  • CXF 3.1 no longer supports Java 6.   You must use Java 7 or Java 8.
  • The JAX-WS/Simple frontend ServerFactoryBean will automatically call reset at the end of the create() call.   This allows resources to be cleaned up and garbage collected sooner.  However, it also prevents multiple calls to create() from sharing the same ServerInfo/EndpointInfo/etc... objects like they would we 3.0.x.   That sharing has caused many problems in the past due to sharing of properties (like token caches) that are stored on those objects so the new behavior is more "correct", but it is different than previous versions so care must be taken while upgrading.
  • The Karaf features.xml file for CXF 3.1 no longer will install spring or spring-dm when installing the "cxf" feature.  If you require spring/spring-dm, you will need to install those features prior to installing the CXF feature.
  • The STS (Security Token Service) now issues tokens using the RSA-SHA256 signature algorithm by default (previously RSA-SHA1), and the SHA-256 digest algorithm (previously SHA-1).

 

New Features

  • The CXF JAX-WS code generator has a new option "seiSuper" that can be used to specify additional super interfaces for the SEI.  This makes the code nonportable to other JAX-WS containers.   The primary use would be to add AutoCloseable to the interface to allow use of the clients in Java7 try with resource blocks.
