to include the source-code-generation wsimport does for you into your maven build you can use the cxf-codegen-plugin as follows: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId> <artifactId>cxf-codegen-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.5.2</version> <executions> <execution> <id>generate-sources</id> <phase>generate-sources</phase> <configuration> <sourceRoot>src/main/java</sourceRoot> <wsdlOptions> <wsdlOption> <wsdl>http://localhost:8080/SoapService?wsdl</wsdl> <extraargs> <extraarg>-client</extraarg> </extraargs> </wsdlOption> </wsdlOptions> </configuration> <goals> <goal>wsdl2java</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> This adds the generated resources to your maven source folder.

to use apache CXF to consume webservices in a maven project you have to inlcude the following dependencies – of course you can change the logging part if you don’t use log4j like me. <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId> <artifactId>cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws</artifactId> <version>2.5.2</version> <scope>compile</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId> <artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http</artifactId> <version>2.5.2</version> <scope>compile</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId> <version>1.6.4</version> <scope>compile</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>

To consume a JAX-WS webservice you first have to generate portable artifacts to handle the service. Therefor first get the wsdl-file of the service to consume. You should be able to get this by simply adding ?wsdl to the serivce url. Save the wsdl locally and open a terminal. Then you generate the JAX-WS portable

getting JMS running wasn’t as easy as I thought, but after some research I found out how to get as7 with included hornetq up and running. First copy the messaging part from standalone-preview.xml to standalone.xml. Then look for ejb3 configuration and set lite=”false” instead of true (default) as in light mode MDBs are not supported

You can read GET parameters with the RequestParameterMap as follows: final String id = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance() .getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get(“id”);

if you use JAAS to login to your application, you are able to get the active user(name) the following way: final Principal principal = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance() .getExternalContext().getUserPrincipal(); if (null == principal) { return null; } return principal.getName();
