Hi there I thought that WS-MEX is one of the standards which is implemented by a few stacks only but not widely used because it's not really a standard from Oasis or W3C and it's a perfect candiate for REST. Microsft WCF is heavily based on WS-MEX for policy retrieval and automatic configuration generation.
I just noticed today that there is a Candiate Recommendation published from april this year: http://www.w3.org/TR/ws-metadata-exchange/ I think it would make a lot of sense to have this functionality in CXF also. I'm aware of Metro and WCF which support it. Maybe we could provide a property/attribute in the JAX-WS endpoint bean whether metadata (wsdl, policy) can be retrieved of WS-MEX. Thanks Oli
