I am now getting quite specific. Our WSDL defines four operations and imports 13 schemas. I have solved all of my namespace-to-package mapping issues for our schema files with a JAXB binding file which looks like this: <jxb:bindings version="1.0" | xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" | xmlns:jaxws="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxws" | xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" | wsdlLocation="CARetriever.wsdl"> | <jxb:bindings schemaLocation="xyz.xsd" node="/xs:schema"> | <jxb:schemaBindings> | <jxb:package name="com.ca.webservice.valueobj.xyz"/> | </jxb:schemaBindings> | </jxb:bindings> | <!--and for 12 other schemas as well --> | </jxb:bindings> And I've solved the wsdl:definitions node namespace to mapping issues with a JAX-WS binding file that looks like this: <jaxws:bindings version="2.0" | xmlns:jaxws="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxws" | xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" | xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" | wsdlLocation="CARetriever.wsdl"> | <jaxws:bindings xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" | node="wsdl:definitions"> | <jaxws:package name="com.ca.webservice.caservice"/> | </jaxws:bindings> | </jaxws:bindings> However, my binding element for the WSDL's wsdl:definitions/wsdl:types/xsd:schema node shown below doesn't work - wsconsume produces the message 'Null', then fails to parse the wsdl and subsequently fails to launch WsImport. <jaxws:bindings version="2.0" | <jaxws:bindings | node="wsdl:definitions/wsdl:types/xsd:schema"> | <jxb:schemaBindings> | <jxb:package name="com.ca.webservice.caservice"/> | </jxb:schemaBindings> | </jaxws:bindings> | </jaxws:bindings> I've found many examples of this syntax for this last binding, and I can't see any error. I've also done it with the node attribute written in the (sanitized) form: node="wsdl:definitions/wsdl:types/xsd:schema[@targetNamespace='http://www.ourdomain.com/our/namespace']"> Alas, with no joy. Can anyone help me understand why this last binding attribute isn't working with wsconsume? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4118735#...
