JAXB binding file: XmlAdapters and package name

Question

I have a binding file like this

<jxb:bindings version="2.0" xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <jxb:bindings schemaLocation="example.xsd" node="/xs:schema">
    <jxb:schemaBindings>
        <jxb:package name="example" />
    </jxb:schemaBindings>
    <jxb:globalBindings>
        <jxb:javaType name="java.util.Calendar" xmlType="xs:dateTime"
            parseMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.parseDateTime"
            printMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.printDateTime" />
        <jxb:javaType name="java.util.Calendar" xmlType="xs:date"
            parseMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.parseDate"
            printMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.printDate" />
        <jxb:javaType name="java.util.Calendar" xmlType="xs:time"
            parseMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.parseTime"
            printMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.printTime" />
    </jxb:globalBindings>

  </jxb:bindings>
</jxb:bindings>

The schema class are generated in "example" (correct), but the XmlAdapters in "org.w3._2001.xmlschema" (wrong). How can I fix this?

For Apache CXF users, the cleanest way is to use the -p option offered by wsdl2java.

-p [wsdl-namespace=]PackageName

Specifies zero, or more, package names to use for the generated code. Optionally specifies the WSDL namespace to package name mapping.

In our case

-p http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema=org.acme.foo

If you use the cxf-codegen-plugin, then just add another pair of <extraarg>.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-codegen-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${cxf.version}</version>
        [...]
    <extraarg>-p</extraarg>
    <extraarg>http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema=org.acme.foo</extraarg>
        [...]
</plugin>

No need for a targetNamespace pointing at the reserved XSD namespace and no need for catch-all jaxb package binding.
