Life of Apache CXF JAX-WS from Java 9 & greater

[pavan challa]

Hi,

Given that the "java.xml.bind" & "java.xml.ws" modules have been marked for
removal from Java 9, should we treat it as end of life for XML Webservices.

How Apache CXF is going to support JAX-WS front end in it's future
versions? Do we have an alternative? Is RESTFul the only way going forward?

Apologies if this has been discussed on this forum earlier. I would really
appreciate if any of you can provide an archive link of that thread.

Appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

Thanks & Regards,
-Pavan

Hi Pavan,

That’s true that those modules will be removed since JDK11, but it doesn’t mean the end of life for XML Webservice.

CXF will continue to support it by using external dependencies like

<dependency>
<groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.xml.ws</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxws-api</artifactId>
<dependency>

in CXF 3.3.

As Freeman stated, the “API” classes are being removed from the JDK, but that does not mean they are deprecated or disabled or anything like that. It just means that if we need to use them, we need to add explicit dependencies into our POM’s and pretty much treat them like any other API (like slf4j or jax-rs or pretty much anything). That’s not a big deal.
