    <p>Currently I am evaluating number of web service frameworks in Java. I need web service framework that will help me to expose some functionality of existent application running on JBoss, The application is mostly developed using Spring and POJOs (no EJBs).</p> <p>What I need is a framework having following properties:</p> <ol> <li>It should provide tools for automatic generation of boilerplate code and save time by eliminating repetitive tasks, for example tools generating WSDL from Java (java2wsdl), tools generating endpoints etc.</li> <li>Applications should be easily deployed on existent J2EE platform (JBoss), this means that it should contain as less as possible configuration files (like axis2.xml in axis2 framework). <ul> <li>Also it is preferred to be able to deploy web service within <em>.war</em> archive of existent application. (it seems that Axis2 need a separate archive for web service app.) </li> <li>It will be very cool to use a combination of <em>POJOs</em> and <em>Spring</em>.</li> <li>Generally, the framework should have clean structure and design (for example Spring-WS lacks it), good documentation and whatever else characterizes a good piece of software.</li> <li>It is preferred that framework incorporates some standard features like <em>JAX-WS</em> etc. instead of vendor specific methods.</li> </ul></li> </ol> <p>I have briefly examined</p> <ul> <li>Axis2</li> <li>Apache CXF</li> <li>and Sun's Metro</li> <li>Spring WS</li> </ul> <p>But still it is difficult to decide what to use in my case:</p> <ul> <li>Axis2 seems to be so low level, it requires separate application archive and lots of configurations</li> <li>Spring WS seems to be too opaque and "sophisticated for impression purposes (?)"</li> <li>Apache CXF and Metro probably are two frameworks that I prefer to chose from but still </li> </ul> <p>I need your opinion and experience about usage of some of them in a real-world applications. </p>
