Suggestion for a web service framework for Java

Question

I want a web service framework which is open source & free for commercial use, also security is a main concern too. Please suggest a web service framework for Java using SOA

Answer 1

Here are the common frameworks, all are rather mature:

• Apache CXF
• Apache Axis2
• Spring Web Services
• JAX-WS RI

All support SOAP.

I've used both CXF and Spring-WS. Both are easy to configure and use.
