I have an Eclipse project that uses the Maven jaxb2 plugin to generate POJOs from an .xsd. Castor then uses those POJOs to pass data into a method in my web service application. So now when the .xsd is updated a quick 'mvn package' is all that's needed to update the POJOs and expose new/updated POJO methods to my code. I would like to transition that to Castor because I still need to manually update the Castor mapping file (castor-mapping.xml) when the .xsd changes. Is there a Castor plugin that will generate POJOs and the mapping file from an .xsd? The documentation for castor-maven-plugin here: http://static.highsource.org/mjiip/maven-jaxb2-plugin/generate-mojo.html#generatePackage hints that it might be possible but I can't get it to work correctly if that's the way to go. Is there a tutorial around anywhere? I've Googled for a few hours myself. Here is the maven2 pom plugin that I'm using, which is throwing errors all over the place probably because I don't know what I'm doing:
<plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>castor-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0</version> <configuration> <schema>src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/orderService.xsd</schema> <resourceDestination>src/main/java</resourceDestination> <dest>src/main/java</dest> <packaging>com.ideeksha.order.webservice</packaging> <generateMappings>true</generateMappings> <warnings>true</warnings> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>generate</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> Here is my jaxb2 plugin in my pom that works. I would hope that moving this out in favor of a Castor plugin (with no changes to any other project files) should be a straightforward thing to do <plugin> <groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jaxb2-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>generate</goal> </goals> <configuration> <schemaDirectory>src/main/webapp/WEB-INF</schemaDirectory> <generatePackage>com.ideeksha.order.webservice</generatePackage> <generateDirectory>src/main/java</generateDirectory> <forceRegenerate>true</forceRegenerate> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin>
