Combine JAXB and JAXWS for an imported XML Schema

Question

How can I specify a JAXB Binding for an imported XSD within a WSDL when using wsimport?

I tried following binding, which causes the error \"XPath evaluation of //xs:

Answer 1

My first try at resolving this was trying to somehow use XPath or multiple jxb:binding elements, but that didn't work. As far as I know the XPath just isn't validated properly against imported schemas unless it would all be rewritten and mashed together with DOM.

So the way I resolved this problem was by using inline customizations in the imported XSD. I didn't test this approach with multiple nested imports, but if you got access and time to modify all the imported XSDs this should work out ok. In my opinion this is only necessary if you need to generate the mapping and can be scrubbed/removed from the XSD once the mapping is done.
