wsimport [options] <wsdl>
The wsimport
tool
generates JAX-WS portable artifacts, such as:
These artifacts can be packaged in a WAR file with the WSDL and
schema documents along with the endpoint implementation to be deployed.
wsimport tool can be launched using the command line script
wsimport.sh (Unix) or wsimport.bat(windows). There is also and ant task to import and compile the wsdl, see the
details below.
The following table lists the wsimport
options.
Table 1-1 wsimport Options
Option |
Description |
---|---|
|
Specify where to place generated output files |
|
Specify external JAX-WS or JAXB binding files (Each |
-catalog |
Specify catalog file to resolve external entity references, it supports TR9401, XCatalog, and OASIS XML Catalog format. Please read the XML Entity and URI Resolvers document or see wsimport_catalog sample. |
|
allow vendor extensions (functionality not specified by the specification). Use of extensions may result in applications that are not portable or may not interoperate with other implementations |
|
Display help |
|
Specify an HTTP proxy server (port defaults to 8080) |
|
Keep generated files |
-p |
Specifying a target package via this command-line option, overrides any wsdl and schema binding customization for package name and the default package name algorithm defined in the specification |
|
Specify where to place generated source files |
|
Output messages about what the compiler is doing |
|
Print version information |
-wsdllocation
<location> |
@WebService.wsdlLocation
and @WebServiceClient.wsdlLocation value |
Multiple JAX-WS and JAXB binding files can be specified using -b
option and they can be used to customize various things like package
names, bean names, etc. More information on JAX-WS and JAXB binding
files can be found in the customization
documentation.
An Ant task for the wsimport
tool is provided along
with the tool. The attributes
and elements supported by the Ant task are listed below:
<wsimport
wsdl="..."
destdir="directory for generated class files"
sourcedestdir="directory for generated source files"
keep="true|false"
extension="true|false"
verbose="true|false"
version="true|false"
wsdlLocation="..."
catalog="catalog file"
package="package name"
<binding dir="..." includes="..." />
</wsimport>

Specify where to place output generated classes |
|
sourcedestdir |
Specify where to place generated source files, keep is turned
on with this option |
|

Output messages about what the compiler is doing |
|
|
Specify external JAX-WS or JAXB binding files |
|
|
allow vendor extentions (funcionality not specified by the
specification). Use of extensions may result in applications that are
not portable or may not interoperate with other implementations |
|
wsdllocation |
The wsdl URI passed thru this
option will be used to set the value of @WebService.wsdlLocation
and @WebServiceClient.wsdlLocation annotation elements
on the generated SEI
and Service interface |
-wsdllocation |
catalog |
Specify catalog file to resolve
external entity references, it supports TR9401, XCatalog, and OASIS XML
Catalog format. Additionally, ant xmlcatalog type can be used to
resolve entities, see wsimport_catalog sample. |
-catalog |
package |
Specifies the target package | -p |
The binding
attributes is like
a path-like
structure and can also be set via nested
<binding>
elements, respectively. Before this
task can be used, a <taskdef>
element needs to be
added to the project as given below:
<taskdef name="wsimport" classname="com.sun.tools.ws.ant.WsImport">
<classpath path="jaxws.classpath"/>
</taskdef>
where jaxws.classpath
is a reference to a path-like structure,
defined elsewhere in the build environment, and contains the list of
classes required by the JAX-WS tools.
<wsimport
destdir
="${build.classes.home}"
debug="true"
wsdl="AddNumbers.wsdl"
binding="custom.xml"/>
The above example generates client-side artifacts for AddNumbers.wsdl
,
stores .class
files in the ${build.classes.home}
directory using the custom.xml
customization file. The
classpath used is xyz.jar
and compiles with debug
information on.
<wsimport
keep="true"
sourcedestdir="${source.dir}"
destdir
="${build.classes.home}"
wsdl="AddNumbers.wsdl">
<binding dir="${basedir}/etc" includes="custom.xml"/>
</wsimport>
The above example generates portable artifacts for AddNumbers.wsdl
,
stores .java
files in the ${source.dir}
directory, stores .class
files in the ${build.classes.home}
directory.
