Configure Apache CXF with Eclipse
In this post, I will walk you through how to install and configure Apache CXF with Eclipse assuming that you have already installed Eclipse on your work station. The latest version of Apache CXF available right now is 3.2.4.
What is Apache CXF
Apache CXF™ is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and develop services using frontend programming APIs, like JAX-WS and JAX-RS. These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP, RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS or JBI
Steps
- Download latest version of Apache CXF from http://cxf.apache.org/download.html. Download the binary file
- Unzip the file and move the unzipped folder to a directory that you would like to. (I moved the unzipped folder to “Application” folder )
- Go to Eclipse -> Preferences…
- Select CXF 2.x Preferences under Web Services on the left-hand side
- Select “Add” to add Apache CXF
- Browse to the directory to which you saved the Apache folder. The Eclipse would pick up the Version and Type. Press finish to complete
- Check the CXF runtime that is added in the build path and click “Apply and Close”
Summary
You have successfully installed and configured Apache CXF with Eclipse. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to send.
Happy programming!!!!
