I'm aware this is off topic, but since there are so many people on the list with a broad skill set am hoping I can learn from their experiences / heartbreak. I am evaluating various WS stacks for interfacing with a system - currently I am using XFire as it requires very little configuration and performs quite efficiently. XFire appears to qualify every xml element with a namespace, bloating the payload considerably, or, if using the patch from http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/XFIRE-687 appears to have unreliable / inconsistent namespace qualifiers. Can anyone recommend a good WS stack they have positive experience of? My constraints are quite liberal - java 1.5 up, currently jetty as an AS, spring 3.0.2.RELEASE. Is CXF any good? I want to find something with good performance obviously, minimal config, and hopefully something that consistently defines package level namespaces at an envelope level and reuses them.
Many thanks, Jim.
