I want to know if Apache CXF supports JAX-RPC based web services. Currently I have worked on JAX-WAS based one.

Thanks.

The direct answer is "no" - CXF implements JAX-WS, not JAX-RPC. But a better question would be to give an example of the kind of SOAP message you need to generate/consume and we can help you find out whether there's a way to achieve that using CXF. Generally anything document/literal should be possible in CXF, but not old-style rpc/encoded. – Ian Roberts
@IanRoberts. I have created a web service in Apache CXF using JAX-WS. I wanted to convert this to JAX-RPC. Thank you – Patan
Read Paulius's answer - your question makes no sense. JAX-WS and JAX-RPC aren't "types of web service", they're different specifications for web service toolkits. Can you give an example of the kind of WSDL you need to handle? – Ian Roberts

Apache CXF in terms of SOAP web services supports document/literal WSDL style. There is no such thing as Apache CXF supports JAX-RPC. JAX-RPC is a different stack for creating web services and CXF is based on JAX-WS. So probably you wanted to know if Apache CXF supports rpc/encoded style web services. The answer is no. It does not support them.
