+Fediz Plugin for CXF
+--------------------
+
+Pre-requisite is that Fediz is either enabled on the container level or
+by Spring Security. This plugin is an add-on which provides the
+security context (SAML token) of the Web SSO session to the underyling
+Web Services Stack CXF.
+
+The example 'wsclientWebapp' illustrates the use case where a Fediz protected
+web application calls a web services on behalf of the browser user.
+This is often called impersonation which requires propagation
+of the security context.
+
+Note: The Fediz CXF plugin is packaged with your application.
+Thus it's recommended to package it with the application
+using Apache Maven.
+
+The following wiki page provides more information about the CXF plugin.
