XFire or Axis2 1.0
We have been dipping our toes in some web services in recent months, and are currently using Axis 1 with Java 1.4. Now that Axis 2 is final and some of our apps are creeping towards Java 5, we are re-evaluating web service frameworks.
While Axis 2 sounds like it has a lot of features, it seems to be stuck in an old XML-centric mindset. Hand-coding WSDL is exceedingly painful. Our current approach requires an XSD file, one "umbrella" WSDL doc, and one imported WSDL doc per service. These are stored and versioned in Subversion, then we code-generate the Java classes.
