Generate classes with jaxb2-maven-plugin from WSDL

I had this question for jaxb2-maven-plugin 2.5.0. Here is my solution:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.0</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <phase>generate-resources</phase>
            <id>xjc</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>xjc</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
    <configuration>
        <sourceType>wsdl</sourceType>
        <sources>
            <source>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/wsdl</source>
        </sources>
        <outputDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/java</outputDirectory>
        <clearOutputDir>false</clearOutputDir>
        <packageName>com.project.generated</packageName>
        <noPackageLevelAnnotations>true</noPackageLevelAnnotations>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

If you are generating wsdl and xsd as well try to put in a different execution configuration: It may not have the same schemaDirectory or the plugin will not run successfully the second execution, cause it caches executions based on this variable. I advice to do it such as

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.6</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>generate-sri-facturas</id>
                    <phase>generate-sources</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>xjc</goal> 
                    </goals> 
                    <configuration> 
                        <outputDirectory>target/generated-sources/sri</outputDirectory>
                        <packageName>${commonsource.packageName}</packageName> 
                        <schemaDirectory>src/main/resources/schema/xsd</schemaDirectory>
                        <schemaFiles>factura_v1.1.0.xsd</schemaFiles>
                    </configuration> 
                </execution> 
                <execution>
                    <id>generate-sri-autorizacion-comprobantes</id>
                    <phase>generate-sources</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>xjc</goal> 
                    </goals> 
                    <configuration> 
                        <outputDirectory>target/generated-sources/sri/autorizacion</outputDirectory>
                        <packageName>${commonsource.packageName}.autorizacion</packageName>
                        <wsdl>true</wsdl>
                        <xmlschema>false</xmlschema>
                        <schemaDirectory>src/main/resources/schema/wsdl</schemaDirectory>
                        <schemaFiles>AutorizacionComprobantes.wsdl</schemaFiles>
                    </configuration> 
                </execution> 
            </executions> 
        </plugin> 

I created a xsd and a wsdl folder to separate configurations.


You can use the follows code in the configuration:

              <configuration>
                    <!-- Package to store the generated file -->
                    <packageName>com.example.demo.wsdl</packageName>
                    <!-- Treat the input as WSDL -->
                    <wsdl>true</wsdl>
                    <!-- Input is not XML schema -->
                    <xmlschema>false</xmlschema>
                    <!-- The WSDL file that you saved earlier -->
                    <schemaFiles>horarios.wsdl</schemaFiles>
                    <!-- The location of the WSDL file -->
                    <schemaDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources</schemaDirectory>
                    <!-- The output directory to store the generated Java files -->
                    <outputDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/java</outputDirectory>
                    <!-- Don't clear output directory on each run -->
                    <clearOutputDir>false</clearOutputDir>
                </configuration>

By examining the Maven debug output of the arguments being passed to the JAXB XJC (and a bit of trial and error) I found that I needed to supply 2 more configuration parameters to the plugin.

This stops the plugin scanning for XSD files and just uses the .wsdl as the source. The XSD files are included in the WSDL as<xsd:include schemaLocation="datatypes.xsd" /> directives, for example, which are resolved locally resulting in all types from the WSDL and XSD being generated as Java classes.

The configuration section that worked for me is:

<configuration>
    <packageName>com.x.y.model</packageName>
    <wsdl>true</wsdl>
    <xmlschema>false</xmlschema>
    <schemaFiles>service.wsdl</schemaFiles>
</configuration>

Without the <xmlschema>false</xmlschema> Maven errors with:

org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:jaxb2-maven-plugin:1.5:xjc (default-cli) on project foo: Could not process schema: /c:/projects/foo/src/main/xsd/service.wsdl
