Codehaus XFire

Codehaus XFire is a Java SOAP framework for development and consumption of web services.

Unlike earlier similar products, such as Apache Axis 1.x that use in-memory tree models (such as DOM) for XML, XFire uses StAX resulting in better performance.^{[citation needed]}. Apache Axis2 also uses StAX.

XFire provides support for:

• All Web Service Standards - SOAP, WSDL, WS-I Basic Profile, WS-Addressing, WS-Security, etc.
• Bindings POJOs, XMLBeans, JAXB 1.1, JAXB 2.0, and Castor support
• Transports - HTTP, JMS, XMPP, In-JVM, etc.
• Frameworks like Spring, Pico, Plexus, and Loom support.
• Client and server stub generation
• JAX-WS early access support

XFire is no longer in development and has been superseded by Apache CXF.
