Dear Community,

Reading through the JAX-WS tutorial, looking good. One small caveat. There is a section that reads as follows:

"Note: A JAX-WS web service can also be generated in any existing Java EE 5 web project."

So... I have a JavaEE web project that I know works. If I right click on said project --> MyEclipse --> I see only 2 entries here for 'web services' :

1) Add XFire Web Service Capabilities
2) Add REST Web Service Capabilities

The problem being, is that there is no option to add JAX-WS Web Service Capabilities. For instance, when adding a web service to a web service project, the user is presented with a choice of 3:

1) JAX-WS
2) REST (JAX-RS)
3) XFire (dreprecated)

If anyone could clear this up for me, I would be highly appreciative. Seems to me that I should be able to add any of those 3 capabilities to a pre-existing JavaEE web project, but the listing is limited to the latter two options.


Secondly; it is unerstandable that XFire is no longer being supported, as the project is dead. However, I don't undrestand why support has not been fashioned for CXF, as it is the merger of Celtic and XFire projects under Apache, which now makes it completely JAX-WS compliant. I would think that a CXF plugin should replace the now deprecated XFire plugin. Where does the MyEclipse team stand on this issue?

Thanks in advance for any help or clarification on these issues.
