JAXB, Custom bindings, Adapter1.class and Joda-time

Question

I have a problem with the way JAXB is generating the bound classes for an XML schema (which, for sake of precision, I cannot modify). I want to map a xsd:date type to a Joda

Answer 1

I was in a WSDL first context: no java at all, just generate a CXF Client from a provided WSDL.

I was stuck with the ugly Adapter1.java for a long time, but I found the solution there.

You will use a custom XMLAdapter like already explained.

The key of this problem was adding the xjc extension to the global binding file:

xjc extension allow the usage of xjc:javaType that accept adapter parameter. No more static method required !

Note this seems to work with jaxb 2.1+ only.
