XFire 1.2 Released! JiBX, Inheritance, GZip and more
August 29th, 2006XFire 1.2 was finally released yesterday (and the users rejoiced!). I think the most useful feature to users is probably the new inheritance support in the Aegis binding. Basically this allows you to easily write POJO first services with your class hierarchy reflected in the WSDL. Other features include support for the very fast JiBX databinding and GZip support. Download and enjoy!
If you’re looking to find out more about this release, InfoQ has done a nice writeup with a small interview from me as well. At the bottom we talk a little bit about the XFire future. For those who don’t know, XFire 2.0 will be called CeltiXfire (CXF) 2.0. We’re merging with the Celtix project and will be at Apache. More on why this is a good thing and why I’m excited about it in a different post shortly…
