Hello axis and maven users, Sorry to double post, but I have been struggling for some days with maven2 and axis2 code generation for a web service implementation and sometimes I don't know where to ask questions. Maybe you could excuse my double posting since I am not making a question, but explaining a solution for my problem.
I want to make a maven project for a webservice implementation using axis2. It has been very hard because I need to use the xmlbeans databinding and the maven plugins don't work for me in this case. I found a great solution for a multi module project that generates an aar artifact of a webservice, when another project uses this aar artifact. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/73491 However, this did not work completely for me because: 1. I need the java2wsdl to generate xmlbeans stub classes. Easy to do when using wsdl2java, but when using the axis2-wsdl2code-maven-plugin it is not possible 2. Because of reason 1, I need to generate xmlbeans classes for xsd and wsdl files. The xmlbeans-maven-plugin has a known bug that cannot generate classes for wsdl. It is fixed but not patched to the trunk. 3. I do not want to generate sources every time I compile the project. I just need to run the generate-sources phase once. So I managed to solve my problem with the pom.xml below. This pom only generates an aar file that I was able to hot-deploy to an axis2 server. I don't have the parent pom yet nor the module that packs the aar file in a war, but it's a good start. I just hope it is useful for someone else in the future. Also if anyone wants to take a look and tell me if there is something wrong with it, please tell me. Thanks, pom.xml: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- Project for web service aar generation using axis2 and xmlbeans databinding Author: David Ojeda dojeda /at/ integra.la Date: 20081105 --> <project> <parent> <artifactId>ws-parent</artifactId> <groupId>my.group</groupId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> </parent> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>my.group</groupId> <artifactId>ws-aar</artifactId> <packaging>aar</packaging> <name>ws-aar</name> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <url>http://example.org</url> <profiles> <!-- Profile for axis and xmlbeans source generation.

Usually it is every class that does not extends org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlObject i.e. Skeleton, MessageReceiver, Faults. The developer may not want to copy these files if he/she already has a copy in src/main/java.
