Create SOAP webservice starting from WSDL using Groovy?

We have a wsdl for which we need to create a server implementation. In previous projects we used wsdl2java from Apache CXF, but now we want to keep it all in Groovy. Is there a way in which we can create a server implementation and keep it all in Groovy? Or are there any other ways we can achieve this?

The ultimate goal would be that we can hook this implementation into a Grails application that will serve as the server for clients.

I think a better fit for you would be Groovy WS Lite. Spring-ws is also an option, it is a powerful library and reasonably well documented, since grails is spring at the end of day, this may integrate very well with grails. Shameless plug: This is web service integration testing tool I created which uses groovy and spring-ws. You can see the code to get a "working example".

Yes. You can either use the plugin or use cxf directly.

If you follow that tutorial, you can always use wsdl2java and just rename the generated files to be .groovy files and update the syntax to be more groovified. They will still work like normal. Also, as you may or may not know, you don't have to copy the jars directly to your lib directory as it says in the tutorial, you can just use normal Grails dependency management.
