Apache CXF Web Service Development is a new book from Packt, which will help developers design and develop SOAP and Restful web services using the open source Apache CXF framework. Written by Naveen Balani and Rajeev Hathi, this book will help to create custom interceptors by implementing advanced features such as CXF Interceptors, CXF Invokers, and CXF Features. It will also provide developers a quick start in developing web services using contract-first and code-first approaches.

Apache CXF is an open source, fully featured, easy to use framework, which provides a flexible deployment model for deploying web services. CXF helps developers 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 develop web services by configuring various CXF transports such as HTTP, HTTP(S), JMS, and CXF.

Apache CXF Web Service Development introduces various Apache CXF framework features and will teach users to build their application according to the requirements by using any of the frontends supported by it. They will learn to develop services in a flexible deployment model offered by CXF, unit test them and finally promote them. Additionally, this book introduces some advanced concepts such as Interceptors and also mentions various tools that will help developers create web services as well as Java and JavaScript-based web services clients.
