The jaxws-tools script can be used to generate portable artifacts used in JAX-WS web services. For example, portable artifacts such as Service Endpoint Interface (SEI) class, Service class, JAXB generated value types, etc.

This command has the following syntax:

jaxws-tools toolName [toolOptions] ...

Where toolName can be either:

• #wsgen - generate portable artifacts from Java
• #wsimport - generate portable artifacts from WSDL

The jaxws-tools command can also be started by using the java -jar command:

java -Djava.endorsed.dirs=lib/endorsed -jar bin/jaxws-tools.jar toolName [toolOptions] ...

wsgen

The jaxws-tools uses the wsgen tool provided by Sun to generate the portable artifacts from Java class. The wsgen tools has the following syntax:

jaxws-tools wsgen [options] <SEI>

• -classpath <path>
  Specifies where to find input class files.

• -d <directory>
  Specifies where to place generated output files.

• -keep
  Keep generated files.

• -r <directory>
  Specifies where to place resource files such as WSDLs.

• -s <directory>
  Specifies where to place generated source files.

• -wsdl
  Generate a WSDL file.

• -servicename <name>
  Specifies the Service name to use in the generated WSDL (used in conjunction with the -wsdl option).

• -portname <name>
  Specifies the Port name to use in the generated WSD (used in conjunction with the -wsdl option).

Example:

jaxws-tools wsgen -d output -keep -wsdl -classpath . foo.BarService

wsimport

The jaxws-tools uses the wsimport tool provided by Sun to generate the portable artifacts from WSDL. The wsimport has the following syntax:

jaxws-tools wsimport [options] <WSDL_URI>

• -d <directory>
  Specifies where to place generated output files.

• -keep
  Keep generated files.

• -p <pkg>
  Specifies the target package.

• -s <directory>
  Specifies where to place generated source files.

• -wsdllocation <location>
  Specified @WebService.wsdlLocation and @WebServiceClient.wsdlLocation value.

Example:

jaxws-tools wsimport -d output -keep http://localhost:8080/foo/Bar?wsdl
