Using binding files

External binding files can be passed to wsimport mojo in two ways:

• using bindingFiles configuration element - absolute and/or relative paths can be used. Note that relative path have their base directory set to src/jaxws

  <project>

    <dependencies>
        ...
      <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxws-rt</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.10</version>
      </dependency>
      ...
    </dependencies>

      ...

        <plugin>

          <version>2.6</version>
          <executions>
            <execution>
              <goals>
                <goal>wsimport</goal>
              </goals>
              <!-- Following configuration will pass ${project.basedir}/src/remote-xjc/bindings.xjc and ${project.basedir}/src/jaxws/bindings-default.xjc to wsimport. -->
              <configuration>
                <bindingFiles>
                  <bindingFile>${project.basedir}/src/remote-xjc/bindings.xjc</bindingFile>
                  <bindingFile>bindings-default.xjc</bindingFile>
                </bindingFiles>
                <wsdlUrls>
                  <wsdlUrl>http://example.com/mywebservices/MyService?WSDL</wsdlUrl>
                </wsdlUrls>
              </configuration>
            </execution>
          </executions>
        </plugin>
        ...
      </plugins>
      ...
    <build>
    ...
  </project>

• using bindingDirectory configuration element - all XML files from this directory will be passed to wsimport

  <project>
    ...
    <dependencies>
        ...
      <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxws-rt</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.10</version>
      </dependency>
      ...
    </dependencies>
    ...
    <build>
      ...
      <plugins>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
          <artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>2.6</version>
          <executions>
            <execution>
              <goals>
                <goal>wsimport</goal>
              </goals>
              <!-- Following configuration will pass all XML files from ${project.basedir}/src/bindings to wsimport. -->
              <configuration>
                <bindingDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/bindings</bindingDirectory>
                <wsdlUrls>
                  <wsdlUrl>http://example.com/mywebservices/MyService?WSDL</wsdlUrl>
                </wsdlUrls>
              </configuration>
            </execution>
          </executions>
        </plugin>
        ...
      </plugins>
      ...
