[ANNOUNCE] Apache CXF 2.3.0 released!
The Apache CXF team is proud to announce the availability of the 2.3.0
release.
Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and
develop services using frontend programming APIs like JAX-WS and JAX-RS.
These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP,
RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as
HTTP, JMS or JBI.
CXF includes a broad feature set, but it is primarily focused on the following
areas:
* Web Services Standards Support: CXF supports a variety of web service
standards including SOAP, the WSI Basic Profile, WSDL, WS-Addressing,
WS-Policy, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Security, WS-SecurityPolicy,
WS-Trust, and WS-SecureConversation.
* REST based service creation based on JAX-RS 1.1 standard API's.
* Frontends: CXF supports a variety of "frontend" programming models. CXF
provides a JAX-WS 2.2 Compliant frontend. It also includes a "simple
frontend" which allows creation of clients and endpoints without annotations.
CXF supports both contract first development with WSDL and code first
development starting from Java.
* Ease of use: CXF is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. There are
simple APIs to quickly build code-first services, Maven plug-ins to make
tooling integration easy, JAX-WS API support, Spring XML support to make
configuration a snap, and much more.
What's new in CXF 2.3.0:
* JAX-WS 2.2 Compliant (passes TCK)
* JAX-RS 1.1 Compliant (passes TCK)
* New annotations for Java first use cases to reduce the need for external
configuration and provide more control over the runtime and generated WSDL
* @WSDLDocumentation annotation to add documentation nodes to generated wsdl
* @SchemaValidation annotation to turn on schema validation
* @DataBinding to set the databinding used (if other than JAXB)
* @GZIP to turn on GZIP compression
* @FastInfoset to turn on FastInfoset support
* @Logging to turn on and control various Logging functionality
* @EndpointProperty to configure endpoint properties
* @Policy to associate WS-Policy documents with the service
* SOAP/JMS spec implementation. While CXF has supported SOAP over JMS
since 2.0, there wasn’t a standard specification to describe how it
should be done so different vendors did things differently and
interoperability was impossible. The new SOAP/JMS specification
support implements the new SOAP/JMS spec to achieve a higher
degree of interoperability.
* SDO databinding
* Schema Validation support for Aegis Databinding if Woodstox 4 is used
for the Stax parser
* Many other small tweaks and enhancements, too many to enumerate.
See the 2.3 Migration guide at:
http://cxf.apache.org/docs/23-migration-guide.html
for more details about the release.

I don't think at this point it can work. The @SchemaValidation annotations
really just turns on the validation. There still needs some way of
configuring in the schemas that it is validating against. For JAX-WS, that's
easy. You have the wsdl with the schemas. Thus, it picks up the schema for
that.
For JAX-RS you would still need to configure the list of schemas into the
provider. Right now, as soon as you do that, schema validation is turned on
anyway. No need for the @SchemaValidation annotation.
For this to work for jaxrs, we'd probably need either an additional annotation
to configure in the schemas or an addition attribute onto the existing
@SchemaValidation annotation.

Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Apache CXF 2.3.0 released!
The Apache CXF team is proud to announce the availability of the 2.3.0 release.
Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and develop services using frontend programming APIs like JAX-WS and JAX-RS.
These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP, RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS or JBI.
CXF includes a broad feature set, but it is primarily focused on the following
areas:
* Web Services Standards Support: CXF supports a variety of web service standards including SOAP, the WSI Basic Profile, WSDL, WS-Addressing, WS-Policy, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Security, WS-SecurityPolicy, WS-Trust, and WS-SecureConversation.
* REST based service creation based on JAX-RS 1.1 standard API's.
* Frontends: CXF supports a variety of "frontend" programming models. CXF provides a JAX-WS 2.2 Compliant frontend. It also includes a "simple frontend" which allows creation of clients and endpoints without annotations.
CXF supports both contract first development with WSDL and code first development starting from Java.
* Ease of use: CXF is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. There are simple APIs to quickly build code-first services, Maven plug-ins to make tooling integration easy, JAX-WS API support, Spring XML support to make configuration a snap, and much more.
What's new in CXF 2.3.0:
* JAX-WS 2.2 Compliant (passes TCK)
* JAX-RS 1.1 Compliant (passes TCK)
* New annotations for Java first use cases to reduce the need for external
configuration and provide more control over the runtime and generated WSDL
* @WSDLDocumentation annotation to add documentation nodes to generated wsdl
* @SchemaValidation annotation to turn on schema validation
* @DataBinding to set the databinding used (if other than JAXB)
* @GZIP to turn on GZIP compression
* @FastInfoset to turn on FastInfoset support
* @Logging to turn on and control various Logging functionality
* @EndpointProperty to configure endpoint properties
* @Policy to associate WS-Policy documents with the service
* SOAP/JMS spec implementation. While CXF has supported SOAP over JMS
since 2.0, there wasn’t a standard specification to describe how it
should be done so different vendors did things differently and
interoperability was impossible. The new SOAP/JMS specification
support implements the new SOAP/JMS spec to achieve a higher
degree of interoperability.
* SDO databinding
* Schema Validation support for Aegis Databinding if Woodstox 4 is used
for the Stax parser
