Hi Amila,

When I try running the 1.2RC2 WSDL2Java with -d jaxbri I get:

[java] Exception in thread "main" org.apache.axis2.wsdl.codegen.CodeGenerationException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException [java] at org.apache.axis2.wsdl.codegen.CodeGenerationEngine.generate(CodeGenerationEngine.java:255)
    [java]     at org.apache.axis2.wsdl.WSDL2Code.main(WSDL2Code.java:32)
    [java]     at org.apache.axis2.wsdl.WSDL2Java.main(WSDL2Java.java:21)
...
    [java] Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
[java] at org.apache.axis2.jaxbri.CodeGenerationUtility.processSchemas(CodeGenerationUtility.java:105)
    [java]     ... 8 more

This is the same error I got when I tried with RC1, as reported in Jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-2431 The same WSDL (and schema) works fine with ADB and JiBX data bindings.

    JAXB 2.0 should do this, though I was unable to get JAXB to work with
    the Axis2 1.2RC1 WSDL2Java. Has anyone been successful in using JAXB

Can you test with RC2? Are you refering the bug which does not include jaxb- runtime jars and jaxb template to
axis2-jaxb.jar?

    JiBX will also handle this. Unlike JAXB 2.0, with JiBX it's not the
    default behavior. In the JiBX binding you need to set
    flexible="true" on
    any <mapping> or <structure> element where you want to allow unknown
    elements.

    In general it's not a good approach to do this kind of schema
    extension
    (especially for web services, where the schema definition should
    be part
    of the service contract). If you want to allow for extensions, use an
    xs:any element as a wildcard that allows for other elements to be
    added
    in the future. Otherwise you're not actually following the schema,
    which
    defeats the whole purpose of having one in the first place.
