Programmatically use WsImport with JAXB plugins without Maven or ANT?

Question

I am using WsImport to generate some Java sources from a remote WSDL file. Note that this is being from inside a regular Scala project i.e. it is not being done

Answer 1

Can you modify your val xjcArgs to include classpath there. e.g

val xjcArgs = "-cp _path_ofjaxb2-basics.jar:other_plugin_jar_with_path -B-Xequals -B-XhashCode -B-Xvalue-constructor" to make sure classpath is set on WSImport call?

Edit

Based on comment: here is my ant command that does. Basically you need all the supporting jars as well.

In my D:/tmp.wsimport I have following jars:

       233,859 commons-beanutils-1.9.2.jar
       315,805 commons-lang3-3.1.jar
       293,543 commons-lang3-3.1.jar.zip
        60,686 commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
        23,205 istack-commons-runtime-2.21.jar
         7,595 istack-commons-tools-1.1.jar
        25,446 istack-commons-tools-2.21.jar
       866,992 jaxb-impl-2.1.10.jar
     3,147,690 jaxb-xjc-2.1.11.jar
       141,087 jaxb2-basics-1.11.1.jar
       166,736 jaxb2-basics-runtime-1.11.1.jar
       141,604 jaxb2-basics-tools-1.11.1.jar
         5,756 jaxb2-value-constructor-3.0.jar
     1,284,131 jaxws-rt-2.1.4.jar
       510,892 jaxws-tools-2.1.4.jar
        33,739 stax-ex-1.7.7.jar
       130,161 streambuffer-0.9.jar

Just call Ant's default target and you will get proper java files.

Edit 2 to support command line/programmatic call.

.

Option 1:

Call just the WSImport.

"jdk_location\bin\java.exe"    -cp "lib\*" com.sun.tools.ws.WsImport -keep -verbose -B-Xequals -B-XhashCode -B-Xvalue-constructor  http://www.webservicex.com/globalweather.asmx?WSDL

Option 2

Call via custom class.

Java class:

package test;

import com.sun.tools.ws.WsImport;

public class Test
{
    public static void main(String args []) throws Throwable
    {
        WsImport.doMain(args); 
    }
}

Command prompt call

"jdk_location\bin\java.exe" -cp ".;lib\*" test.Test  -keep -verbose -B-Xequals -B-XhashCode -B-Xvalue-constructo
r  -Xnocompile http://www.webservicex.com/globalweather.asmx?WSDL

Option 2c

Again a custom java class/method which you can use in scala to use. Make sure you have the classpath properly set with the jars I listed.

package test;

import com.sun.tools.ws.WsImport;
public class MyWSImport {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {

        String [] input = new String[] {"-keep",
                                "-verbose","-B-Xequals",
                                "-B-XhashCode",
                                "-B-Xvalue-constructor","-Xnocompile",
                                "http://www.webservicex.com/globalweather.asmx?WSDL"};
        WsImport.doMain(input); 

    }

    public void execute() throws Throwable
    {

        String [] input = new String[] {"-keep",
                                "-verbose","-B-Xequals",
                                "-B-XhashCode",
                                "-B-Xvalue-constructor","-Xnocompile",
                                "http://www.webservicex.com/globalweather.asmx?WSDL"};
        WsImport.doMain(input); 
    }
}
