wsdl2java overwrites objectFactory methods if multiple service classes are in 
the same package, causes value type inheritance problems

                 Key: CXF-1340
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-1340
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Tooling
    Affects Versions: 2.0.3, 2.1
         Environment: Windows XP, eclipse
            Reporter: Incognito


If you have two wsdl-based services, who's wsdl2java output is in the same 
package, the outputted objectFactory retains only the most recent service's 
methods. 

For example:
Given two wsdl files, CarService.wsdl and UserService.wsdl; if one executes the 
wsdl2java binary with both services; with CarService first and UserService 
second, and with both service classes being output in package org.example.api, 
then only one objectFactory.java class will be created. First, objectFactory 
will be created with the objects for CarService.wsdl, and then it will be 
overwritten with UserService.wsdl's objects. 

It just so happens that in this scenario, if the former service contains an 
object that is abstract, that is, that it contains types that inherit via 
wsdl's extension keyword, AND methods for creating instances of 
CarService.wsdl's outputted java are NOT present in objectFactory.java, then 
CXF does not include type information in the SOAP messages. 

For example: 
given an alternate CarService.wsdl with the following types:

  <complexType name="Car" abstract="true">
    ...
  </complexType>

  <complexType name="Jeep">
    <extension base="Car">
     ...
    </extension>
  </complexType>

If CarService.wsdl also had a method called getCarById, and wsdl2java output 2 
java classes: getCarById.java and getCarByIdResponse.java, AND wsdl2java on 
UserService.wsdl was executed AFTER it was executed on CarService (resulting in 
an objectFactory without create methods for getCar*), then CXF will send SOAP 
messages like the following

<soap>
  <getCarByIdResponse> <!-- type information here would mistakenly be missing 
--> 
   ...
  </getCarByIdResposne>
</soap>

The ultimate result is that if a project has more than 1 service being output 
in the same package AND if more than 1 type in those two services use type 
extension, then CXF will have problems marshalling those classes because it 
will end up leaving out the type information for all classes not included in 
the ObjectFactory. One alternative would be to have the wsdl2java classes be 
output to multiple packages. If the different services shared types, this would 
result in duplicated code in each service.
