After a short hiatus, XFire is back in action with a 1.0-M3 release. You can find downloads here and the user's guide here.

New in this release:

  • Much cleaner API via ServiceBuilder interface
  • Attachment Support (Incoming only currently)
  • Better processing pipelines
  • Many bug fixes
  • Improved Documentation

Also in CVS is support for Jabber/XMPP, support for the Loom and Phoenix containers, and some support for the Spring Framework.

XFire is a next-generation Java SOAP framework. At its core is a light message processing model used to interact with SOAP messages via STAX. Built on top is an intuitive API to create services and a sophisticated Java/XML type system which requires no DOM representation.
