INLINE

The cxf-tools script is used to generate Web services

. This command has the following syntax:

cxf-tools <toolName> <toolOptions>

where <toolName> is either java2ws or wsdl2java.

The java2ws tool uses the following syntax:

java2ws -databinding <jaxb or aegis> -frontend <jaxws or simple> -wsdl -wrapperbean -client -server -ant -wrapperbean -o <output-file> -d <resource-directory> -s <source-directory> -classdir <compile-classes-directoty> -cp <class-path> -soap12 -t <target-namespace> -beans <pathname of the bean definition file> -servicename <service-name> -portname <port-name> -address <address> -createxsdimports -h -v -verbose -quiet <classname>

The arguments used to manage the code generation process are reviewed in the following table.

-address

-address <address>

Can be used to specify the port address.

-createxsdimports

-createxsdimports

Can be used to output schemas to separate files and load them by imports instead of inlining them into the WSDL.

-v

-v

Can be used to obtain the version number.

-verbose

-verbose

Can be used to display comments during the code generation process.

-quiet

-quiet

Can be used to suppress comments during the code generation process.

<classname>

<classname>

Can be used to specify the name of the SEI class.

The wsdl2java tool uses the following syntax:

wsdl2java -fe <front-end-name>* -db <data-binding-name>* -wv <wsdl-version> -p <[wsdl-namespace = ]package-name>* -sn <service-name> -b <bindling-file-name> -d <output-directory> -compile -classdir <compile-classes-directory> -impl -server -client -all -autoNameResolution -defaultValues<=class-name-for-DefaultValueProvider> -ant -nexclude <schema-namespace [=java=package- name]>* -exsh <<true,false>> -dns <Default value is true> -dex <<true,false>> -validate -keep -wsdllocation <wsdlLocation> -xjc <xjc-arguments> -noAddressBinding -h -v -verbose -quiet <wsdlurl>
