I'm using the maven jaxb2 plugin to generate Java classes, built from schemas in a jar. However, I'm not sure how to correctly locate to these schemas from a bindings file. If Iextract the schemas from the jar and drop them in the same directory as the bindings, all is well. However, this isn't a practical long term solution.
pom.xml:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jaxb2-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.8.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>generate</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<schemas>
<schema>
<dependencyResource>
<groupId>com.test</groupId>
<artifactId>schemas</artifactId>
<version>1.10-SNAPSHOT</version>
<resource>schemas/schema.xsd</resource>
</dependencyResource>
</schema>
</schemas>
<bindingDirectory>bindings</bindingDirectory>
<generatePackage>test.package</generatePackage>
<bindingIncludes>
<include>*.xml</include>
</bindingIncludes>
<extension>true</extension>
</configuration>
</plugin>
bindings.xml:
<jxb:bindings xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb ./bindingschema_2_1.xsd"
version="2.1">
<jxb:bindings schemaLocation="classpath:/schemas/schema.xsd" node="/xs:schema">
<jxb:bindings node="//xs:complexType[@name='AbstractChangeable']">
<jxb:class implClass="com.test.AbstractEntity" />
</jxb:bindings>
</jxb:bindings>
You need to use maven-dependency-plugin:unpack
and then point maven-jaxb2-plugin
to outputDirectory
. In this case in binding file you need to say something like schemaLocation="../target/schemas/schema.xsd"
