Overview

OpenZipkin Brave is a distributed tracing implementation compatible with Twitter Zipkin backend services, written in Java. For quite a while OpenZipkin Brave offers a dedicated module to integrate with Apache CXF framework, namely brave-cxf3. However, lately the discussion had been initiated to make this integration a part of Apache CXF codebase so the CXF team is going to be responsible for maintaining it. As such, it is going to be available in upcoming 3.2.0 release under cxf-integration-tracing-brave module, with both client side and server side supported. This section gives a complete overview on how distributed tracing could be integrated into JAX-RS / JAX-WS applications built on top of Apache CXF.
