[ajug-members] Web Services Framework of Choice

[Les Hazlewood]

I concur.  You'll probably want to stay away from Axis (both versions).  The
original XFire is good, and although I haven't used Enunciate, it looks
really clean and simple.  But since Spring is definitely my core framework
of choice, and CXF uses Spring under the hood, and CXF is like
next-generation XFire with more features and maybe more development support
behind it, I'd go with CXF if starting a new project.

Regards,

Les
