I am certainly not an expert in this area but it seems that you are
getting a bit far into the details.
CXF looks after a lot of the plumbing for you and you should be able to
get a simple web service and its clients going without to much worry
about the internal flow.
What are you trying to build?
Is there anything about what you need to do that you expect to be
outside the normal web services pattern?
We were able to build quite a few web services in a simple
Tomcat/Jetspeed portal environment just by following the normal CXF
patterns as described on the site and in the docs.
I did not do the work but my team got things done very quickly with no
big complaints or delays.
It might help if you described your IDE and the frameworks that you want
to use.
For example, we used Eclipse/STS with a Spring, Hibernate, MySQL and Tomcat.
This probably has an impact on the tools, process and packaging that
people will recommend to you.
Good luck.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the reply. But still need to understand this. I am a novice in
Web service and researching on various Web service use cases. The obvious
and basic ones are consuming the service with the code first and contract
first approach. Coming to your reply:
1. I can use the generated client and server code (and they do not use
ObjectFactory or XXResponse classes) and comfortably run my services. Now as
you said the ObjectFactory is checked by JAXB for xsd:any type. What
situation makes use of this scenario?
2. XX and XXResponse are used as wrappers @ runtime. It happens when?
I am sorry for the above questions, it may sound trivial, but need to
understand the flow. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thx
Raj

Hi,
When I use wsdl2java with either client or server option, it generates
ObjectFactory class,
JAXB itself uses that. In cases where there are xsd:any and similar or
places
where a JAXBElement is needed, it checks the ObjectFactory for the right
methods for dealing with the actual elements.
XX and XXResponse classes. Why are these classes
generated and where it could be useful?
When available, they are used at runtime. The parameters (and returns) are
wrappered with these objects and fed into JAXB as one whole unit instead of
for each param.
