OpenAPI CXF Generator

About This Tool

The tool produces OpenAPI definitions, CXF bindings, and scaffolding code from a structured input model. It targets API-centric teams building or migrating CXF-based services to OpenAPI contracts, enabling consistent contract-first workflows. Conceptually, the pipeline maps an OpenAPI schema to CXF-friendly interfaces, JAX-RS annotations, and build configurations, producing a ready-to-integrate artifact package. Benefits include reduced boilerplate, standardized API contracts, faster integration with CI/CD, and improved cross-team collaboration. Core features cover schema validation, version-aware code generation, and flexible output modes. Use cases include starting a new CXF service with OpenAPI, converting an existing REST API to an OpenAPI-first approach, and generating client/server components for microservices. The tool differentiates itself by bundling multiple artifact types (schema, bindings, stubs, and build configs) into a single, repeatable process, ensuring compatibility with common Java ecosystems and CXF releases. It supports typical security schemes, modular project layouts, and templates for quick adoption in teams adopting API governance standards. Practical scenarios include generating a Java-based CXF REST service from OpenAPI 3.1, producing a Java client library for a CXF service, and scaffolding server modules ready for Gradle or Maven-based builds.
