Description
java2wsdl uses a Web service endpoint's implementation (SEI) class and associated types classes to generate a WSDL file.
Example
java2wsdl org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter java2wsdl -cp ./tmp org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter
java2wsdl -o hello.wsdl org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter
java2wsdl -o hello.wsdl -t http://cxf.apache.org![]()
org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter
Arguments
The arguments used to manage the WSDL file generation are reviewed in the following table.
| Option |
Interpretation |
| -? |
Displays the online help for this utility. |
| -help |
| -h |
| -o |
Specifies the name of the generated WSDL file. |
| -cp |
Specify the SEI and types class search path of directories and zip/jar files. |
| -soap12 |
Specifies that the generated WSDL is to include a SOAP 1.2 binding. |
| -t |
Specifies the target namespace to use in the generated WSDL file. |
| -servicename |
Specifies the value of the generated service element's name attribute. |
| -v |
Displays the version number for the tool. |
| -verbose |
Displays comments during the code generation process. |
| -quiet |
Suppresses comments during the code generation process. |
| -s |
The directory in which the generated source files are placed, mostly in jaxws mode, it will generate the wrapper beans and fault beans |
| -classdir |
The directory in which the generated sources are compiled into. If not specified, the files are not compiled. |
| -portname |
Specify the port name to use in the generated wsdl. |
| -createxsdimports |
Output schemas to separate files and use imports to load them instead of inlining them into the wsdl. |
| -d |
The directory in which the output files are placed. |
| classname |
Specifies the name of the SEI class. |
You must include the classname argument. All other arguments are optional and may be listed in any order. This tool will search and load the service endpoint class and types classes. Make certain these classes are on the CLASSPATH or in a location identified through the -cp flag.
