Re: wsdl2java not recognizing generics

[James Mao]

Interesting, haven't tried this, can you try it with Metro, see if you
can get what you expected.

I personally don't like generics been heavily used, just make the system
more and more complex.

I'm wondering if we Can we find an alternative way to the generics?

Hi,

I am using CXF 2.0.3 and JAXB. Just wondering if wsdl2java should work with
generics. Eg.

public interface SomeInterface<T> {
    @WebMethod(operationName = "getItems")
    public List<T> getItems();
}

@WebService(name="AWebService")
public interface AWebService extends SomeInterface<Item> {
}

If I run wsdl2java on AWebService it does not generate a schema for Item,

and the getItems operation does not specify a return type.

Eg.
<xsd:complexType name="getItems">
     <xsd:sequence>
           <xsd:element name="return"/>
     </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

Same problem if I go to /getItems?wsdl. If I move the getItems method to the
AWebService interface and remove any generic references it works.

Thanks,
Graham
