Greetings! I am evaluating CXF as a replacement for Axis and have run into a bit of a problem. My requirement is to ensure that the wsdl generated by CXF matches the wsdl produced by our old services. The main problem I am facing is with customising the return types/parameters of a method with regards to dates. We are using the JodaTime library internally but want to send a "dateTime" element over the wire. Typical methods exposed on an SEI might look something like these: Public LocalDate getDayCheeseExpires() {...} Public void getCheeseByDate(LocalDate date) ()... The WSDL representation of LocalDate on the wire needs to be a xsd:dateTime. From reading the literature available and searching the mailing lists it appears that I cannot simply register an XmlAdapter for LocalDate (I have tried and it doesn't appear to work). I have also tried wrapping the return type in a DateTO which is annotated with: @XmlType(name="dateTime", namespace = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema") @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(DateTOAdapter.class) I was under the impression that JAXB would invoke my adapter when it encountered a DateTO. The methods in DateTOAdapter don't appear to be invoked when I invoke the web service. In fact JAXB complains on context initialisation that: "Caused by: com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.IllegalAnnotationsException: 1 counts of IllegalAnnotationExceptions org.joda.time.DateTimeFieldType does not have a no-arg default constructor. this problem is related to the following location: at org.joda.time.DateTimeFieldType at org.joda.time.DateTimeFieldType[]" My DateTO looks like: @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(DateTOAdapter.class) @XmlType(name="dateTime", namespace = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema") public class DateTO { private LocalDate date; public DateTO() { date = null; } public DateTO(LocalDate o) { this.date = o; } public LocalDate getDate() { return date; } } I am a complete n00b to both CXF and JAXB having been playing with Xfire + Aegis bindings until now. Is it possible to do what I want with CXF/JAXB and the JAXB front end?
