Does anyone know how to publish a SOAP service in CQ5? Found the following link but this looks more like a hack. Is there any other way to do it?

AEM does not have the libs (including CXF) to expose a web service. You have really 2 choices. Assume you want to expose JCR data as a web service. You can follow that link. It talks about what you need to do.

Or 2 - you can setup a web service on a web server (ie Tomcat) and code a Java bean and use Apache CXF and the JCR API. THe bean will expose a WSDL and use the JCR API to perform CRUD (Create, Replace, Update, and Delete) operations on the JCR Data.

Thanks mate. I rather go with the 2nd option as the 1st seems to be too much of a hack.
