Eclipse Java - Jaxb2 plugin and WSDL

Hi I have to generate a WSDL. I have this xsd schema
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:tns="http://www.ima.eu/xml/cattolica"
targetNamespace="http://www.ima.eu/xml/cattolica" elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:element name="CreateRequestInput">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="customer" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1"/>
<xs:element name="user" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1"/>
<xs:element name="company" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1"/>
<xs:element name="insuranceNumber" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="number" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="creationDate" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1"/>
<xs:element name="answer" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="answerType" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="description" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1"/>
<xs:element name="idquintuple" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1"/>
<xs:element name="status" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="priority" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="idOTRS" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="CreateRequestOutput">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="CreateRequest" type="tns:CreateRequest"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:complexType name="CreateRequest">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="idCRM" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="status" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
Maven plugin Jaxb2 generate java objects correctly.
I did also soap config java file.
but the wsdl generated doesn't have xs:message part so with for example soap ui i cannot make request:
Why method CreateRequest is not generated in wsdl....
Thx

maybe there is a standard for naming the Responses and Requests?

jaxb, xsd substitution complextype

I have the following xsd
<xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="screen">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"></xs:element>
<xs:element name="controls" type="Controls"></xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="ref" type="xs:string"></xs:attribute>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:complexType name="Controls">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="control" type="Control" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"></xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="Control" abstract="true">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"></xs:element>
<xs:element name="id" type="xs:string"></xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="Button">
<xs:complexContent>
<xs:extension base="Control">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="action" type="xs:string"></xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:extension>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="TextField">
<xs:complexContent>
<xs:extension base="Control">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="value" type="xs:string"></xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:extension>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
How can I generate the following xml document
<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<screen ref="10_20_25_vwopstellen">
<name>VWOpstellen</name>
<controls>
<button>
<name>btnA</name>
<id>btn_10</id>
<action>click</action>
</button>
<textfield>
<name>fldA</name>
<id>fld_20</id>
</textfield>
</controls>
</screen>
Now it is generating the following xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<screen ref="scrVWOpstellen">
<name>VWOpstellen</name>
<controls>
<control xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="Button">
<name>btnA</name>
</control>
<control xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="Button">
<name>btnB</name>
</control>
</controls>
</screen>
And when i read my xml document I want a list of contols containing either buttons or textfields
List --> having Button and TextField
I have no idea, i think I should use substitution group but how. I tried something but the xsd is not generating any java code.
thanks

I'd suggest using an xs:choice, and also defining a target namespace, (http://my.target.namespace in my example), which can make working with JAXB easier in general.
E.g.:
<xs:schema targetNamespace="http://my.target.namespace" xmlns:tns="http://my.target.namespace" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="screen">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"></xs:element>
<xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="button" type="tns:Button" />
<xs:element name="textfield" type="tns:TextField" />
</xs:choice>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="ref" type="xs:string"></xs:attribute>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:complexType name="Control" abstract="true">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"></xs:element>
<xs:element name="id" type="xs:string"></xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="Button">
<xs:complexContent>
<xs:extension base="tns:Control">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="action" type="xs:string"></xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:extension>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="TextField">
<xs:complexContent>
<xs:extension base="tns:Control">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="value" type="xs:string"></xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:extension>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
Another thought, sometimes the type derivation isn't really worth it. For something like this you might also just do:
E.g.:
<xs:schema targetNamespace="http://my.target.namespace" xmlns:tns="http://my.target.namespace" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="screen">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"></xs:element>
<xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="button" type="tns:Button" />
<xs:element name="textfield" type="tns:TextField" />
</xs:choice>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="ref" type="xs:string"></xs:attribute>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:complexType name="Button">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"></xs:element>
<xs:element name="id" type="xs:string"></xs:element>
<xs:element name="action" type="xs:string"></xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="TextField">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"></xs:element>
<xs:element name="id" type="xs:string"></xs:element>
<xs:element name="value" type="xs:string"></xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>

Java XML Schema Validation elementFormDefault="qualified"

I have a XSD:

And an xml:
<Structure url="/Test/url">
<Tag1/>
<Tag2>
<Object>
<tag35/>
</Object>
</Tag2>
<Properties>
<Property name="bla" type="value1"/>
<Property name="bla2" type="value2"/>
</Properties>
</Structure>
I am doing a validation, and I am getting the following error:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'Tag2'. One of '{Tag1, Tag2, Tag3}' is expected.
I checked in previous questions and always the solution is related with elementFormDefault="qualified" but now it is not the case so, could it be possible that there is a bug there? Any clue, will be grateful.

Your XML is valid against your XSD as posted in your question.
The error message in your question would not be returned. It must have been from different XML or XSD documents.
As Michael Kay states in the comments:
elementFormDefault only affects local elements declarations.
elementFormDefault only comes into play when the XSD has a targetNamespace.
For more details about elementFormDefault see this answer.

XSD validation error: Cannot find the declaration of element 'xs:schema'

I saw that this question was asked many times but I didn't find a solution to my problem. So the error is:
Error on line 2 of document file...doc.xsd: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'xs:schema'
The code in the XSD file:

If anyone has any idea about the possible problem please help me!

Assuming that your XML is fixed, then you should change your XSD as follows:
Fix the extra " as mentioned by #Andreas.
Add xs:sequence under xs:complexType in two places.
Change the type of #fat to xs:string.
Change use="choice" to use="optional".
Altogether, this XSD will successfully validate your XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="Collection" >
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Description" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="Recipe" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Title" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="Ingredients">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Ingredient" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
<xs:attribute name="amount" type="xs:integer" use="required"/>
<xs:attribute name="unit" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="Preparation">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Step" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="Comment" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="Nutrients">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="proteins" type="xs:integer" use="required"/>
<xs:attribute name="carbohidrati" type="xs:NMTOKEN" use="required"/>
<xs:attribute name="fat" type="xs:string" use="optional"/>
<xs:attribute name="vitamins" type="xs:NMTOKEN" use="required"/>
<xs:attribute name="calories" type="xs:float" use="required"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
Of course, you will also have to check your Java code. (Hint: make sure you're not validating your XSD as XML when you really want to validating your XML against your XSD.)

Java jaxb xsd how to allow maxOccurence

I want following xml output and have following xsd
<msgBody>
<Contato>
<cd_id>11</cd_id>
<property key="name" value="Adde" />
<property key="Phone" value="34343" />
<property key="Address" value="address" />
</Contato>
<Contato>
<cd_id>12</cd_id>
<property key="name" value="BJ" />
<property key="Phone" value="7899" />
<property key="Address" value="sdfkjsdfsdf" />
</Contato>
</msgBody>
I have following xsd where i don't know how can i allow to have multiple property tags
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="msgBody">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Contato" maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element type="xs:int" name="cd_id"/>
<xs:element type="property_data_type" name="property"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="property_data_type">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element type="xs:string" name="key"/>
<xs:element type="xs:string" name="value"/>
</xs:sequence>

Try this
<xs:element name="msgBody">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" ref="Contato"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="contao">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element type="xs:int" name="cd_id"/>
<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" ref="propertytype"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="propertytype">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element type="xs:string" name="key"/>
<xs:element type="xs:string" name="value"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

Please add maxOccurs.
<xs:element type="property_data_type" name="property" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
Alternatively, you can put any concrete limit like:
<xs:element type="property_data_type" name="property" maxOccurs="10"/>
It means you can only have a maximum of 10 property elements. The <maxOccurs> indicator specifies the maximum number of times an element can occur.
