How do I generate equals and hashCode with the CXF xjcplugin

Question

I am trying to generate a Java class containing the methods toString, equals and hashCode from an XSD file. I got toString working, but I am not able to figure out how to get the CXF plugin to generate the equals and the hashCode methods.

This is my XSD file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/messagedefinitions"
           xmlns="http://www.example.com/messagedefinitions">


    <xs:element name="Message">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element name="status" type="Status"/>
                <xs:element name="id" type="Identifier"/>
            </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>

    <xs:simpleType name="Status">
        <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
            <xs:maxLength value="4"/>
        </xs:restriction>
    </xs:simpleType>

    <xs:simpleType name="Identifier">
        <xs:restriction base="xs:int"/>
    </xs:simpleType>

</xs:schema>

My working POM (what does not work is commented out) :

The bindings file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jaxb:bindings
        xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
        xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc"
        jaxb:version="2.1">
    <jaxb:globalBindings>
        <xjc:serializable uid="1234"/>
    </jaxb:globalBindings>
</jaxb:bindings>

If I un-comment the commented-out lines for the Xequals I get this error :

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.cxf:cxf-xjc-plugin:2.6.1:xsdtojava (generate-sources) on project xsd-demo: Could not download extension artifact: Requested download does not exist. Could not find artifact org.apache.cxf.xjcplugins:cxf-xjc-Xequals:jar:2.6.1 in central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2)

Fine, I realise that the artifact does not exist, but I do not know then how to configure the CXF plugin to generate the equals and hashCode methods. Do you know how I can configure the CXF plugin to generate the equals and hashCode methods ? Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer 1

I was not able to get the cxf-xjc-plugin to generate the equals and hashCode methods from the XML schema files. I gave up on the cxf-xjc-plugin and turned to the maven-jaxb2-plugin instead. This is the plugin configuration I used :

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-jaxb2-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>0.8.3</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>generate</id>
      <phase>generate-sources</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>generate</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <extension>true</extension>
          <generatePackage>my.package.name</generatePackage>
          <args>
            <arg>-XtoString</arg>
            <arg>-Xequals</arg>
            <arg>-XhashCode</arg>
          </args>
          <schemaDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/resources</schemaDirectory>
          <schemaIncludes>
            <include>xsd/*.xsd</include>
          </schemaIncludes>
          <plugins>
            <plugin>
              <groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons</groupId>
              <artifactId>jaxb2-basics</artifactId>
              <version>0.6.4</version>
            </plugin>
          </plugins>
        </configuration>
      </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>
