Write jax-ws web service and generate WSDL without XSD

Question

I wrote a simple JAX-WS web service for tomcat application server on java.

I have one interface and on implementation class:
interface

@We         


        

Answer 1

It is actually not possible to use inlineSchemas with the runtime WSDL generator. I debugged the WSDL generation and found this line in the EndpointFactory, where the inlineSchemas feature (which actually is present in the wsgen tool) is just set to false:

    /**
     * Generates the WSDL and XML Schema for the endpoint if necessary
     * It generates WSDL only for SOAP1.1, and for XSOAP1.2 bindings
     */
    private static SDDocumentImpl generateWSDL(WSBinding binding, AbstractSEIModelImpl seiModel, Collection docs,
                                               Container container, Class implType) {
        // [...]
        WSDLGenInfo wsdlGenInfo = new WSDLGenInfo(); 
        // [...]
        wsdlGenInfo.setInlineSchemas(false);
        // [...]
        seiModel.getDatabinding().generateWSDL(wsdlGenInfo);
        // [...]
    }

There is also an open issue for JAX-WS to change this (but I guess there is not much hope for changes in JAX-WS anymore). https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/metro-jax-ws/issues/49
