Creating Adobe CQ bundles using Apache CXF that consume web services

You can create an Adobe CQ bundle that consumes data from a third-party web service and displays the data in a web page. For example, assume that you use Adobe CQ to create a web site for a government department that tracks weather information. In this situation, you can create a CQ bundle that retrieves data from a third-party web service and displays the data within a form located in a web page.

The following illustration shows data being retrieved from a third-party web service and displayed in a JSP.

You can develop an OSGi bundle that contains Java proxy classes that were created by using Apache CFX. That is, you can use a tool such as Apache CXF WSDL to Java to generate the Java proxy classes that are based on the WSDL of an external web service. For information about Apache CXF, see WSDL to Java.

Note: You can use JAX-WS instead of Apache CXF to generate Java proxy files. For information, see Creating Adobe CQ bundles that consume web services.
