XFire is a Java SOAP framework that allows you to take existing plain old java classes (POJOs) and expose them as SOAP services (either through HTTP, or even JMS). It's a very powerful and easy-to-use framework, and I'm especially excited about it's support for JSR 181, which allows you to annotate your Java classes for full control over the WSDL that is produced.
As an introduction to the technology, I created a simple Screencast that demo's how the JSR 181 technology works. Being fairly new to it, there maybe some mistakes in how I describe it, so feel free to comment.
The XFire screencast can be found here. Beware, it does take a few minutes to download (haven't figured out how to stream it yet, or somehow shrink it's size).
