What is the real status with regards to XmlBeans support in CXF and is it the right time to start porting from XFire/XmlBeans to CXF/XmlBeans ?
I have a large amount of code that uses XFire with XmlBeans and a document/java first approach. I would like to port as XFire is not really supported for some time now and we have had to make a few patches to it to fix some issues. Further, we would like to also expose some services as REST so CXFs support for JaxRs is nice. The reason I ask is that I have protoyped a little test application using a java/document and while things work in the simple case, I cannot get the sending of a soap header to work. I did manage to receive and process the SOAP header on the server side, but only when I switched to JaxWsServerFactoryBean. Obviously JaxWs is the way to go but I was hoping to port with the minimal amount of code changes in the first instance. If it is considered that CXF/XmlBeans is ready (despite the out of date wiki status/roadmap pages) then I perhaps may post some more specifc issues that I have. David
