wsdl2java & xsd:dateTime to java.util.Date

[Bruce Edge <br...@gmail.com>]

I've looked at the man pages here:
      http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CXF20DOC/WSDL+to+Java

and they refer to "schema inside the wsd" vs. "schema is out of wsdl".
What exactly does this mean?

I have a wsdl that has both an embedded schema and pulls in data types
from an xsd. What format should I be using in my project-bindings.xml?

Also, what do these vars refer to:

"YOUR_WSDL_LOCATION"                              Is that
this:"${basedir}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/wsdl/DpmCore.wsdl"?

"THE_NAMESPACE_OF_YOUR_SCHEMA"       Is this the main namespace, of
that of the schema that refers to the date elements?

"YOUR_SCHEMA_LOCATION"                          Same as
YOUR_WSDL_LOCATION or different?

This is the text form the above link that I'm trying to decipher:

If you have schema inside the wsdl, here is the binding file you can use:

<jaxws:bindings wsdlLocation="YOUR_WSDL_LOCATION"
          xmlns:jaxws="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxws"
          xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
          xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
          xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/">
  <jaxws:bindings
node="wsdl:definitions/wsdl:types/xs:schema[@targetNamespace='THE_NAMESPACE_OF_YOUR_SCHEMA']">
      <jxb:globalBindings xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
        <jxb:javaType name="java.util.Date" xmlType="xs:dateTime"

parseMethod="org.apache.cxf.tools.common.DataTypeAdapter.parseDateTime"

printMethod="org.apache.cxf.tools.common.DataTypeAdapter.printDateTime"/>
      </jxb:globalBindings>
  </jaxws:bindings>
</jaxws:bindings>

If you want to use java.util.Calendar, just change the
org.apache.cxf.tools.common.DataTypeAdapter to
javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter, and change the name value to
"java.util.Calendar" (also, is there a more complete example of this
?)

If your schema is out of wsdl, here is an example you can try:

<jxb:bindings version="1.0"
              xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
              xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <jxb:bindings schemaLocation="YOUR_SCHEMA_LOCATION" node="/xs:schema">
    <jxb:globalBindings xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
      <jxb:javaType name="java.util.Date" xmlType="xs:dateTime"

parseMethod="org.apache.cxf.tools.common.DataTypeAdapter.parseDateTime"

printMethod="org.apache.cxf.tools.common.DataTypeAdapter.printDateTime"/>
    </jxb:globalBindings>
  </jxb:bindings>
</jxb:bindings>
