One option is to go completely code first and not generate anything. Use the same SEI interface for the client and for the service impls. You don't need to generate any wsdl's or anything then. I know Apache CXF supports that directly without problems. No generation of anything needed at all. With the Sun RI, you would still need wsgen to generate the wrapper beans/fault beans, but it can also compile them.

Jan, thank you very much for your suggestion.

That was almost the first thing I tried. The problem is that my web service instances (I call them Nodes - they're components of a distributed DB system) need to talk to each other.

A Node needs to be compiled to generate the client bindings, and a Node needs to invoke the bindings to talk to other Nodes. There's always a circular dependency. I tried to get around this by abstracting the process of talking to a node in order to hide the JAXWS client bindings from the nodes that use them. That let me attempt the two-pass
compilation hack, but can't get around the circular dependency.

I think I'm going to bootstrap my module by checking in the generated code and artifacts.

Just for reference, does anyone know for sure if you can give different configs for
different <execution>s of maven-compiler-plugin?

|
| 1 Compile class A in package org.myorg, which is annotated with @WebService
|
| 2 Run JAXWS's wsgen (via maven-jaxws-plugin) to make a WSDL from the
| compiled A.class
|
| 3 Run JAXWS's wsimport (via maven-jaxws-plugin) to make client- side bindings
| from the
| just-generated WSDL
|
| 4 Compile non-generated classes that reference the just-generated client
| bindings. These
| live in separate sub-packages - org.myorg.x, org.myorg.y, etc - and would
| have failed if
| compiled during step 1 because they reference code generated in step 3.
|
| I've included (what I hope are) the relevant sections of my pom below.
|
| PS: Do I need to do things this way? Unfortunately, I think so. Class
| org.myorg.A is a
| web service that needs to invoke other org.myorg.A web services arranged in
| a tree or mesh
| topology. I've tried to break out the bindings, the SEI (A), and the
| classes that
| abstract the connection between As using the client bindings into
| submodules, but I've
| only managed to introduce circular dependencies.
|
| In the past, I've dealt with this sort of chicken-and-egg problem by
| generating WSDLs and
| code and then checking them into source control. This feels bad, and makes
| updates if the
| interface of the SEI changes a hassle. I'd much rather define a simple SEI
| annotated with
| @WebService and have the low-level stuff (WSDLs, client bindings) generated
| from that.
