-last (CXF, JAX-WS, etc.) approach. There is a link here: http://static.springframework.org/spring-ws/site/why-contract-first.html
I think there is a recent discussion about this on TSS as well. I'm fine with CXF but if developing web services is the bulk of the project, i.e. not just exposing existing Java services as web services, SWS is probably the best way to go. Maybe you have some thoughts on this?
