CXF is needed to generate the SOAP message on "client" side. But that 
could still run on the server. What needs to be on the actual client 
(browser) is the generation of the graphical representation of the 
message. IOW, the user is not presented with a static page, but with 
something that 1) depends on the previously selected service endpoint 2) 
depends on how the user interacts with it (for example, say you have 
arrays of complex types in the schema, the user can add and remove items 
in the array and the page has to show the proper structure). The core of 
the application generates a generic tree view of the request message, 
which is modifiable according to the schema constraints (allowed types, 
optional items, complex structures, collections, etc.); the GUI allows 
the user to fill in data into that tree and modify it before eventually 
pressing the invoke button and hence telling the core to convert the 
tree back into actual arguments to make the ws invocation.
Not sure this fits with your concept of serving just static files, but 
I'll let Rebecca comment here as she's worked on the GUI.

Cheers
Alessio
