+CXF Web Service Transaction Demo
+================================
+This demo shows how to use the JTA->WSAT->JTA bridge in the two differnet web services by using the apache-cxf, spring-boot and narayana.
+
+Buiding and running the demo
+----------------------------
+
+From the base directory of this sample you should use maven to build it
+```
+mvn clean install
+```
+
+And open the console to launch the first web service FirstServiceAT
+```
+cd ws_first
+mvn spring-boot:run
+```
+open another console to launch the second web service SecondServiceAT
+```
+cd ws_second
+mvn spring-boot:run
+```
+
+Now you need to run the demo
+```
+cd client
+mvn test -Ptest
+```
+
+JTA->WSAT bridge in the client side
+================
+It can wrap the local transaction and create a bridge between the JTA and WSAT transaction. 
+From the client side, we use the *JaxWSTxOutboundBridgeHandler* to create a mapping of the JTA and Subordinate WSAT
+also the *EnabledWSTXHandler* to propagate the WSAT transaction in the SOAP message headers.
+
+WSAT->JTA bridge in the server side
+================
+From the server side, we use the *JaxWSSubordinateHeaderContextProcessor* to import the Subordinate WSAT transaction from the outside
+and the *JaxWSHeaderContextProcessor* to resume the WSAT transaction and the *OptionalJaxWSTxInboundBridgeHandler* to create the bridge
+the WSAT and JTA.
