             Summary: Maven cxf-java2ws-plugin generates a single wsdl for multiple services/executions
                 Key: CXF-6420
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-6420
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build system
    Affects Versions: 3.1.0
         Environment: in all environments, version
            Reporter: Andreas Panagiotidis


I use the Maven cxf-java2ws-plugin to generate WSDLs from @WebService annotated Java classes. 
For each Service, we have to create an execution in the plugin. 
By default in the latest version of cxf-java2ws-plugin the configuration parameter "attachWsdl" is true. 
That means that the plugin generates a WSDL for *each* execution. Unfortunately, the plugin during the maven install phase copies each generated WSDL to the local repository to the directory:
{code}
maven-local-repository\[groupId]\[version]\[artifactId]-[version].wsdl
{code}

The naming of the file is the reason that maven does not copy to a local all the WSDLs - only the one from the last execution get's deployed, as maven overwrites the previous. 

Equally important, with Maven version 3.3.3 does not allow to release the Maven project. (Maven 3.0.5 had a different process)

The maven deploy plugin during the release uploads to the enterprise repository the first generated WSDL successfully. But then it goes to upload the WSDL from second execution, but that already exists in the Maven Enterprise Repository. Thus, the project cannot upload the WSDLs. 

We may set the attachWsdl option to false, but this is not a solution, as for some the goal is to *deploy* the WSDL files.

I attach a zip with a maven project that demonstrates the issue. 
You see that the plugin overwrites in the local repository the WSDL file, instead of generating once for each execution. 
Deploying a release version to a Maven Enterprise Repository throws an HTML 400 error, as normally a release repository does not allow the redeployment of file.

In the end of the day, the plugin does not allow to copy to a repository each WSDL. This is against to what it promotes and what its goal was. 

A simple change is the solution. Add in the name of each generated WSDL the name of the Service that it represents too. 
{code}
maven-local-repository\[groupId]\[version]\[artifactId]-[version].[service-name].wsdl
{code}
