Problem generating Java SOAP web services client with JDK tool wsimport from a WSDL generated by a .NET 2.0 application

Viewed 38029

I'm trying to generate a client for some SOAP web services using the JDK 6 tool wsimport. The WSDL was generated by a .NET 2.0 application. For .NET 3.X applications, it works fine.

When I run

wsimport -keep -p mypackage http://myservice?wsdl

it shows several error messages like this:

[ERROR] A class/interface with the same name "mypackage.SomeClass" is already in use. Use a class customization to resolve this conflict. line ?? of http://myservice?wsdl

When I generate the web services client using Axis 1.4 (using the Eclipse WebTools plug-in).

Does anybody know what can I do in order to use the wsimport tool? I really don't understand what the "class customization" thing is.

For anyone reading this using maven, this is how to add it to the .pom file. Note the args in the configuration section. This is not very easily found in documentation. Many thanks to Isaac Stephens for his help with this.

<!-- definition for ERPStandardWork service -->
<execution>
  <id>ERPStandardWorkService</id>
  <goals>
    <goal>wsimport</goal>
  </goals>
  <configuration>
    <!-- this resolves naming conflicts within the wsdl - there are several copies of fault report objects which clash otherwise. -->
    <args>
       <arg>-B-XautoNameResolution</arg>
    </args>
    <wsdlDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/resources/META-INF/wsdl</wsdlDirectory>
    <wsdlFiles>
        <wsdlFile>ERPStandardWork.wsdl</wsdlFile>
    </wsdlFiles>
      <wsdlLocation>${basedir}/src/main/resources/META-INF/wsdl/ERPStandardWork.wsdl
    </wsdlLocation>
    <staleFile>${project.build.directory}/jaxws/ERPStandardWork/.staleFlag
    </staleFile>
  </configuration>
</execution>

You are possibly generating all the classes from the WSDL file in the same package. If that is the case, try specifying a different target package for each WSDL file with the -p option of wsimport.
