CXF java2ws: how to include external xsd files?

Question

I generate WSDL files for several web services (from the server service definitions) where I have already XML schemas (*.XSD) for the beans used as parameters. How do I tell java2ws to reference these (include the external XSD) and not generate its own into the WSDL?

I have tried the -createxsdimports, but that does generate its own XSD files.

Is there a Java Annotation that I can use to let CXF know where the XSD for each file/package is?

Answer 1

Try the @XmlSchema annotation. It includes a location parameter that is used to tell JAXB that a real schema exists:

@XmlSchema(location="http://www.example.com/xsds/foo.xsd")
package com.example.foo;
