I am pretty new to web services. I am not able to find the difference between JAX-WS and CXF.
According to my understanding, JAX-WS is the specification provided by java and CXF is the implementation.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, you are right.
JAX-WS is Java specification for SOAP based web services. CXF is its implementation by Apache.
JAX-WS reference implementation is JAX-WS RI, by Oracle. Latest one is JAX-WS RI 2.2.5
