More open source server components and frameworks continue to emerge from developer communities. One of the latest, Apache CXF, an open source Web services framework, graduated from incubation recently to become a full Apache Foundation project. The progeny of the previous merger of the ObjectWeb-managed Celtix project and the XFire Project at Codehaus, CXF joins a growing pool of Apache and other open source projects supporting services-oriented architect infrastructure. Many, like CXF, also enjoy commercial support and associated commercial products, such as IONA Technologies’ FUSE.
