wsimport client - customise multiple package names

Question

I am using wsimport to generate client stubs for JAX-WS webservice calls

wsimport has the -p option which allows to customise name of package.

For eg. if the WSDL has namespace of com.abc, then you can subsitute com.abc by com.pqr by calling wsimport with the -p com.pqr command line.

However, this works fine only if there is only one namespace used in the wsdl.
If there are multiple namespaces in the wsdl, is there a way to replace each of them with a different package name.

For eg. if I want namespace com.abc.s1 to be replaced by namespace com.pqr.s1 & namespace com.abc.s2 to be replaced by namespace com.pqr.s2.

If I use wsimport -p com.pqr.s1, it puts all the generated classes into com.pqr.s1

Is there a way to achieve what I want?

Generally, you use a jax-b bindings file to customize the unmarshal process for a given XSD or WSDL. The bindings language provides the <package/> directive for the purpose of customizing the generated package of a schema.

Given separate schemata, in separate files, you can have a composite bindings file that'll look something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jaxb:bindings xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
               xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
               jaxb:version="2.0">
  <jaxb:bindings schemaLocation="Flight.xsd"  node="/xsd:schema">
    <jaxb:schemaBindings>
      <jaxb:package name="travel.flight"/>
    </jaxb:schemaBindings>
  </jaxb:bindings>
  <jaxb:bindings schemaLocation="Hotel.xsd" node="/xsd:schema">
    <jaxb:schemaBindings>
      <jaxb:package name="travel.hotel"/>
    </jaxb:schemaBindings>
  </jaxb:bindings>
</jaxb:bindings>

Where schemaLocation will refer to the location of individual schema files, node refers to the XML element that the binding declaration is supposed to apply to. <jaxb:package/> will define the name of the output package.

You should then feed the bindings file to wsimport using the -b directive and you should be fine
