At the moment I'm just looking at code gen so it's interesting that
you recommend xmlbeans over jaxb -
do you have any links that compare the two? I'd love to know about
these warts.
You're right about centering on something like wsdl, but
I have to start somewhere!
wsdl2java looks great, just the sort of thing that gives me
confidence in Maven.

Hi Ashley,
FWIW, given that (it sounds like) you are at the beginnings of
hatching a
data model (or rather a "data-transfer-object" model) -- I would
highly
recommend using WSDLs as teh primary artifact over XSDs (since you
say this
is for web services). WSDLs are an IDL -- where XSDs are just a
part of the
picture (the arguments).
JAXB2 can consume WSDLs, although it is not widely advertized. And
(AFAIK)
JAXB2 does not suffer from some of the glaring warts of JAXB1. But
keep in
mind JAXB2 requires JDK 1.5.
I tend to use Axis' WSDL2Java to generate my "XML Beans" It works
against
all of the WSDLs/XSDs we've put to it. We had many issues w/ JAXB1.
If I were looking only at XSD to Java code generators, I would
likely choose
XMLBeans over JAXB.
Cheers,

Thanks Chris, though I'm not doing anything so heavyweight! I'm just
trying to put an end to
the days where I have to roll my own java data model from xml.
There is something going down for jaxb because I came across the
following link:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-71?page=all
so I think that because of licensing issues I'm supposed to create my
own artifact for jaxb
using this pom and my downloaded xjc jar file.
As for wsdl, not using it yet simply because there aren't 37 hours in
a day to look at it, but it's
definitely on my radar ;)

Hi Ashley,
There may be a JAXB plugin that I'm unaware of ??
There is an Axis WSDL2Java plugin at mojo.codehaus.org<http://
mojo.codehaus.org>
<http://
mojo.codehaus.org <http://mojo.codehaus.org>>
.
I have also written a WSDL2Java plugin that actually just offloads
to an Ant
build file to do all of the work. You could easily canibalize my
work for
JAXB. (It's in JIRA) The steps are essentially the same.
BTW: Are you using JAXB2 and WSDLs??
Cheers,

I need to do some work with the java web services libraries,
starting
with some simple jaxb stuff so that I can generate my binding
classes
early on in the lifecycle. Is anything in development I can use,
even
if it means pulling code out of a svn repository?
Thanks
