'''Apache CXF''' is an [open source software](/source/open_source_software) project developing a [Web services](/source/Web_services) framework. It originated as the combination of '''Celtix''' developed by [IONA Technologies](/source/IONA_Technologies) and '''XFire''' developed by a team hosted at the now defunct host CodeHaus in 2006. These two projects were combined at the [Apache Software Foundation](/source/Apache_Software_Foundation). The name "CXF" was derived by combining "''Celtix''" and "''XFire''".<ref>{{Cite web |title= Celtix: The Open Source Java Enterprise Service Bus |work= ObjectWeb |date= May 1, 2008 |access-date= August 2, 2021 |url= http://celtix.ow2.org/ |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090409040425/http://celtix.ow2.org/ |archive-date= April 9, 2009 }}</ref>
