THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
Currently there are two different ways to build RESTful services with CXF.
- JAX-RS: CXF has an initial implementation of JAX-RS 1.0 (JSR-311): Java API for RESTfulWeb RESTful Web Services. This provides a more standard way to build RESTful services in JAVA.
- JAX-WS Provider and Dispatch: It is possible to create RESTful services with the JAX-WS Provider and Dispatch APIs.
- HTTP Binding: The HTTP binding provides a flexible way of creating resources and mapping them to operations in your service. This can currently be done via annatotations or a convention based mapping.
JAX-WS Provider and Dispatch: It is possible to create simple RESTful services with the JAX-WS Provider and Dispatch APIs. It is not as flexible as the HTTP binding, but does use standard APIs Note : HTTP Binding has been deprecated and is likely to be removed from CXF in one of its future releases.
