Current Roadmap for future versions of CXF. (this is an ongoing "work in progress", subject to change.)
CXF version 2.0.5 - target Mar 15
This should just be a bug fix release for bugs users encounter with 2.0.4. This will be done on a branch by selectively merging fixes from trunk on an as-needed basis. For the most part, there would be fixes for:
- XFire migration issues
- Any interopability issues
- Critical show stoppers
- etc....
CXF version 2.1 - target Mar 30.
The "trunk" should now be targetting 2.1 development. There are several new features that are targetted for this release:
- JAX-WS 2.1 support
- JAXB 2.1
- WS-A in the API's
- JAXB Annotations on SEI interface methods
- WebServiceFeature annotation (map to our Features annotation)
- XmlBeans databinding (runtime definite, tooling is lower priority)
- New java2ws tooling
- Start of better REST support (JSR-311)
- CORBA support via inherited code from Yoko (see discussion on //mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-yoko-dev/200709.mbox/thread)
- ?js support (from the grant from BasisTech)
- OSGi bundling
Possibilities: (resources permitting, these will go into 2.1, but ok to slip to 2.2)
- JiBX databinding (runtime, tooling is lower priority)
- Better Acegi integration
- WS-SecureConversation/Trust
- Other WS-* stuff
