cxf use

trying to get apache cxf to use in implementing soap services (server&client). so i get weird errors that make no sense. where does it come from ? from not having the right jar files on the classpath. i just hate these “drop some jar files here and with some magic numbers i will guess which one to pick”. give me explicit configuration please.. and after that it is guessing which additional jar files the cxf itself requires from the 100 it comes with. which is guesswork since the error messages give no pointers. oo yeah..

edit: that is, i had to drop the cxf jar file in the classpath for the jdk implementation to pick that as the webservices implementation. i just love how confusing i am even to myself in my ramblings.. or not (to love)
