Thanks. That's a help.

The code generator has a "-wsdlLocation" flag that can be used to specify what
is put in those annotations. It might be good to try investigating various
ways to use that. A "common" thing to do is to
specify "/WEB-INF/wsdl/hello.wsdl" or similar to point to a location in the
current war.

CXF generates java code with annotations like this:
@WebServiceClient(name = "XyzService",
wsdlLocation = "file:///path/to/XyzService.wsdl",
targetNamespace = "http://xyz.com/";)
public class XyzService extends Service {
public final static URL WSDL_LOCATION;
public final static QName SERVICE = new QName("http://xyz.com/";,
"XyzService");
public final static QName EmergencyProvisioningPort = new
QName("http://xyz.com/";, "XyzPort");
static {
URL url = null;
try {
url = new URL("file:///path/to/XyzService.wsdl");
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
System.err.println("Can not initialize the default wsdl from
file:///path/to/XyzService.wsdl");
// e.printStackTrace();
}
WSDL_LOCATION = url;
}
...
}
Note that the file URL file:///path/to/XyzService.wsdl is repeated three
times by the generator in different contexts and its reference comes
from the machine where the generator was run.
But suppose I want to write a JUnit test, say, that tests the client I
am building, and let's further suppose that I want to run that test on
different machines, perhaps even on Linux and Windows machines. I will
have to modify the generated code, but I am not aware of any file:// URL
that could be correctly interpreted on both linux and windows unless I
do something ugly like create a /C: directory in linux. If I wanted to
make a requirement that no machine could run this code that did not have
working web server on it, then I could use an http://localhost URL
instead, but that is also not optimal.
Is there some way to have the generator create more portable code than
this? And if not, and I am forced to modify generated code, is there
any possible file:// URL that will work cross-platform?
