Introduction

The Fews PI service data exchange uses XFire, a java SOAP framework. This framework allows a client application to obtain a proxy instance to the FewsPiService API. With this API the client can retrieve data from an OC or write data to an OC. Before a client application can access the FEWS system there is some configuration work that needs to be done.

(warning)  User's looking to use XFire on a new project, should use CXF instead. CXF is a continuation of the XFire project and is considered XFire 2.0. It has many new features, a ton of bug fixes, and is now JAX-WS compliant! XFire will continue to be maintained through bug fix releases, but most development will occur on CXF now. For more information see the XFire/Celtix merge FAQ and the CXF website.
