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:

Sorry for the necro-threading, I encountered this problem and although this is one of the first answer that showed up on google with various key word combination it didn't hold the answer I ended up using.

For imported schemas, the easiest way to specify a JAXB binding on an imported XSD within a WSDL is... to treat it as a completely different schema !

Short example :

MyXSD.xsd

No matter where this xsd is imported (wether it's at the root of the of my wsdl or within a nested import), all I need to write to bind my "ThingThatNeedsToBeBound" in my custom binding is :

customBindings.xml

So, it's just like a regular case, except that you specify the schemaLocation, but then you can consider the imported schema as a whole itself instead of a part of something.

I hope this will help others stumbling upon this problem.

(Note : in the source, the solution seems way more complicated, so my case might have been simpler than what they described, I found my solution using that none the less !)
