CXF是Apache的开源项目，可以用来进行标准wsdl文件到java代码之间的自由转换，方便用户通过wsdl文件进行web服务的调用。

举一个简单的wsdl的例子，提供getMax的webservice。

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>  
<wsdl:definitions name="getMax" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"  
    xmlns:tns="http://ws.sample.com/calc/"

通过CXF提供的wsdl2java工具将wsdl分别转换为server端和client端代码：

wsdl2java -d src -server -frontend jaxws21 max.wsdl
wsdl2java -d src -client -frontend jaxws21 max.wsdl
