In the past I've been using the codegen Maven plugin like this:
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-codegen-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${cxf-plugin.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>generate-soap-client</id>
<configuration>
<wsdlOptions>
<wsdlOption>
<wsdl>${basedir}/src/main/wsdl/my.wsdl</wsdl>
Obviously this required the WDSL file to be present in the module.
Now I was looking into referencing the WSDL from a JAR dependency.
Example 5 in the manual[1] shows that this can be achieved given that
there's a Maven artifact with just the WSDL in it.
In my case, however, the WSDL is stored as a regular resource in a JAR
file that contains other artifacts. So, it's my.jar!/my.wsdl in Java JAR
notation.
Looking at WsdlArtifact.java[2] I saw no option which would allow me to
achieve what I want.
It tried
<wsdlOptions>
<wsdlOption>
<wsdl>${settings.localRepository}/path-to-my.jar!/my.wsdl</wsdl>
</wsdlOption>
</wsdlOptions>
which failed. I've never written a Maven plugin but from looking at
AbstractCodegenMoho.java[3] I'm now convinced that it can't be done.
Is this correct?
Cheers,
Marcel
