Benson Margulies commented on CXF-3038:
---------------------------------------

Robert,

To repeat what Dan said: like every other Apache project, we're volunteers with varying level of 'day-job' support. We do appreciate suggestions on the doc, but we'd appreciate your actually working on it more.

> The CXF Architecture Guide (http://cxf.apache.org/docs/cxf-architecture.html) needs to be updated.
> Some strong suggestions:
> (1) The "Frontends" section has only one sub-section, and it's empty.  The "Frontends" section should discuss JAX-WS, JAX-RS, Simple Frontend and Javascript.  Link to and/or update this page: http://cxf.apache.org/docs/frontends.html.
> (2) It would be nice if the "Data Bindings" section referenced supported data bindings (e.g., JAXB, XMLBeans, Aegis (2.1), Aegis (2.0.x), MTOM Attachments with JAXB, Service Data Objects (SDO) and SXC*.  Note; Link to and/or update this page: http://cxf.apache.org/docs/databindings.html.
> (3) The "Bindings" section should be renamed to "Protocol Bindings".  There are currently two sections, one on SOAP bindings and an empty on on XML bindings.  Consider sub-sections on SOAP 1.1/1.2 bindings, HTTP 1.1 bindings, Pure XML bindings and CORBA bindings.
> (4) Consider adding notes on supported transports to the "Transports" section; SOAP over HTTP, SOAP over JMS, XML over HTTP, XML over JMS, CORBA, Servlet, In-VM, SMTP/POP3 via Camel Transport for CXF, TCP via Camel Transport for CXF and Jabber (Experimental) via Camel Transport for CXF.  Note: Also, link to and/or update this page: http://cxf.apache.org/docs/transports.html.
>  
> (5) The book "Apache CXF Web Service Development" by Naveen Balani and Rajeev Hathi (Packt Publishing) has a nice "CXF Architecture" section; pages 39-49.  This book should be references and/or compared to the document for alignment purposes (since the  section headers are nearly identical).
> Note: Since this is an 'architecture' document, perhaps specific implementation details and related products is outside of scope (e.g., listing specific data binding APIs), but it would still be nice to see.  At a minimum though... the empty, place holder sections of this document should be completed by someone.
