WSDL2Java question: Wrapped Lists

[da...@abis-reicom.de]

Hello,

I'm developing a web service with the java first approach. My domain
model contains Hibernate annotations.
As I don't want to share them with my webservice client, I thought it
might be a good idea to use wsdl2java to generate a seperate model for
the client which has no Hibernate annotations.

There is just one thing I'm wondering about: Why does wsdl2java
generate wrapper classes for Java lists (e.g.: List<Customer>)?

Is there any annotation I could use to produce a WSDL file that doesn't
use wrappers for lists?

Thanks,

Fabian

You should take a look at this Howto:
http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/defining-contract-first-webservices-with-wsdl-generation-from-java.html

The service gnerated here will have plain lists that make nice use of 
generics.

Greetings

The generated CustomerService looks like this:

@WebService(targetNamespace = "http://customerservice.example.com/", 
name = "CustomerService")
@XmlSeeAlso({ObjectFactory.class})

public interface CustomerService {

/*
 *
 */

    @WebResult(name = "return", targetNamespace = "")
    @RequestWrapper(localName = "getCustomersByName", targetNamespace = 
"http://customerservice.example.com/", className = 
"com.example.customerservice.GetCustomersByName")
    @ResponseWrapper(localName = "getCustomersByNameResponse", 
targetNamespace = "http://customerservice.example.com/", className = 
"com.example.customerservice.GetCustomersByNameResponse")
    @WebMethod
    public java.util.List<com.example.customerservice.Customer> 
getCustomersByName(
        @WebParam(name = "name", targetNamespace = "")
        java.lang.String name
    ) throws NoSuchCustomerException;
}
