Axis2 and CXF are two major open source web services frameworks under the Apache Software Foundation. While Axis2 is backed by WSO2, CXF was by IONA (which was later acquired by Progress Software). Switching to CXF from Axis2 or vice versa is not a tough task to do. PMC Chair for Apache CXF compares CXF, Metro, and Axis2 quantitatively in his blog.
CXF User's Guide, Contract first,FAQ, How do I develop a service?, and Working with CXF Tool: Packtpub article are some of the initial reads on CXF. The blog post Apache CXF How-Tos, well not exactly extends the "code first" development with JAX-WS from the CXF Howtos.

Below I share some of the nice reads that I found over the web.

Altova, a WSDL Editor and Documentation Generator, is yet another interesting tool worth trying.
