Handle JAXB @XMLIDRef in .NET

Question

I\'m writing a web service using jax-ws. One of web service\'s methods returns bean, which contains reference to its parent. To prevent cyclic references I\'m using JAXB @XMLID

Answer 1

Out of the box Microsoft's tools won't do the job for you. You'll have to ask Microsoft to change the

wsdl generation tools. E.g.:

• wsdl.exe: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/7h3ystb6(VS.80).aspx
• svcutil.exe: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa347733.aspx

In a recent project I had to work around the short comings of these tools and modified the generated code using a Basic Script fixing what was not generated the way needed (in our case incompatibilities with the Java side wsdl generation)
