It's been a long day of travel...apparently I was right the first time.
I cannot seem to get the <configuration> in the <execution> to work. (I
thought I had commented out the <configuration> in the <plugin> when I had
not.)
What I would like to do is something like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>axistools-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>myService</id>
<configuration>
<fileName>Some.wsdl</fileName>
<location>location</location>
<classOfPortType>package.MyClass</classOfPortType>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>java2wsdl</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
