I'm starting to piece some things together from your response and Freeman's.
With Eclipse Helios the Web Tools Platform (WTP) has been enhanced to
include CXF.
I can configure Eclipse to point to the CXF runtime, in my case v2.3.0.
When I create a "Dynamic Web Project" for web services development, Eclipse
automatically makes all the .jar files in the apache-cxf-2.3.0\lib directory
available to my project. The .jar file Freeman indicated that I might be
missing is the cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws-2.3.0.jar which is in
apache-cxf-2.3.0\modules. There are many .jar file in this directory. Is
this the only one I need?

There are many detailed parameters that you can control more directly
with the CXF API than with the JAX-WS API.
However, you might not need or care about them.
On the client side, the class you want is JaxWsProxyFactoryBean.
You can see a simple example in
http://www.benmccann.com/dev-blog/web-services-tutorial-with-apache-cxf/,
However, it seems as if your real problem is classpath. You want to
call the JAX-WS API and get the CXF provider, not the built-in one
that comes with the JRE. That requires the putting enough CXF jars
into your classpath. What is your current classpath?

What will that do for me?
What can I do on the server and client sides with CXF API that I can't do
with native JAX-WS? More importantly, how do I do it?
The Apache CXF web site does not seem to make this clear, nor does the
FuseSource documentation or sample code. Neither shows any examples of how
to use the CXF API, unless I've missed something which is quite possible!
Thanks

Hi,
Seems like your Eclipse env not pick up cxf as jaxws implementation
provider, you need ensure cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws-2.3.0.jar is in your
classpath.

I'm new to CXF and have been working with it for several weeks.
I've been using Eclipse Helios (3.6) with the built in built in WTP
features for CXF. I've downloaded CXF 2.3.0 and configured Eclipse
to use this version of the CXF runtime.
I've created several simple Java First web services and got them
working with clients all using the features described above.
Lately, I've working with the FuseSource Services Framework (for
CXF). Presently I'm just reviewing their Java First samples.
I've looked at the Javadoc for the CXF API but I never see any of
these classes being used. What am I missing?
Both my simple Java First web services and THe FuseSource Java First
samples all use JAX-WS. What am I missing?
Where does CXF come in?
