I have recently completed the web service implementation with JAX-WS using reference implementation apache-cxf. And I found with CXF - integration with Spring is very easy. Moreover, It provides various features like:

  1. Customization of Logging features
  2. Inbound and Outbound interceptor
  3. Application Level security
  4. Easy Exception handling using custom Fault.

For more detail, if you want, please checkout this link: http://predic8.com/axis2-cxf-jax-ws-comparison.htm

And, I read above link, its preety helpful for me.

Thanks !

JAX-WS is only the api / specification - to use it you need an implementation. It can be something like CXF, Axis or the one provided by the application server (JBoss, Weblogic et..).

One advantage of using CXF is that you have more flexibility in terms of deployment. It can be deployed in a web container or you can use an embedded web container and runt it as a stand alone application.

CXF also provides integration with other frameworks like spring.

It also provides tools to work with schema / WSDL etc..
