I'm trying to revive a legacy project for my client. The project is pretty old and it uses the jaxb2-maven-plugin to generate some java classes from an xsd schema file.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>xjc</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<sources>
<source>src/main/resources/custom-api.xsd</source>
</sources>
<packageName>com.client</packageName>
<catalog>src/main/resources/catalog.cat</catalog>
</configuration>
</plugin>
The problem is the company doesn't allow any internet access - hence when I generate the code I get errors such as java.net.UnknownHostException saying that it cannot find www.springframework.org.
So I understand that the solution for this problem is to provide the xsd files locally - which I did, extracting them in a folder named import and I created also a catalog.cat file to rewrite the access to those xsd files to the import folder.
The catalog.cat file looks like this:
REWRITE_SYSTEM "http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd" "import/spring-beans-3.1.xsd"
REWRITE_SYSTEM "http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core/3.4/mule.xsd" "import/mule.xsd"
REWRITE_SYSTEM "http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/schemadoc/3.4/mule-schemadoc.xsd" "import/mule-schemadoc.xsd"
REWRITE_SYSTEM "http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/jms/current/mule-jms.xsd" "import/mule-jms.xsd"
REWRITE_SYSTEM "http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.1.xsd" "import/spring-context-3.1.xsd"
REWRITE_SYSTEM "http://www.springframework.org/schema/tool/spring-tool-3.1.xsd" "import/spring-tool-3.1.xsd"
Unfortunately I get some conflicts in spring-beans.xsd:
com.sun.istack.SAXParseException2publicId: http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans; systemId: http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd; lineNumber: 566; columnNumber: 30; Property "Ref" is already defined. Use <jaxb:property> to resolve this conflict.
at com.sun.tools.xjc.ErrorReceiver.error(ErrorReceiver.java:56)
I suspect that this happens because the xsd is loaded multiple times - probably being referenced by other xsd files. The usual way to get rid of such conflicts is to use a binding file, but I don't think this is the right thing to do considering that this is a third party xsd file.
An example of a sample project has been provided here: https://github.com/scutaru/sample-xjc
Anybody knows how I can get rid of these conflicts ?
The EU VIES VAT validation from WSDL is not working when running via java code. But the same is working from some soap API testing tools.
Eg, https://wsdlbrowser.com/soapclient?wsdl_url=https%3A%2F%2Fec.europa.eu%2Ftaxation_customs%2Fvies%2FcheckVatService.wsdl and https://app.boomerangapi.com/?ext
Even its not working when I trid to get source code from wsimport. (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_151\bin>wsimport -keep -verbose http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl)
Error is “The element type "BR" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".” The same error is coming when trying to access SOAP service via java code.
Any suggestions on how to use this EU wsdl for validating VAT nos?
Solved this using 'JAX-WS' Maven plugin to parse a WSDL file to generate java classes.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.12</version>
<execution>
<id>wsimportb-from-jdk</id>
<goals>
<goal>wsimport</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<wsdlUrls>
<wsdlUrl>
https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl
</wsdlUrl>
</wsdlUrls>
<keep>true</keep>
<packageName>com.vies</packageName>
<sourceDestDir>target/generatedclasses</sourceDestDir>
</configuration>
</execution>
Then export your com.vies custom package under maven <Export-Package>
Change protocol http:// to https:// in the WSDL URL
I need to consume a webservice with webservice-security. This webservice was created using cxf (not by me).
I tried so far:
wsimport with locally downloaded wsdl (http://theopentutorials.com/examples/java-ee/jax-ws/create-and-consume-web-service-using-jax-ws/). This failed with a couple of errors. I tried it without -extension saying "no usable port, try using -extension". I tried it with -extension saying "no standard SOAP". So I thought this may be because they used CXF.
web service client using cxf in eclipse (http://help.eclipse.org/luna/topic/org.eclipse.jst.ws.cxf.doc.user/tasks/create_client.html). When I select in step 3d "Apache CXF 2" the OK-button gets grayed out. Could be an unresolved error (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=351799) if I understand it right.
wsdl2java (https://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/tools/eclipse/wsdl2java-plugin.html#Installation). I followed the instructions getting an exception when clicking finish "An error occurred while completing process - java.lang.InterruptedException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException".
edit: I ran wsdl2java now in command prompt getting the following error:
wsdl2java -d C:\xkfz -client -verbose C:\xkfz.wsdl
Loading FrontEnd jaxws ...
Loading DataBinding jaxb ...
wsdl2java -d C:\xkfz -client -verbose C:\xkfz.wsdl

INFORMATION: Operation {http://www.xoev.de/schemata/xkfz/1_1}verarbeiteXKfz cannot be unwrapped, input message must reference global element declaration with same localname as operation
Is there any way to generate my desired classes? This shouldn't be that complicated :-/
I use Win7/64 with latest Eclipse EE and JDK.
CXF includes a Maven plugin which can generate java artifacts from WSDL.
It's enough add it with some specified config values like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-codegen-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${cxf.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>generate-sources</id>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<configuration>
<sourceRoot>${project.build.directory}/generated/cxf</sourceRoot>
<wsdlOptions>
<wsdlOption>
<wsdl>${basedir}/src/main/resources/myService.wsdl</wsdl>
</wsdlOption>
</wsdlOptions>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>wsdl2java</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Refer to this address for more info.
Hope this helps.
Try using an eclipse plugin for generating your classes
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wsdl2javawizard/
I found out that I can ignore the error from wsdl2java, because it generated a class anyways. I only expected another Class-name according to the examples I got from the ws-creator.
I have a maven project where java stubs are generated from wsdl files using axistools-maven-plugin.
Within pom we have following:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>axistools-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${axistools-maven-plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<mappings>
<mapping>
<namespace>xyz</namespace>
<targetPackage>x.y.z</targetPackage>
</mapping>
<mapping>
<namespace>http://time.joda.org</namespace>
<targetPackage>com.org.joda.time</targetPackage>
</mapping>
<mapping>
<namespace>abc</namespace>
<targetPackage>a.b.c</targetPackage>
</mapping>
</mappings>
<testCases>false</testCases>
<serverSide>false</serverSide>
<subPackageByFileName>true</subPackageByFileName>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>wsdl2java</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Now in above setting we just have namespaces mapped to package. I am just not able to get how this setting is able to track where does wsdl reside in order generate stubs?
Maven documentation is not very clear on this. Any ideas on this?
EDIT:
I did some testing on this:
I removed all the mappings of namespaces and packages but still wsdl gets picked up.
Even if i change the wsdl name, it still gets picked up.
This is very surprising to me, it seems axis plugin knows about wsdl location. but how i dont knw.
So finally i solved the mystery.
I ran maven build in debug mode : mvn -X clean insatll
I noticed that maven-axistools-plugin checks the default directory as ${basedir}/src/main/wsdl to search for wsdl and hence it was always able to locate my wsdls.
Our project uses XJC to generate Java classes from an XSD. I'm using JAVA EE 6.
When all the XSDs we have are re-generated, the generated classes include this comment at the top of the file:
// Generated on: 2011.02.23 at 02:17:06 PM GMT
Is it possible to suppress this comment? The reason is that we use SVN for version control, and every time we regenerate our classes, every single file shows as being changed in SVN, even though the only thing that differs is this comment. So I'd like to remove the comment altogether if possible.
There is a -no-header directive, but I don't want to remove the entire header, so that future generations know that it's a file generated from a tool, and that modifications will be overwritten. I only want to remove the timestamp. (Or alternatively, I'd remove the inbuilt header and then insert my own header somehow.)
I am using this Maven plugin which replaces the // Generated on: 2011.02.23 at 02:17:06 PM GMT line:
<plugin>
<groupId>com.google.code.maven-replacer-plugin</groupId>

I'm late to the party, but since version 2.0 of the jaxb2-maven-plugin, there's a noGeneratedHeaderComments configuration option. (see the JAXB-2 Maven Plugin Docs)
You can use it like this:
...
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>xjc</id>
<goals>
<goal>xjc</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<target>2.1</target>
<sources>
<source>FirstXSD.xsd</source>
<source>SecondXSD.xsd</source>
</sources>
<xjbSources>
<xjbSource>OptionalBindings.xjb</xjbSource>
</xjbSources>
<noGeneratedHeaderComments>true</noGeneratedHeaderComments>
</configuration>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb-xjc</artifactId>
<version>${jaxb.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
</plugins>
...
So no need for another plugin or script to run.
If you want to keep a disclaimer, you can use one of the techniques already mentioned to inject it where wanted.
If you use ant, the following snippet may be useful for replacing the comments:
<replaceregexp
match="^// Generated on:.*$"
replace="// Generated on: [date removed]"
byline="true">
<fileset dir="src">
<include name="**/*.java"/>
</fileset>
</replaceregexp>
I know this is 2 years after the fact, but because the classes are generated they aren't necessarily needed in SVN. What needs to be in SVN is the schema or whatever file you use for source to generate the classes. As long as you have the source and the tools to generate the classes, the classes in SVN are redundant and as you saw, problematic in SVN or any SCCS. So put the schema file in SVN and avoid the issue altogether.
If it's not possible using an option you can post-process the generated files yourself.
For a very specific use-case we had to do it that way on our project...
We use Maven and we execute a specific script after the Java classes have been generated and before we compile and package them to a distriuable JAR.
To build on cata's answer (upvoted) the maven-replacer-plugin is the way to go. I've come up with the following that strips out the entire comment (not just the timestamp) which you can replace with your file comment (license etc.).
<plugin>
<groupId>com.google.code.maven-replacer-plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-replacer-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>prepare-package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>replace</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<!-- assumes your xjc is putting source code here -->
<includes>
<include>src/main/java/**/*.java</include>
</includes>
<regex>true</regex>
<regexFlags>
<regexFlag>MULTILINE</regexFlag>
</regexFlags>
<replacements>
<replacement>
<token>(^//.*\u000a|^\u000a)*^package</token>
<value>// your new comment
package</value>
</replacement>
</replacements>
</configuration>
</plugin>
The one gotcha to watch out for is that the <value> element treats the text literally. So if you want a line break in your replacement text you need to put a line break in your pom.xml file (as I've demonstrated above).
What you should you :
Generate your classes in target :
${project.build.directory}/generated-sources
If you add target to ignore list (svn), that's all.
I also want to have text header with warning about classes was auto-generated and should not be modified manually, but because I place such files into git I do not want there always changed date of generation.
That header generated in com.sun.tools.xjc.Options#getPrologComment method. So essentially it call:
return Messages.format(
Messages.FILE_PROLOG_COMMENT,
dateFormat.format(new Date()));
Messages.FILE_PROLOG_COMMENT defined as Driver.FilePrologComment. With futher debugging I found it use standard Java localization bundles.
So, to change header format we just may provide our properties override for their values from MessageBundle.properties.
We can do it in two way:
Just copy that file (from repo by link, or just from jar of appropriate version what you are using) into src/main/resources/com/sun/tools/xjc/MessageBundle.properties in your project and change key Driver.FilePrologComment as you wish.
But first case have some drawbacks - first you copy-paste many code which you do not change, second you should update it when you update XJC dependency. So better I recommend place it as src/main/resources/com/sun/tools/xjc/MessageBundle_en.properties (note _en suffix in filename) file and place there only properties you really want to change. Something like:
# We want header, but do NOT willing there `Generated on: {0}` part because want commit them into git!
Driver.FilePrologComment = \
This file was generated by the JavaTM Architecture for XML Binding(JAXB) Reference Implementation, v2.4.0-b180830.0438 \n\
See https://javaee.github.io/jaxb-v2/ \n\
Any modifications to this file will be lost upon recompilation of the source schema. \n
Ensure that file in compiler classpath, especially if you call it from some plugins.
That is common mechanism for translation. See related answer: JAXB english comments in generated file
If you are using maven-jaxb2-plugin there is an tag noFileHeader set it to true. It will prevent jaxb to generate the header that includes that date line on it.
<noFileHeader>true</noFileHeader>
