Fuse Services Framework - based on CXF

Supported distribution of Open Source Apache CXF

Download Fuse ESB

Fuse Services Framework is a flexible open source SOAP and RESTful services platform based on Apache CXF that is productized and supported for use in enterprise SOA infrastructure.

Service-Enable New or Legacy Applications

Fuse Services Framework is lightweight, easy to use and fully supported by the people who wrote the code. Fuse Services Framework easily service-enables existing systems to leverage new and legacy applications in enterprise SOA infrastructure.

Fuse Services Framework is a highly-interoperable, pluggable, small-footprint engine that creates high performance, secure and robust services in minutes using front-end programming APIs like JAX-WS and JAX-RS. It supports multiple transports and bindings and is extensible so developers can add bindings for additional message formats so all systems can work together without an expensive and cumbersome centralized server.

Key Features and Benefits

Feature Benefit
Small footprint – bindings added to microkernel Easily embeddable – use without buying new hardware
No centralized hub – deployed at the endpoint Easy to deploy – no adaptors and no performance bottleneck
High security – encryption, custom and 3rd party authentication/authorization Integrates easily – leverages existing security investments
