Problems getting an external JAXB/JAXWS binding file to work. XPath evaluation of <valid xpath> results in empty target node

4.8k Views Asked by At

I'm at my wits' end and am hoping someone can help. I'm trying to generate a WSClient using Gradle 1.6, CXF 2.7.5, Oracle JDK 1.6.0_33 and and WSDLToJava

The WSDL I am consuming results in static nested Java classes which I can't figure out how to populate when building request objects, to alleviate this I have created a custom class which I want to have bound in place of the static nested classes. My custom class is designed to be a replacement to the <ControlData> element in the WSDL below, pertaining to the 'ExportVocabulary70' operation.

This is the error I'm seeing when I run WSDL2Java:

XPath evaluation of
"wsdl:definitions/wsdl:types/s:schema/s:element[@name='ExportVocabulary70']/s:complexType[@name='ControlData']"
results in empty target node

I have pasted the WSDL, Binding File, Custom Class, Gradle build task and console output below. Apologies for the verbosity, I have snipped away as much as I can.

I have tried so many variations of jaxb:binding and jaxws:binding that I have lost count, I have now googled myself out of ideas so am most grateful for any wisdom from people here.

Cheers,

Edd

Try an xpath of just "//s:schema/s:element[@name='ExportVocabulary70']/s:complexType[@name='ControlData']"

and see if that helps.

Please see--> http://cxf.apache.org/docs/wsdl-to-java.html. Please navigate to external binding.Probably,error would not be related to xpath.
