Sub Classes not getting generated in Jar

[Seema Hemant]

Hi,

I am using top-down approach of webservices. I have written wsdl to generate sub-class of a main-class. main class is Account and sub-classes are DomesticAccount and InternationalAccount using <xs:extension base="tns:Account">. When I generate java code from wsdl, sub-classes are getting generated. I have a method with return type of only main class. So when i deploy this service and try to generate jar by pointing to server, I am not getting sub-classes in the jar, may be because they are not part of In Parameters OR Out Parameters of any method. I can use dummy methods to have sub-classes as in parameters and get them generated in the jar. But is there any other way to get sub-classes in the jar, which is rather a refined/perfect approach. Please let me know on this.



Also I am facing the same issue in bottom-up approach. I have the sub-classes which are not part of in parameters or out parameters any method so not getting generated in the deployed service jar and wsdl.



I am using JDK1.5 compiler and IBMWebsphere 6.1 server. Please let me know on this as soon as possible. My work got stuck because of this.

Hi!
If you are using JAXB, then you can use the following approach to define two XML schema types that will result in the JAXB generated classes having the relation parent-child class:

    <xs:complexType name="aType">
        <!-- Contents is irrelevant for the example. -->
    </xs:complexType>
    <xs:element name="root" type="ens:aType" />

    <xs:complexType name="bType">
        <xs:complexContent>
            <xs:extension base="ens:aType">
                <!-- Contents is irrelevant for the example. -->
            </xs:extension>
        </xs:complexContent>
    </xs:complexType>
    <xs:element name="leaf" type="ens:bType"/>

Best wishes!
