Answer 1

You can develop web services in different ways; Apache CXF is the successor of XFIRE so perhaps it's the easiest path; there is also a migration guide . You can also using Spring-ws, but it depends if you are already familiar with spring and if you want/can adopt Spring in your project. Spring web services are contract first ie You start from the wsdl (or xsd in you prefer) and write the code that handle the data incoming; you can read more about this here Spring ws is very flexible and lets you handle the whole soap body allowing even to handle some ws client mistakes (in an ws implementation I handled two slightly different version of the ws with the same endpoint).

If you are writing web services, you are already using Spring and you are not afraid to manage the whole soap body you can choose Spring WS; if you want an easy migration path (because part of your team alreay knows xfire) apache cxf is the way to go.
