[Building Sakai] life after axis report

[John Bush]

Sam and I spent the day bringing our axis services forward into CXF see:

https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/webservices/branches/SAK-25678/cxf

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-25678

Since it was so straightforward we went ahead and exposed everything
as Rest along the way.  We need to do some more testing but we believe
it should be as easy as pointing your client code to a new wsdl and
maybe changing a few method names here and there (pretty isolated).
The goal was to minimize the effect moving away from axis1 has on
legacy client code.

JWS was fun but had a lot of limitations, hard to debug, no compile
time checking, and it simply breaks a lot, in my experience anyway.
We simply lifted and shifted the code and wired in some annotations,
not too bad at all.
