Part II. Starting from WSDL

Another way to develop services is to start with a WSDL contract. The WSDL contract provides an implementation neutral way of defining the operations a service exposes and the data that is exchanged with the service. Apache CXF provides tools to generate JAX-WS annotated starting point code from a WSDL contract. The code generators create all of the classes necessary to implement any abstract data types defined in the contract.
