CXF's clients

[Dan King <da...@yahoo.com>]

Hi all,

Does anyone know what the dependencies are for CXF's clients? I'd like to get only those dependencies relevant to CXF's clients.

Also, as an alternative to CXF's built-in clients, has anyone tried Apache's HttpClient? If yes, is it a viable alternative? How difficult was it to setup with a CXF service?

Thanks.

I've used Apache's HTTPClient with very good results.  It is straight
forward to implement and does everything that I need it to do.  I would
say that you should look into it.  Please note, however, that it is
primarily used as a RESTful client with Get, Put, Post, Delete and other
methods.  Therefore, if you are looking for a SOAP client, HTTPClient is
not for you.  But if you are looking to make simple HTTP calls, then it
works great.

Hope this helps.
