Grails CXF Client
August 26, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
Grails CXF Client
Consume SOAP web services from Grails using Apache CXF wsdl2java-generated clients, with cached port references, configuration-driven wiring, and dynamically updatable service endpoints.
The CXF Client plugin lets you use existing (or new) wsdl2java generated content and caches the port reference to speed up your SOAP service endpoint invocations through an easy configuration driven mechanism.
The user guide can be found here: ๐ Documentation
