cxf-codegen-plugin 4.0.0 ignores bindingFile

Question

I create code from a wsdl based on the cxf-codegen-plugin. I use additional bindings to

• change the package
• use Date instead of XmlGregorianCalender

this works fine with version 3.5.5

When I switch to 4.0.0 this does not work anymore (default package and XmlGregorianCalender is used). I could not find anything related in a migration guide.

Here is my configuration

Answer 1

I've also faced with the same issue at version 4.0.0. It seems like all of the javax.* specs are replaced with jakarta.* specs.

So I've realized that I have to replace the xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" and xmlns:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws" in the bindings file to the jakarta ones:

<jaxb:bindings xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
               xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
               xmlns:jaxb="https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/jaxb"
               xmlns:jaxws="https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/jaxws"
               version="3.0">

....

</jaxb:bindings>

As I see the official apache cxf docs not mention this explicitly. But you can check the XML Schema for the Jakarta XML Web Services WSDL customization descriptor here.
