24.4. Generating WSDL
Using Maven
Once your code is annotated, you can generate a WSDL contract for your service using the
java2ws Maven plug-in's -wsdl option. For a detailed listing of options for the java2ws Maven plug-in see Section E.3, “java2ws”.
Example 24.18, “Generating WSDL from Java” shows how to set up the
java2ws Maven plug-in to generate WSDL.
Example 24.18. Generating WSDL from Java
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-java2ws-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${cxf.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>process-classes</id>
<phase>process-classes</phase>
<configuration>
<className>className</className>
<genWsdl>true</genWsdl>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>java2ws</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>Note
Replace the value of className with the qualified className.
Example
Example 24.19, “Generated WSDL from an SEI” shows the WSDL contract that is generated for the SEI shown in Example 24.7, “Fully Annotated SEI”.
