One sidenote and also a big thanks to Dan and Glen for their comments!:

Even though I'm just trying to get over this issue by specifying the WSDL on the service and trying to get the call to get that WSDL to deal with the non-matching CN on the certificate, I just want to clarify that the heart of the issue is not really in CXF or its wsdl2java, but that the service I'm dealing with stinks - the WSDL it generates and hosts has a bad endpoint, has the wrong namespace defined for the response (it doesn't match what comes back), and I'm forced to use a hostname (cname) for the server that doesn't match the server certificate. So far, CXF has helped me overcome all of those issues when I test the client locally with a local WSDL. I really wish that there would be some way to keep the client from having to access the WSDL at all (since I've customized the WSDLs for the services I'm integrating with by changing the response namespace to match what comes back, and don't really feel the need or responsibility to host the modified WSDLs on a webserver). But, worst case, I can host the WSDL on a separate webserver if needed. However, any ideas for having to avoid that would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary

Ok, it looks like you can override the WSDL in the constructor of the autogenerated service object, like:

String wsdlUrl = "https://somehost:someport/path/to/the/wsdl/MyService.wsdl";;
      MyService service = new MyService(new URL(wsdlUrl));

However, that let me to a new problem:

This error occurs when the wsdl URL's hostname does not match the Common Name (CN) on the server certificate.

I'm already doing the following which combatted the issue previously when I was using a local WSDL file and wasn't having to use HTTPS to get access to it:

       Client client = ClientProxy.getClient(portType);
       HTTPConduit conduit = (HTTPConduit) client.getConduit();
       HTTPClientPolicy httpClientPolicy = new HTTPClientPolicy();
       TLSClientParameters params = conduit.getTlsClientParameters();
       if (params == null) {
           params = new TLSClientParameters();
           conduit.setTlsClientParameters(params);
       }

       // NOTE! ONLY DO THIS FOR TESTING, NOT PRODUCTION!
       // this is to get around the error:
// The https URL hostname does not match the Common Name (CN) on the server certificate. To disable this check (NOT recommended for production) set the CXF client TLS configuration property "disableCNCheck" to true.
       params.setDisableCNCheck(true);

However, now that I'm accessing the WSDL via HTTPS, it would appear that there should be some mechanism to allow me to tell the client to not crap out (disable the CN check) for the get WSDL over HTTPS check in addition to the actual service usage call.

Unfortunately I'm at a loss for how to do that.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,

Gary

Hello again,

Anyone know why the client code generated by cxf-codegen-plugin v2.1 + JAXB is hardcoding the original WSDL file's path into the client classes, and then looking for that file when the client is used?

Any idea how to keep it from doing that?

For example, in one of the autogenerated client service classes it has a static block that looks like:

...
   static {
       URL url = null;
       try {
url = new URL("file:/path/to/my/project/trunk/src/main/wsdl/MyService.wsdl");
       } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
System.err.println("Can not initialize the default wsdl from file:/path/to/my/project/trunk/src/main/wsdl/MyService.wsdl");
           // e.printStackTrace();
       }
       WSDL_LOCATION = url;
   }
...

And in the pom.xml looks like:

...
           <plugin>
               <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
               <artifactId>cxf-codegen-plugin</artifactId>
