Hi Oliver Thank you so much for your answer!
But how should I handle versioning with RESTful endpoints? Some of the RESTful endpoints are no "real" REST endpoints, they are something selfmade, meaning a POST with an XML Request is made and an XML response is generated, sometimes with XML namespaces, sometimes without. Ugly, but it is a requirement. I think the only way to handle this properly is to use different URLs, or am I wrong? Can I use CXF for this, or would a simple Servlet be the better way? From my point of view it would be nice to have a full stack available for stuff like message handlers / interceptors...

I searched the WIKI and the net, but didn't find an answer. Would it be better to use a different Endpoint URL for each Webservice version, or do I use the same URL, and implement decision logic based on the Namespaces? Which strategy should I use for Java package naming? How do I mix SOAP and Rest? Would OSGi make sense here? Thanks in advance Mirko
