Apache CXF 2.1 Released!

昨天Apache CXF 2.1新鲜出炉。比较2.0，有以下更新：

• JAX-WS 2.1 support - the JAX-WS implementation has been updated to the JAX-WS 2.1 specification level. Code generatation is JAX-WS 2.1/JAXB 2.1 compliant.

• Initial implementation of JAX-RS 0.6 REST based service framework.

• Javascript client generation and support - SOAP based endpoints can have javascript clients created automatically with ?js URL. There is also command line tooling.

• CORBA binding merged from Yoko - JAX-WS Clients/Servers can talk IIOP to allow communication with other CORBA processess. Tooling for IDL -> WSDL, WSDL -> IDL, etc... are there to support this.

• New java2ws tooling to support better "java first" development patterns.

• xmlbeans runtime support to allow using XmlBeans for the data model.

• MANY MANY bugfixes, performance enhancements, etc... Too numerous to list individually

2.1版本增强了对REST的支持，结合其对 JavaScript and ECMAScript 4 XML (E4X)的支持和使用xmlBeans操作XML的便利，使用apache CXF构建基于REST风格的RIA是一个不错的选择。
