From the CXF user guide: ” For new development the preferred path is to design your services in WSDL and then generate the code to implement them.”

Are they insane?

Which would you rather write by hand….

a)

@WebService(

    endpointInterface = "com.southwind.PersonFacade",

    name = "PersonFacade"

)

public interface PersonFacade {

    @WebMethod()

    public Person getPerson(@WebParam(name="ssn") String ssn);

}
