Simple front end and JAB customization

Hi,

Is there any way to customize JAXB type mapping when using the simple front
end? I would like to have the java.util.Date for the xsd:dateTime.

Thanks,
Jacob

Jacob,

Yes, It's through JAXB annotation.

First, you can find a wsdl which has the xsd:date type, then use the  
instructions in the doc to generate java artifacts from the wsdl
Then, just copy the Adapter, Annotations from those artifacts

I haven't tried this approach, but should work.

For code first, It's definitely tricky and it would only work for Date's 
held in other structures, not direct parameters/returns on the SEI 
method.   Basically, you need to write a XmlAdapter.   For Dates, it 
would look like:

package foo.date;

import java.util.Date;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.adapters.XmlAdapter;

public class DateAdapter
    extends XmlAdapter<String, Date> {

    public Date unmarshal(String value) {
        return 
(org.apache.cxf.tools.common.DataTypeAdapter.parseDateTime(value));
    }

    public String marshal(Date value) {
        return 
(org.apache.cxf.tools.common.DataTypeAdapter.printDateTime(value));
    }
}

Then, you need to annotate the field in the structure to look like:

@XmlElement(name = "return", type = String.class) 
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(DateAdapter.class)

That will tell the JAXB runtime to use the adapter to convert from the 
Date to a String.

James,

I am using the code first (Simple front end) approach. In this case how
would I do the jaxb customization? Is it via annotations or is there a way
to do this in the cxf.xml file? Between, I looked at the documentation in
detail and they seem to be related to wsdltojava tool.

Thanks in advance,
Jacob

Yes, through jaxb customization
